You are right, it did unlock the "Scanning Tech" Pannel in your RnD building. I guess upon discovering those VERY strange monoliths, it unlocks the next research in a random field of science.

Just had to pay a little more attention i guess.... Solid Support guys!

After all my contract conditions are met, i remain unable to use the "Run test" button and thus completing the contract. Contract and conditions: Test Heat Shield (1.25m) in flight over Kerbal. Kerbin Flying altitude : 24.000m to 29.000m speed : 1.000m/s to 1.350m/s Its a fairly easy mission right at the beginning. So if it was bugged i think i would have found a mention in some forum. Do i miss a science part to be able to test it? Work the second time around. hmm thanks anyway. wont be my last thread = )

I was going for my first orbital flight. As i know by now, you have to prepare for extensive heat when reentering into kerbal. So i equipped my rocket with enough parachutes (Normal and Drogue) to savely land and also, to protect my chutes from heatdistruction, put some radiator panel on them. As i came back down i started my radiator panels seperately and waited for the heat to cool down, but form the moment the heat started my chutes where all red( would have been destroyed upon opening) and never became useable again, even after completely cooling down and reaching speeds below 700m/s. The only way to make them work again, was to turn the radiator panels of again, after cooling down.. I see no logical connection there, since the chutes are not obstructed by the panels( on or off) when launching the rocket. Anyone know whats happening there? Why would my radiation panel kill my chutes? (only after reentry) Do even need to protect chutes? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah i had the wrong m/s in mind. Had even more than 500 on impact hence the "red chutes". Thanks for the awesome replys. i learned more than just about chutes. What an awesome game
