KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM

Also known as how to perfectly crash.

 

Kerbals, the only sapient life in the Kerbol System, have decided that telescopes on Kerbin are not enough, and are launching a space program!

LOG 1 - SCIENCE HAVE ACHIEVED FLIGHT

At 0:00 Kerbin time,  Wernher Von Kerman reported that Science 1, a small capsule attached to a booster, with a can of unknown content, and topped of with a parachute, was completely ready to launch. It would wait for two hours before launching at nighttime.

 

Finally, at 2:00 Kerbin time, the craft was rolled out to the launchpad. It was operated by pilot Jebediah Kerman.

 

 

Jebediah pressed the staging button, and it took off, tilting north due to the drag of the container of unknown content.

 

 

After the booster ran out of fuel, he proceeded to observe the unknown content in the container, and create a report of his situation.

 

 

He would then press the staging button again, deploying the orange and white parachute.

 

 

Finally, he would land off the coast of where the Kerbal Space Center is located.

 

 

Science 2 is expected to launch next week, packing more power and science.

Yey! Nice to see a fellow PS4 KSPer submitting their mission reports.  I look forward to seeing more.

GENE KERMAN- SCIENCE 2 & THE FUTURE

Hello Kerbals, 

Jebediah, one of our pilots, brought up a question about the future for the space program, and how we will advance from not even coming close to space to setting up colonies on Duna¹. Despite our first launch not reaching space, we are not far off from piercing the atmosphere, or even flying to the Mun as we seem.  I talked to Wernher, our head scientist, and he said that we should be expecting Science 2 to reach space, which will create if not the most, than one of the most important events kerbalkind has achieved. He also provided me a basic road map of what missions are expected to happen in the nearby future²:

 

Science 2 - To be launched next month (@2:00 1/1/0), expected to reach space.

 

Science 3 - Expected launch date will take place two months (estimated 2/1/0) from now, may be shifted to other date. Expected to complete a semicircular sub-orbit, and gather EVA reports from space.

 

Lift 1 - Launch date unknown. First plane designed by the program., it is expected to gather data about the lower and possibly upper atmosphere. 

 

Science 4 -  Launch date unknown. Planned to reach orbit, and deliver first part of Science.

 

Science -  A space station that is to be launched with Science 4. Expected to be Kerbin's first artificial satellite. 

 

1 - We are not officially confirming colonies on Duna.

2 - Road map may change depending on events that happen in between now and the future. Does NOT confirm these missions for 100%.

I like that road map. Its always good to have a plan on hand .

GENE KERMAN - SCIENCE 2 DELAYED. SPACE STATION AGREEMENT WITH JKJSP

Hello Kerbals,

Science 2 has been postponed to 1/2/0 due to weather in the upper atmosphere. We considered launching from Baikobanur, but decided not to ruin the exact launch time of day. In other news, The Science space station will be built by Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spacecraft Parts Co., after I talked to the owner and pilot, Jebediah Kerman, about the station. That is all for today, expect the launch tomorrow!

EDIT/UPDATE: The mission report (with an extra surprise!) will be created tomorrow. For a little teaser, we earned over 50 science points thanks to Gene's (my) greediness.
