After a test above Frontier and a Dress rehearsal after that, we had done a landing on Scar. Honestly I doubt you would want to land a LEM onto Scar given it's gravity is around 10% or less of Kerbin so the Gemini lander would work. First Launch: The lander. Rocket: Titan II with Delta K stage. Payload: Gemini Lander codenamed "Kovu" Unfortunately, Dummy me forgot to put an Avionics unit on the Delta stage so we had to send the Gemini to it and have Jeb EVA to the lander, decouple and dock with Gemini while still above Frontier. Second Launch: Crew Rocket: Titan II Centaur with SRBs. Payload: Gemini Lunar Capsule codenamed "Kiara" Crew: Jebediah Kerman Gemini Pilot, Mirik Kerman Lander Pilot. You seen my launches lol but for now the Docking and EVA. After using Centaur to get to Scar we reached its SOI and orbited about 28,321 Meters above Scar. Mirik enters Kovu and enjoys the view. Careful....steady...... TOUCHDOWN! One small step for Kerbals, another.....small step for Kerbalkind. We brought ourselves a CCTV camera on the lander but Mirik forgot to turn it on until after landing. Wasn't until I was about to leave when I realized this is the first time I landed on Scar with Frontier visible from the surface.

Wild Wind 2 made a flyby of Windswept. Wild Wind 1 did reach Windswept's SOI but due to signal issues it was very far lol. The rest of the mission. Unfortunately we miscalculated the minimum distance and it ended up entering the atmosphere and burning up, we did get science from the flyby but not from the Atmosphere. Hopefully Wild Wind 3 can make a orbit or flyby of it's Moon.

Mission: Manned Flyby of Scar. Payload: Lunar Gemini named Zira. Launch Vehicle: Titan II with SRBs and Centaur. Crew: Jedediah and Bob. Liftoff we have liftoff. Houston we may had a problem. Everything was good and we got to a stable orbit, unfortunately my decals disappeared until reentry. Centaur did not blow up on us. We arrived on Scar and proceed to gather science while we flewby. Hey Jeb Now the decals show. Overall a lucky successful Mission, now as much as I love Apollo, given how this planet pack is I will run out of unmanned science and funding for Frontier and Scar before i get Apollo, so I might be thinking of a landing with Gemini.

I tend to have the main interplanetary ship orbit Kerbin, never for atmosphere unless I am decommissioning it. I tend to launch a smaller craft like Gemini, Apollo or Fuji and sock them with the bigger ship and when I'm done onuse the smaller ones to reenter after orbiting Kerbin. I only directly reenter if returning from Mun or Minmus.

To be fair its all I go for I am using Skyhawk's tree, I don't have Titan III and not even close for Saturn parts. I need the money and science and my closes launch window for another planet wont be around for over a year. So I am gonna risk my kerbalnauts in the name of science. Find out tomorrow, my real life schedule is too busy for tonight.
