Another Way of Doing Things. . . (a KerBinary Mission report) (It's over)

[TRAPPIST-1E]

Before we start, I'd like to thank myself for making the mod I will be using, KerBinary. It's really excellent and I hope you check it out. Also I am playing on Rescale 2x. Enjoy!

CHAPTER 1: Intro and stuff

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, everything has to start somewhere, and here, like most other KSP games, I started out with a simple sounding rocket, the Safe 'n Sound 1

Isn't she a Beauty?

Unfortunately, the parachute was deployed in flight. Still got 72 whole science points!!!

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Since I am using BARIS, i want to do some Testing

Spoiler

Not THAT kind of testing, Jeb!

Sigh. . . .  Later.

oooOOOOOoooh! Can't wait to see how this progesses.

[TRAPPIST-1E]

I'm going to remove BARIS

CHAPTER 2: Space is the place

__________________________________________________________

We start off with a new rocket, the Safe 'n Sound 2. It's a big upgrade from the first rocket, and cound probably reach orbit with an upper stage.

GAS GAS GAS

Beautiful from up here, huh.

Back to Kerba Firma again, after nearly disintegrating. By the way, I had no control over the rocket at all the whole time

All in all, a successful mission. 82 science points, too!

Now for crew

CHAPTER 2 1/2

____________________

Say Hello to the SHTICK mk1, the KSP's first crewed vehicle

Uhg. Does it have to look like that?

-Engineer's Comment: No, but we wanted to upset Administration by making it look Horrible.

ABORT, ABORT!!!!

-Administrators Comment: Those Lazy engineers, always forgetting stuff. Seriously, no control scheme. We should fire them on the spot!!

 

Sigh . . . . broken rockets and infighting. Will we ever have success?

[Vagrant203]

If Engineering is causing problems, Science or Pilot Div might be able to refocus them.

[TRAPPIST-1E]

Well, seeing as the science Dept. is mainly unpaid college students, and the astronaut corps  consists of just jeb and vall, probably not.

[TRAPPIST-1E]

CHAPTER 3: Nothing's Working!

_______________________________________

We Start off with the first, and probably only flight of this chapter, Horizons 1.

It's the KSP's second attempt at crewed flight, and this time it looks sensible

-Engineers Comment: Well, we had to after Admin threatened our jobs

Ignition! Of the SRB lower stage

Stage separation

Burning hot

Gosh darn it! Stupid part limits

Jeb is sad

The reentry has problems with oscillations. Luckily, nothing came of them

Safe in the water (even the capsule looks sad)

 

All in all, a sort of failure. Jeb went to space, but not to orbit.

-Administrations comment: Why didn't we build a bigger rocket? Where are the Moar Boosters!

-Rnd's Comment: Not our fault! It was engineering!

-Engineering's Comment: It was the financial dept.!

-Financial Dept.'s Comment: We dont have the money to upgrade our buildings! We spent it all on cheese!

-Everyone's Comment: Then who spent the money!

-Jeb's Comment: Ummmmmmmm . . . . .

 

 

 

 

Also, i'm sorry about the shorter chapters, especially compared to other mission reports. The length of the chapter just tends to coincide with the amount of KSP I play a day

CHAPTER 4: Building, Flying, Dreaming!

___________________________________________________

Boys, This is gonna be a big one

 

The Crewed Orbit program is going well, with the introduction of a new rocket, the New Horizons

You know how it goes

<Insert build fly dream music>

All in all, a fully successful mission

Jeb went to space

Science was gained

And I forgot to take screenshots of the time in space.

 

Now, we do some probe stuff.

Behold, the Horizons 3

I forgot to take screenshots of the launch, as I had no SAS and it was quite hard

\

Science was got, blah blah blah, cool satellite

 

I needed money, so decided to take a contract to test an engine. The deployment thing for space is the satellite but without much in it.

The LV is just New Horizons minus boosters

Deploying engine

Now defunct, the empty cargo bay drifts through space

 

Oh, and I messed around with planes a bit

Spoiler

Below: an earlier iteration

All in all, a good day for the KSP.

[jimmymcgoochie]

That plane looks strangely familiar…

Spoiler

I guess there are only so many ways you can convert a Blue Steel rocket plane to jet power 

 

[TRAPPIST-1E]

I tried to differentiate them, but I didn't have the bigger cockpits

 

And about the other rocket designs, that's just an example of convergent evolution

CHAPTER 5: I'M BACK, BABY!

_______________________________________

Just one mission today, but an important one. The space program has decided, after a long hiatus, to reach farther than LKO, to POL, Kerbins's only moon (yes i am using an indev version of KerBinary)

BEHOLD: The Pol 1

Got some nice shots

Waterfall is amazing

This is giving me Virgin Orbit vibes

Tylo, Kerbol, and Grannus in one picture

Burning for Pol

Pol flyby

Leaving Pol

Mission over, leaving Pol 1 to drift forever among the stars

Mission accomplished!

 

 

[TRAPPIST-1E]

CHAPTER 6: WE MEET AGAIN (AGAIN)

___________________________________________________

Hooh BOY, this is gonna be a big one.

 

First, we start off with a few changes to the space program. First of all, the Horizons program is being split into 2. The Horizons program is going to become exclusively crewed missions, and the new program, the Dawn program will have the unmanned ones. Also, i installed the state funding mod (using the USK).

 

This will be the first launch, an unmanned test flight of the new advanced Muun Capsule (the Muun is the mun in Kerbinary, but it's a planet)

Liftoff!

Next: we farmed some science

Now for the launch of Telecom 1 - Dawn 5. it will validate the usefulness of communication satellites in orbit. it will be the last of the Cargo Bay Satellites

Ignore the antennae

Mission accomplished!

 

Now for a Big Deal

TO TYLO

To get to Tylo, the New Horizons rocket will be in its most powerful configuration, with 3 stages and 4 boosters. Also, sorry for the lack of pictures. The mission was stressful.

At Tylo, flying by GIlly

Now the fuel is spent and the active part of the mission has ended, the passive part can now happen

All in all, a good day for the KSP

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Report on the New Horizons Launch Vehicle

The New Horizons Launch Vehicle is an incredibly configurable rocket. It has an optional 3rd stage and number of solid rocket side boosters ranging form 0 to 4. It also even has an optional fairing. The naming convention is as follows: New Horizons starts it off. Next is the number of boosters, Then the number of stages, the if it has a fairing, represented as an F or an N.Examples as follows: New Horizons 22F; New Horizons 43N; New Horizons 00F. This Has been a report on the New Horizons Launch Vehicle.

 

 

[Vagrant203]

Personally, if I bothered with a naming convention like this, I wouldn't bother tacking on an N for the variant without fairing.

Then again, I don't bother with naming like this so what do I know.

[TRAPPIST-1E]

Oh god. I just deleted the save when I was trying to reinstall ksp.

Mission report's over i guess

[jimmymcgoochie]

 Check the recycle bin?

[Maria Sirona]

[TRAPPIST-1E]

I think I am going to reboot this after I release Kerbinary version 2.0
