  1. Appreciate it @WellItExplodedAgain . Now this has been successful, my intention is to develop a successful rover design for further planetary explorations. Since I'm using USI Life Support, I need to ensure they have all the necessary supplies & scientific capabilities to explore beyond the premises of the Mun Base! This would also be an adequate opportunity to design an ExoMars probe mission which I like to call ExoDuna to deploy a probe on Duna!
  2. A further update to everyone! I have successfully now landed 6 Kerbonauts next to the Mun Base! Here are some pictures The Launch of the unmanned "Altair" Lander Module through a probe and the 6 Kerbonaut crewed "Orion" MPMV that will rendezvous with the unmanned Lander Module. The rendezvous and establishing the orbit with the "Orion" MPMV and the "Altair" Lander. The successful landing of the "Altair" landing module. The flag planted on the "Farside Crater" where the base and the lander is. A photo poses from all 6 Kerbonauts in front of the Mun Base, Callsign "Ariel 1-A". Now these lot can get on and start working plus MOAR science
  3. No problem! I now need to land my Kerbonauts to start using this base! So I have already tested and developed my Orion MPMC. I'm now in the process of my final design for the "Altair" Lander.
  4. So after long hours and some near destruction like experience, I present to you the following transcript. KSC Flight Director: This is mission control, "Asipda" has just sent us a visual confirmation. We have now established "Ares 1-A" Mun Outpost "Everyone shouts and screams full of joy and happiness" Jill Kerman to the Board of Directors: See I told you
  5. Hi @Pecan, The obvious route would be the Hitchhiker Container but I want to replicate the Orion MCMV and MAV (Mars Ascend Vehicle). Fortunately, the HERMES mod by xxhandsonmaxxand Orbital Escape that has the MAV. So I've used that to create my Orion MCMV and soon my MAV module. Here are some pictures
  6. HI EliteKerbalPlayers, Is there any mod or command module known that looks similar to the Mk1-2 Command Pod but has a higher seating capacity say about 6 or more? Thanks, Joel
  7. Wow @Tiber9, I was about to give up on the posting further content here when you liked it! I genuinely though people lost interest as there are other fantastic projects out there. I appreciate the like. So here is a further update about the mission. I basically used the CHS module technique to land my next module, the Habitat module. However during my descent, I saved the habitat module but my sky crane (which was wobbly and nearly out of fuel) kamikazed onto another nearby area of the Mun. I'm just bloody fortunate that no Kerbonauts were lost but I lost about √ 202,000. So yeah! I have to launch a new sky crane but with more SAS controls!
  8. ============================================================================================================== "LYRA" - ORBITAL REFUELING SYSTEM & CHS DEPLOYMENT MISSION ============================================================================================================== So, after the successful deployment for the foundational pieces for "Lyra" Lunar Base Deployment Systems (LBDS), it was understood that the "Asipda" Orbital Skycrane (OSC) requires fuel to land all these modules on the lunar surface. Hence the Orbital Refueling System was launched to dock with the main LBDS Station. After the successful mandatory requirements for the LBDS were met, it was then decided to launch the CHS module (the main segment for the Ares 1-A Mun Base) to be docked with the LBDS station. After the successful docking of the CHS module,there was a waiting period of 30 minutes to land this module on the lunar surface, The landing area is precisely 22km away from the original landing made by Jebediah and Bob Kerman. The fairings around the CHS module were safely removed and it was successfully docked with Aspida OSC. The OSC then successfully established the route for the landing site dubbed "Ares 1-A". After several tense minutes of modifying and verifying all the flight controls and descent mechanisms, the first module for the Mun base has successfully landed on the surface of the Mun. The "Aspida" OSC then undocked with the CHS and landed successfully next to it. It was now a waiting game to get the right opportunity for the OSC to dock with the LBDS Station to be refueled and to get ready to deploy the other modules for the Mun Base.
  9. Hi EliteKerbalPlayers, I was told by @Dman979 that he would be very interested to see my mission report. But what the hell is my mission? Well, if you check out the content below, you'll see what I mean.... P.S. I would like to thank the following members for welcoming and assisting me by providing examples and useful advice :- @Zhetaan @Dman979 @WellItExplodedAgain @Starhawk @legoclone09
