En teoría lo tienes correcto, en principio deberías dejar correr el tiempo y de vez en cuando te debería avisar que el telescopio ha descubierto algo, cuando llegue a 6 te dará la misión (eso sí, en mi anterior carrera nunca me saltó el mensaje de detección XD) Saludos

This way is fine, also you can try with SAS On and "mantain stability" mode (can help in landing on slopes and unstables landings in general)

1. Yes, even you can launch different parts and dock afterwars (but all the launches must have been done after you accept the contract). 2. No, you can docked landed: in sotck putting wheels to the parts and docking (but its a bit tricky). Another pleople uses KIS/KAS mod and uses KIS pipes to glue the parts together, 3. Yeah, and a laboratory for gathering sciencie, for example. 4. For me, yes. But its your playstile what matters. For example, my fuel depot scheme is: Gather the ore in mum: I prefer mum against mimmus cause the time travel from mum to kerbin is lower. As Im very bad at precision landing, my ship gathers ore and convert to LF+ox, and rendervous with my low-orbit base in mum. From the mum (with another ship) I tranfer the fuel to my LKO base. Other players do it totally different; you put an ore converter in the surface and all the ships that have to refuel, lands near and are filled with the surface ore converter.

Hi! I've been a little busy last weeks, I was only able doing some test.. and yes, vectors gimbal is quite powerful, resulting in great explosions while staging xD Your design flies quite well btw, one of my lastest test.. It did succesfully orbit with around 800m/s to spare launching at 2500 metres (when I learned the gravity turn in eve is at 30-35Km instead of 10km, lol), Ive to test it near a shore.. now Im testing to attach a minirover to get more science from a few biomes near the landing site (an transfer it to the rocket's probe core..). Now, the rocket can land only with the chutes, but launching TWR is awful xD (0.99, the "landing legs" are full of Ox+LF lol), Cheers

Not at all (nobody expects the spanish inquisiton! Lol)

Hello, Yes, much better with your secuence (also, I''ll never recognize I was trying to land.. in a lake ). The first (more or less, all the landing legs just exploded) save landing: In the first ascent tests with mechjeb (without configuring it for eve xD, the fairing just explodes for temp) talks to me I need wings xD. Thanks!

Hello everybody! I didn't know how to put the inflate heat shield in the top of the rocket xD ... Yesterday, I tried configuring the fairing in intersetage mode, thanks to that, appears an open node outside the fairing where I could attach the inflable shield :-D. Now, I'm triyng to redesign a bit the ship, cause I'm able to land, but when I jettison the upper shield, it brokes some pieces of the ship :-S (I've been able to redesign the bottom heat shield cause it stucked in the engines when I jettiosoned it). Thank you for the information, I''m looking forward to do this test, but first I want to be able to land consistently. Thanks you guys.

Hi! I forgot to mention it, I thought about putting the second heatshield, but, how I get an open node at the top of the ship? Fairings and nose cone AFAIK doesn't have it, and I don't know how to design that (and of course, the design needs to be structural robust).

Hello fellows, I've started the tests for my first attemp to Eve; I'm thinking what to do there, the easy part: - First station around eve. - DSN around eve. - Also, I'm thinking in a little refueler for Guilly. The hard part is what to do in eve; my first idea was to make a small probe (or mini rover) and transmit a bit of science of eve's biomes (I dont wanted to do a dificult manned lander-ascender), but I thouhgt it will be easier to do a sample-return poyect; do experiments in eve with a small probe - rover and transfer the experiments to a little ascender, and then bring the experiments to the laboratory of the space station around eve (for the rol-playing justification to send a manned station). So, I began with the test; Ive created a copy of the game and I'm trying to see if its too dificult to do or not. I've used cheats to put the lander-ascent vehicle around eve and try landing in eve; the results, in all the test, the ship starts flipping at 80-50Km in the atmosphere and explodes. An image of the ship: As you can see, Ive tried lowering all as I can the center of mass of the ship to be the closest to the heat shield, and Ive added in several iterations 4 big reaction whells and a few airbrakes, but the ship keeps flipping (with airbreak and reaction whells, deeper in the atmosphere). The way I'm entering the atmosphere is from a 100x100 circular orbit, burn to get down the periapsis to 50-40Km. ¿Anybody has any idea to get closer the center of mass to the heatshield? The parts in the fairing are: Core, little antenna, small RCS tank, 4 rcs thrusters, and a battery. It's around 1ton of mass (I have to add a FL-400 tank an a terrier for the final rendervous with the station, so the ship will have a mass around 1,5 - 2 ton). The rest of the ship are 5 tanks and 5 vectors, in asparagous staging, to get more deltaV and four chutes... Another question, ¿how much deltaV is need to get off eve? The deltaV map shows 8k, but I think this amount of deltaV will be less in KER readabouts as its in eve sea level...

Yeah, thats true, even mechjeb doesnt recognice that the tanks are empty and doesnt stage it. I've always thought its cause the fuel flow is bidirectional with the decopulers and unidirectional in fuel lines. BTW, lately I prefer configure the rocket with fuel flow priorities cause its a bit more flexible ( for ex. because the TWR of the staged rocket goes much lower than the TWRs of the not-staged rocket).

But AFAIK,, if you do it that way, (in the vab) yo cant change the crossfeed priority of the tanks, so itsnt asparagous staging (but you can do It before the Launch).

Thank you everybody for the answers, finally I've installed a small radiator in each sat (and lander). Now, waiting a pair of weeks for the transfer window. The link: https://imgur.com/U7TeLx8 My duna mothership has 4 clusters of three nervs each and i didn't cooled anything in the transfer burn.

Hello fellows, While my Duna and Dres missions are in travel to their destiny, I'm dessigning a little Moho mission. The Moho mission will consist in three sats for future manned coverage and ISRU scan and a little lander, but, I've read several times in this forums that heat is a problem near Moho. What heat protection do the lander / sats need? As always, an image: https://imgur.com/PxlZqbt Thx!

Do you have any relay antenna in the sat? (The link doesn't work for me).

As an example, an image of my actual refueler for mimmus (10k of ore, but wobbles when its mimming xD) ; https://imgur.com/2mwvdkG Cheers
