Life On The Frozen Moon

[oguz]

Mission requirements;

• One mobile rover-base to stay on Titan
• One orbital station to orbit Titan
• 4 Satellites to orbit around Titan and create communication coverage on Titan
• One rocket to be sent and landed on Titan for crew to get back to the Titan orbit after mission ended

Orbit station is getting ready to go

Spoiler

 

Everything seems nice so far!

Spoiler

 

See you later, Earth

Spoiler

 

Needs so much DeltaV, hopefully second stage will do the job

Spoiler

 

Crew looks at Earth last time for a long time period.

Spoiler

 

Rescue rocket to be sent to Titan

Spoiler

 

Rescue rocket's second stage

Spoiler

 

Catch ya!

Spoiler

 

All 4 rockets run to Saturn side by side

Spoiler

 

Nearly 1 year passed after leaving Earth's orbit

Spoiler

 

Crew seems happy

Spoiler

 

Biiig big space, but not empty at all

Spoiler

 

Here is Saturn!

Spoiler

 

After 7 long years, we are close to reach Saturn. Making maneuvras to reach Titan.

Spoiler

 

Rocket that carries Rover-Base, is fixing it's direction towards Titan

Spoiler

 

Fixing other rockets' orbits (Orbital Station, Rescue Rocket, Satellites)

Spoiler

 

Cool shot from Rescue Rocket carrier Rocket, making correction burn

Spoiler

 

Orbital Station's carrier rocket is the first rocket out of 4 rockets who arrived Titan Orbit first!

Spoiler

 

Time to orbit Titan

Spoiler

 

A cool shot from orbital station's cockpit

Spoiler

 

A rocket that carries satellites arrived! Time to orbit

Spoiler

 

A rocket that carries rescue rocket arrived as well!

Spoiler

 

Putting satellites on orbit

Spoiler

 

A rocket that carries mobile rover-base arrived Titan's orbit as well

Spoiler

 

That's it boys, rover is going down on Titan, right now!

Spoiler

 

Flying car weeeeee

Spoiler

 

Weird glitches. Well ksp version 1.3, RSS version 1.2.2, scatterer version 0.300 soo.. i expect glitches

Spoiler

 

What are they o.O Are there trees on Titan?

Spoiler

 

They are getting smaler when we gets closer..

Spoiler

 

Time to chute

Spoiler

 

It was a VERY VERY SLOW trip, we are getting there boi!

Spoiler

 

And rover is landed

Spoiler

 

There is no crew yet on rover, but luckily it has it's own control computer! And i found a rock! First time i saw a rock on Titan ever on KSP  Btw i broke my antenna..

Spoiler

 

That's how rover gets electricity (There is very little sun-light together with 8 days long night time, so nuclear activity was the best choice..)

Spoiler

 

I didn't plan to bring Engineer down here, but to fix this antenna, i would change my plan

Spoiler

 

Meanwhile in orbital station, crew is getting ready for leaving station to go on Titan's surface

Spoiler

 

I use Alcor pod as a lander pod

Spoiler

 

For one reason, i cannot move kerbals within parts so i needed to EVA mission to exchange my crew (because i need one Engineer down there to repair antenna so plans are changed!)

Spoiler

 

Jeb's crews, Lisman and Dedorf ladies, they look happy.

Spoiler

 

Station's crew looks meh

Spoiler

 

Making preparations for leaving station

Spoiler

 

Time to go!

Spoiler

 

Maneuvras.. Btw that black bottom is not a heat shield, it is a fuel tank. Titan's atmosphere is like a pillow, so you don't actually need a heat shield unless you plan to direct hit on Titan with 20k DeltaV.

Spoiler

 

Okay enough talking

Spoiler

 

Crew looks incredibly happy

Spoiler

 

This would make the job

Spoiler

 

Or not... 55km off of the target  

Spoiler

 

Chutes.. It takes forever to land. I cannot move Kerbals one by one to the rover, so it makes more sense to mov rover to crew!

Spoiler

 

After literally one hour, rover-base finally reached the crew!

Spoiler

 

Lets get into your new house for few years, kerbals

Spoiler

 

I don't like the geography, i want to park my rover-base next to one lake (methane lake). 120km to go.

Spoiler

 

Reached the area where rover-base landed on (55km back). Separate part can be seen on the ground which separated chute and rover. 65km more to go.

Spoiler

 

Glitch, if you fall down, you ded (fell one time)

Spoiler

 

Finally i found one cute methane lake after 120km (took 2 hours), parked next to it

Spoiler

 

Crew deserves to get one break to hang out (btw somehow engineer couldnt repair antenna, anyone know why? instead i mistakenly exploded it  )

Spoiler

 

Night time on Titan

Spoiler

 

90 degree top angle from the rover, amazing view

Spoiler

 

Sky from rover's cockpit

Spoiler

 

See you in next mission while my kerbals hanging out! Next mission will be landing rescue rocket on Titan from Titan's orbit, and then carrying crew to the orbit station.
