Constellation project 1.1 mission!

[DunaManiac]

Hi everyone, lately i've been working on the lunar portion of the constellation project. I was inspired by someone's constellation ship pack, and so I decided I would do so too. I made a few mistakes, like letting the lander go before we left the mun's sphere of influence and managed to destroy the landing gear on touchdown, but i think it's good and I hope you like it!  

                                                                         Here the test orion seperates from the second stage of the Ares I

The Altair lander takes off and heading for orbit (below)

 

                                                                         Heres the whole stack, waiting for translunar ejection 

The perfect view from EDS of Altair/Orion in munar orbit. (I kept it until then because I was worried about fuel. Just after this picture I deorbited it). 

 

 

 

The triumphant photo of Jebediah on the mun! (I lost the landing gear on touchdown even though i was going at 4 m/s on touchdown i think it's because of the weight.) 

 

(below) Orion with Bill and Bob in low mun orbit.

 

The triumphant docking of the two spacecraft, ironically this happened right over the landing site in the 'farside' crater (below) edit: on docking I had a little accident with altair and lost one of my solar panels.

 

The orion reentry (on it's second pass because I was too shallow) above

 

                                                                                           (above) success! (ironically I had too much fuel)

I think this should be in mission reports...
