On which planet did you Aerobrake for your 1st time?

[Sirine]

Eve, 1st heard about Aerobrake, and I'm at Eve SOI. So, F5, and did it.

[Epthelyn]

Duna, because Duna was the first planet with an atmosphere that I visited. Kerbin doesn't count, I aerobraked in Kerbin's atmosphere about a million times before getting out of the SoI

[leax256]

it's not too often I get to use this one. not quite first

[zxczxczbfg]

Well, it was just today in fact. I sent up Jeb in a small pod, then set it on a barely-suborbital path, EVA'd Jeb, used KAS to grab a parachute and deploy it while still grabbed, drifted on EVA for awhile. Followed by a quadruple aerobrake. The atmosphere didn't quite kill enough velocity, and I just arced out of the atmosphere and aerobraked again. I wonder if it still counts as B.A.S.E. jumping if it's from an orbiting spacecraft.

[panfish5]

My first aerobrake was at Eve where I was delivering a base and I didn't have much fuel left at all so I tried it and it miraculously worked.

[Levelord]

The heat shield was actually meant for Kerbol, but it probably works fine on Jool too.

[Lundmunchkins]

Jool, and it was WILD

[borisvolodnikov]

Kerbin, of course!

[Jason Cox]

Jool. And since I did it before discovering the Aerobraking Calculator, it took a few aerobraking orbits to get my apoapsis down to where I wanted it.

[Kerbol Prime]

Kerbin was first. All the time too.

Other than that, Duna.

Oh and don't forget good ol' kerbin.

[Superfluous J]

This should be a poll. And as pointed out it should be worded to include "...without immediately landing on the surface" and probably "intentionally".

My first aerobrake was on Kerbin, during my first flight that made it out of the atmosphere.

My first aerobrake without immediately landing on the surface was also Kerbin, because I grossly overestimated how far up I needed to be to brake and land. I skipped off the atmosphere and went back out for a few more orbits before landing.

My first aerobrake while intentionally not landing on the surface was Duna. I braked there to land on Ike.

[NoPanShabuShabu]

It's easy to say "Kerbin", but I don't think I actually aerobraked there first, more like re-entered.

My first aerobrake maneuver was actually Jool. Jeb, Bob, and Bill were testing out using nuclear rockets for deep space voyaging and were going to orbit some and return. Anyway, it *didn't* end well.

2nd was at Duna. Also an orbit and return mission. It *didn't* end well either, although everyone survived. Rescue mission was exciting, and the rescue the rescue mission was even more exciting!

3rd was Eve... With a sweet return ship. It *didn't* end well... A pattern?

[alacrity]

first time i used aerobraking was an ill planned trip to jool. I need fuel for transfer burns to the moons, but knew I had not enough....enter Jool...

i found an altitude in the atmo that clung me out to tycho and shaved about half my velocity.

alacrity

[kookoo_gr]

Jool, it was my first interplanetary mission and was aiming for Bop to find the Kraken. I was reading on the forums for aerobraking and thought to myself let's try it. The capture was a success and i had an encounter with Bop after a small correction. After that Eve and lastly Duna. The most scary one was Duna due to the low altitude

[Jacob01]

Duna. I didn't go low enough and a proper orbit wasn't reached. But it didn't really matter as I had enough fuel to enter orbit anyway.

[SpaceSphereOfDeath]

Kerbin, Duna, Jool, eve, Moho and laythe in that order

[SlyReaper]

Jool, when I wanted to get an

. Gave myself an epic facepalm later when I realised it would have been more efficient to just aerobrake on Laythe itself. Edited November 2, 2013 by SlyReaper

[Johnman]

I tried to go to Jool and do a Space Odyssey style aerobrake, but I failed to get there. I did it on Duna instead.

[johnnyhandsome]

It was Jool and it was so awesome, I took pictures through the whole nail

biting experience.

Then I crashed on Laythe.

[JiWint]

No need to lie,Kerbin.Everyone first aerobraked on kerbin while returing back from mission

It was Jool and it was so awesome, I took pictures through the whole nail

biting experience.

-huge snip-

Then I crashed on Laythe.

Next time use imgur album

[LtHeckard]

That was a nice Aerobrake, it's a darn shame that you crashed on Laythe.

[DChurchill]

Jool. I wasn't sure I had enough dV to get home, so I decided to try it.

[fatfluffycat]

Kerbin, Duna, Jool, eve, Moho and laythe in that order

Moho? How......

My first was Kerbin

[Spica]

Moho used to have an atmosphere. It overheated your parts like crazy. That was back in 0.17 though.

[Merinsan]

Apart from Kerbin, mine was Eve. I just liked the color of it.
