Telemachus Reborn

Introduction

Telemachus Reborn is a KSP (Kerbal Space Program) plugin that exposes real-time telemetry and flight control over HTTP and WebSocket. It lets you build external dashboards, mission control interfaces, autopilots, and more.

Features

Section titled “Features”
  • 400+ telemetry variables — orbital mechanics, vessel state, navigation, resources, delta-V, and more
  • REST API — GET /api/v.altitude returns { "v.altitude": 12500.0 }
  • Batch queries — GET /telemachus/datalink?key1=v.altitude&key2=o.PeA for multiple values at once
  • WebSocket streaming — subscribe to variables at configurable rates
  • Flight control — throttle, staging, SAS, RCS, action groups, fly-by-wire
  • Mod integrations — FAR, MechJeb, RealChute, Astrogator, and more

Architecture

Section titled “Architecture”

Telemachus runs an embedded HTTP/WebSocket server inside KSP. When the game is running with a vessel loaded, external clients can connect on port 8085 (configurable) to read telemetry and send commands.

Quick Start

Section titled “Quick Start”
  1. Install the plugin (see Installation)
  2. Launch KSP and load a vessel
  3. Open http://localhost:8085 in your browser for the built-in dashboard
  4. Or query the API directly: curl http://localhost:8085/api/v.altitude
