Now we do some fair farings and our friendly neighborhood first stage.

And we place our beautiful final stage onto our Probey Probe Probe I.

Later we'll see how she flies!

Mission Two - Probey Probe Probe II

Construction Phase

Woot!

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again.

Ah, yes. SO! Make the payload.

euhXkoK.png

All good probes need a flexible battery. So, procedural parts!

qnvxz2w.png

(the battery is the circle inside the thingy)

I have forgetting issues. But why an antenna? *sigh* -_-shxnQSS.png

All rockets will need a first stage!

And a faring for awesome :cool: probes!

GjhCnfd.png

(I wonder what the Kerbals think of that decoupler floating in the air. Bob, did you mix the red food coloring with the translucent levitation potion?!)

Nice TWR! MOAR BOOM!!

7hnV8Cj.png

Eh, to be safe let's put on a little EVEN MOAR BOOM!! (1.875, coolness!)

8OJxdIa.png

Highlighted are awesome sepatrons!

For a very clean booster sep.

And let's make the boosters its own stage. (it has 2.something TWR even without the second stage)

Woo! Let's celebrate @Fengist for making the Fengist Font Factory Mod!

Wp7PJvF.png

Finally, let's add some STYLE!

Mission Two - Probey Probe Probe II "Try Try Again"

Flight Phase Part One

Our majestic probe sits on the LaunchPad.

zbihrUJ.png

We begin.

hxPVQDD.png

And since boosters have no gimbal and I forgot fins, we travel in a straight line up for a while.

But stage sep comes soon.ZqJsRAX.png

Going up!

4O8fxwg.png

We're going to orbit! Look at dem stats! VBIlte8.png DT07ahL.png (Ap. Height 55,452m and half a tank of LF)

We go to orbit.

ULRRLL4.png

Orbit insertion is soon!

(ok I apparently forgot to take a screenie of the next phase... we got into orbit, but we still had the FIRST stage...)

Mission Two - Probey Probe Probe II "Try, Try Again" 

Flight part 2

"No, We Are Not Going to The Mun."

HoRKoPO.png

And that's why. We have plenty of extra fuel though... We're winging it. Or... finning it :P 

W7UxYp2.png

Let's have some fun.

:cool:

Let's go!

Hey, I got no time for math.

Okay, something went wrong, but luckily I ejected the first stage. Map looks like this: (yeah, I know, I'll give a proper screenie later)

After a bit, I make a new KER window:

The little rocket that could: (although engine works too)

Oh, and I made some edits to the ORBITAL panel

Aww, bye-bye second stage!

Our sat:

The battery looks kinda weird though

We're taking a break from the Probey Probe Probe line after Try, Try Again's Above and Beyond status sucess.

Mission Three - Extension Cord 1

Konstruction

The Extension Cord line will be... RELAYS!

The SSTU mod comes in handy for the probe.

424zjXd.png

Let's make the whole payload. (BOB! STOP MESSING WITH THE POTIONS!)

4sP7ztP.png

A nice second stage. (BOB, YOU KNOW YOU CAN GET FIRED!!)

dBSQMnT.png

Oh-oh! Our rocket's too big!

9LuDGE8.png

KVV to the rescue!

bKcBUZB.png

Our (yes, I consider you part of the team, without you you wouldn't be reading this mission report! That would be sad.) rocket has nice stats, if I do say so myself!

Alright, since I stupidly forgot to take the rest of the pics, suffice to say the probe will have an ABOVE AND BEYOND class mission output.

Shiny R7-Titan thing. Nice :)

@RealKerbal3x The shine is from the Textures Unlimited Stock Config Model on SpaceDock (requires Textures Unlimited)

And for the Sputnik R-7, I looked on Wikipedia. The actual R-7 was a lot shorter: see here 

Ysjyhn1.png

The whole shebang is just for looks. It probably has MUCH more rocket than needed.

Yeah, I recognised the silver textures from Textures Unlimited. I have 2 tips for your R7.

1. You should make the bottom bit of the first stage (the bit that the boosters go around) 1.25m, as that's what the real R7 (and Soyuz) rockets did. You can switch the Kodiak engine shroud to 1.25m so it fits.

Image result for soyuz booster separation

2. Can you switch to the 'white' variant in Textures Unlimited? That'd make your R7 look less like a Titan.

(Yes, I know this is a pic of Vostok but it's the same launch vehicle as Sputnik)
