Wild Wind IV successfully orbits Windswept.

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.

The terrain is is very rocky and the space center is in a crater like area and parts of the runway is covered in snow.

I'll wait until the X-15 is out of beta before using it, plus the planet pack I am using the home planet is not airplane friendly lol.

Tetanus.

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.

I am gonna name you Wick. Also I got a rocket prepped for a Manned Flyby of Scar. For once not too cursed. I read one proposal for a Lunar Gemini mission was to slap a Centaur on the back of the spacecraft and launch with a Titan with SRBs.

Its called "Atlantis" by Jacktical. There is also called Lemon and Transmission. You can find it in the Forums just look up Jacktical's TFX Profiles.

Trying out a TUFX profile I found during a High orbit Gemini Mission. Might use it on other missions, There is a planet in the pack I am using that would work really well.

First docking in this career. First launch. Launch Vehicle: Thor Agena. Payload: G.A.T.V (Gemini Agena Targeting Vehicle) Mission: Get to Low Frontier Orbit. Agena pictures. Second Launch. Launch Vehicle: Titan II GLV. Payload: Gemini Spacecraft named "Armstrong" Crew: Pilot Valentina Kerman and Scienctist Bob Kerman VII. Hi Val.

Did they also make an all orange color like the SLS? I know some parts for the Saturn have it already but I do know the S-IC stage does not have it? or only the all white?

Wasn't gonna take screencaps of the unmanned Gemini test but this one is I could not resist.

I don't think decals would be an issue given 90% of the people here tend to make cursed rockets all of the time lol. But in all seriousness the Atlas rockets are coming along nicely.

Incase of emergency. Your space pencil can double act as a flotation device.

About the orbital Mercury mission....I lied. Mission: First Manned Orbit of Frontier. Payload: Mercury Capsule Orbit variation named "Circle 7" Crew: Valentina Kerman VIII. Launch Vehicle: Titan I ICBM. Atleast we did not land on a mountain.

I seen one of those in real life.

X15 on a Orion and I don't mean the SLS Orion .

I finally got all the parts for Mercury and after a few unmanned suborbital test I launched my first Kerbal. Spacecraft: Mercury Space Capsule named "Frontier 7" Launch Vehicle: Redstone Rocket. Pilot: Jedediah Kerman VII (No I did not kill him 6 times lol) Before you ask. No, Mercury Capsules do not make great bobsleds. Overall the mission was successful, after 2-3 more suborbital flights we will get the Ti....Atlas Ready for orbital flights.

Due to not being able to send Kerbals to space yet in my career and I need more science and funding I decided to build a Surveyor and land it on Scar. I honestly wanted to use a Atlas Centaur but i do not have Centaur unlocked. That and the Surveyor would throw a Blackstone rocket off balanced. Third reason is I don't have enough funding for the VAB so I am stuck with the 30 part limit. So Welcome the Atlas-Arrow. Bonus Cookie for those who get the tongue in cheek joke with the insignia. I actually removed the SRB from the Surveyor mainly to cut back on part limits but also with the Precursor planet pack, you don't need it to land on Scar. Good news is we safely landed on Scar. Bad News is we landed on the side a mountain. Do I recommend slapping the Black Arrow onto an Atlas and then slap a Surveyor to.....HELL NO! That thing was highly unstable and I barely had enough Delta V to leave Frontier.

Challenge accepted.

Will we have a Navaho or something similar to launch it, or is that something for us to kitbash lol.

So beautiful, just hope they don't collapse.
