the apollostyle mun mission is always a joy I have flown this a few weeks prior to the challange. https://youtu.be/ISoiVnRHHzA i was using my kOS Skript for landing. It uses the distance to ground and the speed, but unfortunately it makes the mission invalid under this challanges point system. wanted to share it anyway.

fun challenge here is my try:

The idea sounds fun. Just finished the assembly in orbit. http://imgur.com/a/CKuMT

It took me a while to see the beauty in this challenge. I set up 149 satellites at an inclination difference of one degree. But I lacked the patience sitting it through, without mods. Thats why most of the flying was done by KOS scripts. Come and see: https://youtu.be/-aaycdsK_1k

The mission is a hack of a ride.... https://youtu.be/rSTUiGAPF0E It took 1.510.882 kerbal bucks including fuel to build the system on the pad. Some parts were lost on reentry and landing. 104 Kerbals joined the trip and returned home at fuel cost of 1.640 bucks per Kerbal.

Using the Juno is about small ships/planes/drones, well at least for me it is. So I did not put a Kerbal in my vessel. And reached a final speed of 777m/s with only 5 junos. Here is my attempt: https://youtu.be/J211d_mRJdw The missing Kerbal should disqualify this as valid entry. But it is too cute not to share it…

The first ripples of an arising dispute between Experimental and Integrated Integrals are shaking kerbins science community. Integrated Integrals is insisting that time is continuous and can be divided into infinitely small timespans. While Experimental is claiming to have prove that time progresses in small packages. They call it Klanck time. It was painfully clear that this conflict had to be resolved as fast as possible. Your mission is to design and run an Experiment that proves which side is right and wrong. You may use all the mods and cheat menus you like, as long as no physics is influenced. Submissions will be “published” if the concept is new, or if the experiment shows a more significant difference between both models of time. Please don’t give the answer without giving the prove!

This is an interesting mission to recreate. I really enjoyed crating the automated solar panels with kOS. The robot arm to extract a probe was fun too. I had to use infinite electric Charge at many points due to not properly adjusted solar panels. Some config files setting are different from standard. (The dish range to 30 Gm and the weight of steel plates to 7.5 kg / m^2). Without doing all the homework prior to the mission, I flew this: https://youtu.be/oCXegq3YlBU There are still many bugs in my code, after struggling with the simplified (KSP) version of the mission, one learns to appreciate how much the profiles have to think things through.

It’s time for a Jool 5. I designed every Stage and lander with way more dv then needed. There were specialised Landers for every moon. (Vall and Bop had the same design). Except for the Tylo-Lander there was a rescue concept. One Kerbal is landed on every moon Because I brought a communication satellite network for every moon of the Jool system, the order got a little messy. Without Kerbal Arlam Clock it would have been impossible. Some parts might be too fast for an enjoyable video so don’t watch if you have Epilepsy! Come and see:https://youtu.be/6qkvdn22RyQ - Which game versions did you use? 1.1.3.1289(x64) - What mods did you use, if any? kOS, Kerbal Arlam Clock, RemoteTech, Kerbal Engineer Redux - How many Kerbals are on the mission? 11 only 5 landed on the moons - How many launches were needed to start your mission from Kerbin? Just one - How much did your mission cost? 4.342.590 but a significant part of that is the cost for Pu238 - Did you needed a refuelling mission? No i did not. - Did you bring additional stuff like satellites, rovers, etc? A satellite network for every moon, One backup lander (but that one was destroyed by a “software” bug) - Share the delta-V information too, if you tracked it! I did not track it

An excuse to bring a space plane to orbit. I am so doing the challange. The second try worked (the first had a rather hard landing in the wrong place). I put 1050 LF and 770 Ox in the plane and came home with 107 Ox after reaching a 76.8x 75.4 km orbit. The flight path is not optimised yet. The crew roster is missing the proof that jeb is back seating is when he exits the plane.

I messed up the mobility enhancer, so had to hack gravity to get back on bord. And i was 800 m /s short for an low Laythe orbit. apart from that it was 3 hours well spend.

Not realy progress (the Jimmer would just need ro drain the fuel bevor lunch to beet my 9.415t's) But it was fun. - - - Updated - - - Well not really progress, but it was fun doing it. 9.415t MK2 single RAPIER Design.
