Class E asteroid with 87%Ore(2500t) Stable LKO (Update)

[JZ6]

Well this is an update to this thread http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/130283-Catch-of-the-century-Class-E-asteroid-with-90-Ore

Basically i captured my first asteroid and it is a literal goldmine!

After 2 days of kerbin capture/ orbit fine tuning with 3 mammoth engines and 5 separately docked rcs nodes, I have finally stabilized kerbin's third moon XD .

You'll crash Kerbin's economy with this sudden influx of resources. Or you could just become the De Beers of Kerbin.

In all seriousness though, I have very little success in asteroid capture. It's like the Mars Curse, something always seems to go wrong when I undertake asteroid missions. I even lost a 3-man crew on a routine asteroid scouting mission (flyby, no capture) due to a horrific collision with said asteroid.

congratulations. I've never even managed to get close to one, let alone catch one...

Well done! Now, to go as near as possible to landing on the thing...

"there is a called too close of a flyby"

OR

"i wouldnt call it a flyby"

Very Cool.

But usually threads are updated within the original thread..... hence the term "update". Just the moderator in me speaking his mind.

At the risk of being a spoilsport...

My biggest asteroid so far had been 2500t, this thing was ever so slightly larger than what I had bargained for.
