(I might need it for my Sheep v3) I used enough autostrut to stretch around Gilly lol. I'm excited for Sheep v3 @jinnantonix Amazing submission, everything about it was great. I don't have the time currently to formally congratulate you, but I will later today, so I will then. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManEatingApe Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) The primitive Jool 5 started here and continued with Tylo and Laythe missions, concludes with these 2 videos. First up is a Vall, Bop & Pol triple combo: The video begins with Vall, landing at 0:35. Bop begins at 3:10. This mission was a little more tricky than anticipated and needed a Tylo gravity assist (at 4:45) to rendezvous with the mothership. Pol starts at 5:50. Unintentional hilarity ensues when the ship begins rolling away at 6:40 Next is the Kerbin return journey. This was a lot of fun! Re-entry begins around 1:50 6 Kerbal formation skydiving at 2:50 To meet the basic Level 3 requirements, 6 Kerbals total went to the Jool system, 5 landing one each on a different moon. For Jebediah's level 17008 science gross was recovered (at 3:50 in the video). Subtracting 136 collected from Kerbol and 340 gathered from Eve gives 16,532 science net gathered from the Jool system.

jinnantonix Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Thanks @JacobJHC For some time now, I have been wanting to do a major mission with artificial gravity (centrifugal force craft spin) included. I was inspired by the craft design Life One which I saw in a movie called Astronaut: The Last Push . With the Kerpollo challenge it made a lot of sense, as we all know Werner von Kerman cares for the health of his “Kerbal occupants”. I also wanted an opportunity to do Jool-5 level 3, as my previous Jool-5 Jeb level attempt collected a lot of science, but did not take enough Kerbals to qualify (still kicking myself about that). I wanted to do this latest mission at Jeb level, but the Kerpollo challenge rules only allow landing at one biome on the planet surface. So now I am designing another Jool-5 mission, with a multi-purpose SSTO spaceplane similar to the Eve Science Challenge , with the intent of visiting every biome in the Jool system, and a science tally that will be a real challenge to beat. Question: is it against the rules to use Mechjeb for the Jool moon piloting? It would be useful to maintain craft stability allowing warp when flying between biomes, and so reduce game time.J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Also is it normal to see a bunch of "Nyan Cats" while starting KSP, i placed OBS in the folder where i placed all my KSPs) Edited February 22, 2019 by GRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobJHC Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 @jinnantonix Congrats on finishing the Jool 5 challenge on level 1! The centrifuge was an amazing touch. I'll add you to the leader-board now. @ManEatingApe Congrats on completing the Jool 5 Challenge on Jeb's level. 17,008 science in one mission, especially with the part restrictions is hard to fathom. Likewise, your craft is one of if not the most interesting in appearance. Congrats on this thread's second Jeb's Level submission! @jinnantonix Congrats on finishing the Jool 5 challenge on level 3!

You Laythe lander is the most unique I've seen in a while. Most are spaceplanes, but a floating platform is something I haven't seen in a while. Your Tylo rover was another feat of engineering. Did you circumnavigate Tylo? Also (how??) the amount of recovered science has shattered the last record of most recorded science by over 22.5 thousand science points. It is double the previous record. This is amazing. Bravo! Bravo! Adding you to the leader board now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is double the previous record. This is amazing. Bravo! Bravo! Adding you to the leader board now. Hey awesome thanks! And thanks a bunch for all the work you do maintaining this great challenge! The floating platform was born out of my own laziness mostly ha ha. I've had major troubles landing planes on the rough rolling dunes before, and I find it impossible to hit the small islands reliably with a regular lander. Then, of course, once I built the floating platform my first attempt hit an island without me trying to! The side bonus of course, was being able to reuse the upper stage as my Tylo ascent stage, then the Vall/Bop/Pol lander. To save weight, I used the Jr docking ports. But made sure to adjust some of the Tylo lower stage tanks, and the support beams on the floating platform so that the little landing gear on the upper stage could be deployed and rest on them for additional support. It seemed to work well holding it together. The rover was honestly more a feat of sheer patience than engineering. While it certainly felt like I was driving long enough to circumnavigate it, the actual distance traveled on Tylo by the rover was about 240 km or so. I landed on the equator north of the Tycho crater, landing in the Midlands, drove about 20 km southeast until I hit the Lowlands, then straight south through the Highlands, one of the Minor craters, and finally just to the northmost tip of the Tycho crater. After that, drove back north. The only thing I can think of for the amount of science I managed to grab, is that I hit 5 biomes on Tylo, and another 4 on Laythe. Also, I grabbed two sets of some of the experiments when I could. So I brought home duplicates of the materials bay, mystery goo, and surface samples to max out their science.
