Bhopz Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Wilson Kerman orbiting Bop. A total of 3 orbits was made with a nice pinpoint landing on the ladder of the crew module, with little pack fuel to spare. This can be done more efficiently, but i did mess up the landing a bit and needed to use more fuel than necessary.http://imgur.com/a/t9Uiv#0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accelerando Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I launched 3 missions to Jool (warning: somewhat unorganized album) almost at the same time - at least, in the range of about 1 ingame month. Had I handled the initial burns better I could probably have had enough propellant to return home, but as it stands, the 9 brave Kerbals who made it out to Laythe orbit will serve as the precursors for the next salvo of missions meant to establish an ORDA space station and permanent surface base at the ocean moon.

Znath Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) Tweaked my lander a bit more for a Duna return mission. I already stranded Jeb there because I didn't have the fuel to make it back my first time.I call my standard launch system the Taurus5, so this is the "Taurus5 N2 D"N2 because it's my 2nd nuclear designD for 4th mission of this mission typeAt first I added the two tanks near the front, but that wasn't enough. Then I added 2 more half tanks to those front ones. Then added 3 big solid boosters to the launch stage.As tempting as landing on the polar caps was, I opted for a more equatorial landing to save fuel...I set my approach to bottom at 10000m which forced the craft to skim the atmosphere longer and burn off a lot more energy. The two side fuel pods then deployed two large parachutes.... I swear those things open at the last minute to scare you on purpose.Ok... thought I had at least ONE with me on the surface... I did land, walked around, I think I landed in the most boring area on the whole planet, a shallow crater surrounded by hills and plains. It was a miracle I made it, but on the other hand... nothin to see.I tried to save as much of the ship as I could... but I was comin in a bit fast at 15m/s so I dropped the rest just before landing. The nuclear engine was crushed, I'm sure the core was intact, we'll know soon as they dig it out of the ground.I just noticed the fact it erased my time because I got out at the end.Lets just say it was a 5 year mission... took dang near forever. I wish the time warp had one more zero on it....Also, is this the smallest Duna lander?? I landed with approximately 3 full tanks worth of fuel left with two empty halves. Basically, the top picture is what I left Kerbin orbit in.5 whole tanks 4 halves 1 nuclear rocket 1 rcs tank 4 landing gear, 2 big parachutes, 1 small one, the cockpit, ladders.. think that's just about it.

what-the Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 My Eve rocket. Made it to Eve, just. It also has a whole bunch of stuff added on so that it can be mounted on to a bigger rocket for a return mission with some modifications.3 & 1/2 full 1 meter tanks. 3 1 meter rcs tanks.

It's possible to get into 70km circular orbit around Kerbin with just 1 LV-T30, 1 LV-909, 2 FL-T400s and 1 FL-T200, so with the nuclear engine I'd imagine you could make it back from Duna with something on that order, but I haven't tried it myself.

A Fat Pokemon Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 First, my close encounter with Ike during my Duna mission, I had just enough time to boost myself to go right ove the top of it, with literally only a 100 or so meters.http://imgur.com/zF5qW,LkwIA#1And this is just some screenshot that I like a lot http://imgur.com/zF5qW,LkwIA#0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatisthisidonteven Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Just landed on Laythe in my first mission to Jool, captured this awesome sight.Jool and its moons are probably by far the most interesting things in KSP right now.

Bluekommeh Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 How do you even FIND the screenshots?? I looked all over the KSP folder, hell I looked all over WINDOWS and could not find my screenshots OR my player profile. I know these folders were re-organized, but where do I find them?

Tommygun Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 You should have a file labeled Screenshots in the KSP_win folder under the saves folder if you have them listed in alphabetical order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
