I see. Though I meant in the future, with the added moons and things?

If Moons of Eeloo is installed in conjunction with RevSS and OPM, what will happen to Alu; will it be removed or become a moon of the gas giants/become a centaur? And also, if you haven't yet, please check the PlanPakX forum page.

You forgot the fuel tank. I send a mission to Sarnus to explore it and its moons Hale, Ovok, Mimoine, Encethies, Derite, Slate, Tekto, and Gobe, using a Jool gravity assist and with outfitted with an atmospheric probe and Tekto lander.

[WIP] [Kopernicus] Planet Pack X [0.01 Released]
Interplanet Janet replied to Whirligig Girl's topic in KSP1 Mod Development
If OPM and PPX are installed, what will happen to Gobe? Will it be Sarnus' or Odo's moon? -
No mission, no way to destroy. I send a probe to Urlum using an EKKJGA, with an atmospheric probe and a Wal lander.
-
...which sends it to a gravity assist trajectory to Moho, impacting it. I use Moho to send it back to Eve, and then back to Kerbin.
-
The capsule explodes out of nowhere, just standing still. I send a circumnavigating rover to Gilly.
-
Being that it's so hard to plan an encounter, it never comes close to it. Then I guess we'll return to Kerbin...
-
It instead soft-lands on Duna. I try a Jool-9 challenge (Kev, Ameli, Volkin, Vall, Tylo, Klip, Bop, Gobe, Pol).

Solar System Supreme (SSS)
Interplanet Janet replied to Interplanet Janet's topic in KSP1 Mod Development
You know what? I'm just adding only a couple of the bodies, and it will be compatible with Xen's Planet Collection, RevSS, and IPM/OPM. For starters, Onor and Yuppo, a binary NKO in a little more than a resonance with Kerbin, kinda unstable even. Principia's installation will have its orbit slowly change until it makes a close Kerbin encounter. Onor would be slightly smaller than Hale and Yuppo will be a tenth of Onor's size, and a hundredth of its mass. Thus, you will be able to easily land on Yuppo and Onor using an EVA pack, or simply even RCS. Pike and Dike will be moons of Duna, semi-analogous to Phobos and Deimos, respectively. Pike will orbit within Ike's orbit, and if XPC is installed, will be in a location just outside the rings. Dike will orbit beyond Ike, often subject to transits. Pike will be one of the brightest moons in the game, while Dike would be one of the darkest. Pike's size would be a bit larger than Hale and Dike's a little smaller. Usta would be a hybrid Vesta-Pallas analog; a highly-inclined asteroid that will require Jool's gravity to get to because of the tilt. It will be an interesting asteroid with craters up to wazoo, including a giant crater that practically covers half the planet. It would be 1/2 the size of Dres but 2/3 the mass, and have a bluish color scheme. Klip would be the largest moon of Jool, between the sizes of Duna and revamped Tylo. However, it still wouldn't be the most massive, only being a little more massive than Vall. It looks similar to the starfield in the game, thus explaining why its discovery was so late; they thought it was a hole in Jool and only was discovered as a moon after it made a rare eclipse of Tylo. Pocc is going to be the innermost moon of Neidon, a Proteus analog; it would possibly be the most common destination of Neidon's moons considering that it's like a break from the hardness of Thatmo and Nissee. Its size would be larger than that of Nissee, but no larger than Bop. Naal orbits in a 7:12 resonance with Neidon, and was in fact an early name for the planet before it was officially named. It looks like an upsized, more extreme Ovok, and rotates with a period of 12 minutes, the fastest of any body in the game, stretching it into a triaxial ellipsoid. It has relatively few craters considering its huge rotation speed, and the ones that actually did impact it are smeared across the body. Its smallest radius would be that of Bop, mean of Khato, and largest of Mun.- 40 replies

Of course, they're traveling so fast that what little fuel they have is quickly depleted. I send an orbiter to Duna which will explore Pike, Ike, Nyke, and Dike as its moons.
-
The two stars' tidal forces tear it apart. I make two Voyager-style missions; one to fly by Jool, Sarnus, and Plock-Khato, and the other to fly by Jool, Urlum, Neidon, and Naal (a Haumea analog for the Kerbol System).
-
Hey, did you notice that Kev (and possibly Ameli) is below synchronous orbit radius, meaning that it will slowly be pulled toward Jool until it crashes into it?

The United Nation Of Kerbin Agency (UNOKA)

oh... oh dear! -
Hey, I've been thinking about a little conjunction between my possible mod SSS and Xen's planet collection. I thought that maybe Ike, Nyke, Pike, and Dike can all be named after sodas by the Duna Cola Company (or vice versa). If so, I made some logos for each of the branches and drinks. http://imgur.com/v6IodVw Also, for details... Pike would be like Phobos, orbiting within Ike and Nyke, and being quarter the size of Gilly (7.5 km vs. 26). It would be one of the darkest moons ever, and make periodic transits of Ike and Nyke, and rarely Dike. Pike would also orbit just outside the rings, being the largest surviving fragment of the moon that became its rings. Dike would be more like Deimos and orbiting without (beyond) Ike and Nyke, 2/3 the size of Pike. The brightest moon, it would often be occulted by Ike and Nyke, rarely by Pike. It would orbit in a 1:4 resonance with Pike, depending on where Pike would be.

If you have OPM installed, you can do a Cassini-like mission. Then you get an Eve mission, a Jool mission, and a Sarnus mission all in one! EKKJ, EEKJ, KJ, J, K are my recommended gravity assists.

Interplanetary Gravity Assist

Yeah...I saw the date. But if they didn't, I gave them the answer. -
Interplanetary Gravity Assist
Interplanet Janet replied to Bagel's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
Yes, it takes less Delta-V to get into a 1:1 resonance with Kerbin than to get to Duna, but your trajectory will only have a prograde/retrograde component, no radial. A 1:2 resonance and a DSM (Deep Space Manouevre) waste more fuel. -

Will it be possible to release Volkin as a standalone body?
