NotAgain

Just one mission for now, as I have an English essay to get on with. Explorer - Matchstick IV Mission: Launch E0 Neilnand Kerman into sub-orbit on ANSEB's second crewed spaceflight. Launch Vehicle: Matchstick I In order to prove that E-M III wasn't a one-off, ANSEB have decided to fire another Kerbal into space.

One quick question: is there an adaptor for @Nertea's MK4 spaceplane parts available?

@Plecy75, it was Moons of Eeloo, one of the Xen's planet packs mods.

Hey, look! Another double bill! Smotritel - 3 Mission: Launch the Smotritel - 3 spy satellite. Launch Vehicle: R-7a This is the third time you lot have seen a Type 1 Smotritel launch, so I shan't bore you with too many details. Lauren - I Mission: Launch the Lauren - I Moho probe. Launch Vehicle: Firestorm I It's occured to me that I ought to do something a bit more exciting for you guys once in a while, so here's an interplanetary probe.

Eeek. Double eeek.

I think that I've just found myself a new life motto. @Kuzzter, I just felt more emotion about anything that's happened in a couple of years. This either says something awful about me, or great about you. You can decide that one.

@UnusualAttitude, can you remind me what LDRO stands for?

Double update for you guys today! Explorer - Matchstick III Mission: Launch P0 Netha Kerman into sub-orbit on ANSEB's first crewed spaceflight. Launch Vehicle: Matchstick I ANSEB is rather behind the curve when it comes to progress in space, having started flying a lot later than most agencies (late Year 5). This is the agency's first attempt at crewed spaceflight. The Block 1 Explorer Spacecraft (and its launcher) don't have a great safety record, with E-M I crashing into the sea less than 30 seconds after liftoff, and the first stage failing to decouple on E-M II until a few seconds before landing. Nevertheless, Netha climbed into her souped-up tin can, and was fired, screaming, into the cosmos. Grace - III Operations

Yes, a few. - The Greenwood programme aims to put Kerbals on Duna's moons in Year 10, and on Duna in Year 12, and establish a Duna base around Year 25. - The Aeronaut programme is a nascent SSTO programme. Game bugs and SSTOs are not a good combination. - The new Muttles will seriously open up access to Kerbin's moons for science and tourism. - The Wind Flower class Interplanetary Transfer Ships will support the Greenwood Programme and other ones (flying to Eve's moons, Asclepius, Dres and Vastin). Expect the first module of the first ship to be launched in early/mid summer. Overall, I want to go everywhere I can. In a (somewhat) professional manner. It's an expensive programme to run. My save actually is a couple of weeks ahead of the mission report, and we're having serious cashflow problems, so you can expect some approach and landing tests soonish, but Letayushchi Kirpich 0 (the uncrewed test flight) will probably be a couple of months. I'll try and keep you guys entertained in the mean time. Oh, and: TWO of my favourite storytellers like this!? That's AWESOME!

Eleanor A - I Mission: Resupply Kerbin Outbound Launch Vehicle: Firedance IIIB I suppose that I should introduce you guys to the Eleanor A resupply vessel. It's the product of a little bit of long-overdue logical thinking about my process of re-supplying my space stations. I realised that I could increase my cost-effectiveness by approximately 20 to 30% by using a significantly larger resupply ship. Thus, the Eleanor Advanced was conceived. It's bigger than any resupply vehicle before it, carrying 12 tons of supplies to orbit. That's half the ship's mass.

Oh dear. Thanks anyway.

Hello again. It does. Strangely enough, it appears to have randomly fixed itself. I'll keep you posted if it happens again. Thanks for the ongoing help, NotAgain.

I've noticed that all of my debris disappears a few minutes after separation. I've set persistant debris to 10,000, but it still happens. I like to go back and do things with my debris (like recover it with a spaceplane) after a little while, so this is really inconvenient for me. It's only been happening since I updated to 1.2.2.

It holds down the 'W' key for EVAs or rover driving. I got sick of putting tiny weights on my keys, and found that.

@DrLicor, I meant rocket engines. I did say this, but perhaps I should have made it clearer.

Sorry about the long wait, guys, I've had a trying week. So here, have a few launches. Katie - XXI Mission: Go and complete a Munar ore scanning contract. Launch Vehicle: Muo 2 In a desperate attempt to sort out my cashflow problems, I took a contact to scan the Mun for ore. In an attempt to make it fairly profitable, I had to make it fairly small and put it on a fairly cheap launch vehicle. So this happened. Kerbin Outbound's new docking adaptor. Mission: Launch the new CADS adaptor for Kerbin Outbound Launch Vehicle: Black Lancer 1 After realising that I hadn't put a single CADS docking port on the entirity of Kerbin Outbound, I realised this was needed. Seeing as that's the type of port that the new Eleanor Advanced (Eleanor A) re-supply ship uses, it's kinda useful. This mission adds three of them. Oh, and I'll introduce you to the Eleanor A tomorrow. Stay tuned.

I'm having a problem with all (as far as I can tell) of my liquid fuelled engines under-performing on every launch. A little way into the flight (usually at around 7-10km up), the thrust of the engine drops off, but the right click menu and Kerbal Engineer readouts both say the normal level of thrust, just the navball G-Meter, and the actual performance of the rocket, vary. The thrust gradually returns to normal levels, getting back up to full performance at around 30km. Also, the fuel consumption of the engine remains the same.

Only one launch for you lot today, as I have several chapters of economics to take notes on. Smotritel - 2 Mission: Launch the Smotritel - 2 Telecommunications Observation Satellite. Launch Vehicle: R-7a This was practically a carbon-copy of Smotritel - 1, with a minor edit as to the useless antenna. The experimental antenna from ProbesPlus that was flown as a scientific payload on Smotritel - 1 was removed, as it did nothing but add weight. The satellite entered an 85 x 85km polar orbit, just like its predecessor, and deployed its equipment, able to listen in on any communication originating anywhere on Kerbin, just as intended.

Blue Anchor - Black Lancer VIII (Part 2) After leaving Henton and Ludvey in Munar orbit together for nine days, we come back to two annoyed, but remarkably non-homicidal Kerbals. Kerbin Outbound's Fuel Tank Mission: Something that I've been putting off for a while. Launching a huge fuel tank up to Kerbin Outbound Station, partially fuelled to, A) complete an old contract and, B) to provide a low-orbit fuel depot. Launch Vehicle: Firedance IV This is your introduction to the Firedance IV. Prepare yourselves.

@knowbuddy, you wonderful human.

Blue Anchor - Black Lancer VIII (Part 1) Mission: Launch Henton and Ludvey to Munar orbit to test out the cis-munar capabilities of the Blue Anchor Block IV CSM by rendezvousing with Munar Surface Operaions Control and then moving to a different orbit, where it will stay nine days before returning to Kerbin. This is your introduction to the Black Lancer 2. Launch Vehicle: Black Lancer 2 And yes, this is the answer to yesterday's question. Vak 4 Mission: Launch the Vak 4 test satellite into orbit to test out the mauevering system that'll be used on Vak 5. Launch Vehicle: Saine 2.1 This is the National Airnian University for STEM Studies' third attempt at launching this mission, and sixth attempt at launching a Saine family rocket, which have a 20% success rate.

With a little hope I'll have an update for you lot tomorrow. In the mean time, you might as well try to guess what this is/where it's going. The answer will (hopefully) be posted tomorrow. If not, then a more detailed image.

No. This is a KSP fan-work. This wouldn't be here if it wasn't for KSP. You can't remove the thing that allowed it to exist.

I though that I might give you lot a little taster of what's to come in the future...

Smotritel - 1 Mission: Launch the Smotritel - 1 Spy Telecommunications Observation Satellite. Launch Vehicle: R-7a The first flight of the Metarian Army Smotritel programme went as close to perfectly as any first flight could. The experimental antenna from ProbesPlus that was flown as a scientific payload failed to do anything exept deploy, but these things happen. The satellite entered an 85 x 85km polar orbit and deployed its equipment, able to listen in on any communication originating anywhere on Kerbin.
