im having a problem where i right click the heat sheild and it only says jettison im trying to do a quest

Hello @killamonjaru - steam name and welcome to the KSP forums.

The option to jettison the heat shield is usually the only option for all but one of the heat shields in the stock game. They are intended to be ablative tiles fixed to the underside of a capsule, covering only the limited surface area of their diameter, and can be discarded after reentry. Only the ten-meter inflatable heat shield has the option to inflate to expand to a larger size.

What other options were you hoping to find?

Keep the contract tab open to see the exact moment where the the conditions are met 100%, THEN right click on the shield and press the new button that will appear.

When he said he was on a "quest" I wasn't thinking about contracts, but that makes sense.

@killamonjaru - steam name If the "Run Test" button isn't showing up then you may be using the wrong size heat shield from what the contract is asking for. Or, some contracts ask for parts to "activate from the staging sequence." This means that you would have to stage it like a decoupler at just the right time. But to do that you'd have to make sure that the staging is set to "enabled" in the VAB. Other contracts only need to be tested from the launch pad or after splash down.

Can you give us the exact text of the contract, and all its conditions?
