a garish tree, a porcupine, and absolutely not an albatross: a Jool 5 science challenge
So there I was, looking for a challenge, when I found this under the Jool 5 challenge
Well, looks like this will involve a lot of roving around the surface to get to all the biomes, and I like rovers, so I decided to give it a try.
Objective: gather every single science point possible from the Jool system
Part 1: mission design
1A: rover
I will need something to get to Jool's inner atmosphere, and some kind of rover for the various planets, and probably some kind of or
Part 4: soaring quite unlike an albatross
From now on, I've been using my three vehicles simultaneously, swapping from one to the other whenever there was a pause. For practicity, I'll present them one at a time, starting with Not Albatross because it was the first to finish its targets.
4A: inside Jool
It took a loooong time aerobraking, but eventually I shed enough speed. I discovered that the conditions to survive a Jool reentry are quite strict, and a slightly wrong trajectory
