My Random Visit To Jool (LOTS OF IMAGES)


StupidAndy

Recommended Posts

so today I wanted to go to Jool, so I built a probe and went there

good day, no more info, that's all you need!

okay FINE YOU CAN HAVE YOUR PICTURES!

Behold! Joolo I! a masterpiece, with the NERV as the main engine, and the main rocket having enough DV to get this to orbit!

Joolo I accidentally dropped into the atmosphere and we had to make a new one, looks like a Delta IV Heavy, this is a very basic rocket, I think around 13 parts for the entire booster, so no lag inducing!

it flies really goodly, but I hit the launch clamps on the way up so it did something to the ascent

D9Nl1Pn.png

it actually has good gimballing, so NO FINS FOR YOU! I don't know what that is from, the internet?

cNSrsOs.png

it has so much DV that if the asparagus staging doesn't count as a stage I have a SSTO! so I get to have the entire second stage as my transfer stage! no filthy 3 stage rockets!

you can see Joolo I, but I left it mid atmospheric flight so it isn't of any use to us

FIXJNhw.png

for some reason the first stage got ahead of us, this is it flying past us

and TRANSFER BEGIN!

TRANSFER CONTINUE!

NERV STAGE TRANSFER CONTINUE!

and transfer end!

KERBIN?

KERBIIIIIIIIIIIIN??

KERBIN WHERE DID YOU GOOOOOO?!?!?!?!?

WHERE DID KERBIN GO?

were pretty high up, I wonder what would happen if the sun suddenly had an atmosphere...? no this didn't start out as a reference to your mod, but sure, why couldn't it end up as one @sambelanger?

I think you can see Jool in this picture

"Hey, uhh guys, what's that small green splotch in the distance?"

m1Ik57a.png

"Guys, the splotch is getting bigger!"

kseyK0G.png

"GUYS THE SPLOTCH IS PRETTY BIG NOW

IwRl951.png

"THAT IS ONE BIG SPLOTCH!!"

43LedZz.png

"okay, you guys should really be able to see the splotch now, I think the splotch has some orbiting orbs..."

FC6An7u.png

"the splotch is my target? whos stupid idea was that? its only green! that's all you need to know!"

g7we7mK.png

"this splotch is pretty big, okay FINE, I'll call it JOOL!!"

gyeX9x1.png

"hey I can see a blue moon! I'll name it Joe!''

Nu19Osr.png

starting the insertion burn, we've had enough of the speaking probe!

8Y262a7.png

extremely loose orbit, but YAY! ORBIT!

IH691yW.png

I think that there is some moons in this picture

u3hi6L7.png

the problem with the extremely loose orbit is that it takes FOREVER to do anything

inclination burn for our 3 main targets! Laythe, Vall, and Tylo!

BxL6Fy2.png

this isn't my first time going to Jool, but the other time was about 6 months ago, and I now have a brain for doing this

5f3Kn9d.png

3200m/s at periapsis, and around 150m/s at apoapsis, a kind of big difference

ICQDtjW.png

Vall encounter! hooray!

YILCQfU.png

look at it! very low! so low! NOT LOW ENOUGH!

wOOKOYb.png

interestingly enough, the entire mission so far was done without Val's knowledge, up until this photo, Val walked in as we got this photo, and now she is on the Launchpad about to go to Jool herself. we should go stop her...

ritMIYv.png

pretty pictures...

jrNHccn.png

its big...and blueish...

UditmXy.png

AAAHHH!! TOO BIG!! TOO BIG!!!

0VLALJh.png

getting closer to Periapsis!

0v1U72J.png

I wonder if those patches of darker blue are like Minmus' flats, it would make a good place for a base! if I could make bases...

okay little microbes that hitchhiked, if you look out your left side, you will see a planet covering your entire view, if you look out your right side, you will see barren space

jgIcLJ8.png

here is a picture of Jool, a tad bit obstructed

ksNJXb1.png

ahh, there's our friend Jool!

mSCVFTk.png

currently the mission is around T+3 years 144 days, so it takes a bit of time to get to Jool

our next victim is in our sights, Laythe, HOW DARE THEY TRY TO COPY KERBIN, GLORY TO KERBIN!!!

welcome to Orbital Mechanics 101, our first lesson, this mess:

OeSGUZ3.png

hi laythe!!

7qgwf0v.png

we're going to get you!!

9PWBBRz.png

this is pretty, I might be one of the only ones but I like the stock visuals (mostly because I cant get the graphic mods to work...)

SmkoR8n.png

LOOK AT THE STOCK GRAPHICS UNTIL IT LOOKS BETTER IN YOUR EYES!!

hey, aren't there supposed to be islands on this planet?

A8Cy8ox.png

hello? islands? HELLOOOO?

ZXfSMOW.png

ahh, there they are!

T8ZukIH.png

I'll name the lowest one Joeland, the trapezoid Trapezoidberg, and the other two are Island Chain 1 and 2

f2nrmZi.png

BYE LAYTHE!

aS18Qd7.png

and with this mess, I'll stop here, I still have 3/5 moons to go to, and I have no idea how to inclination, I think I have around 3000-7000DV remaining (I asparagused the exo probe tanks) so I could get the inclination with brute force, or I could use Tylo, which I still have to go to
