The cheapskates at Mission Control have "made a few cuts" to the budget so that they can afford they big party they all have at christmas. However, they still expect you to complete missions as before. Time to build a new generation of mini-probes! Good luck with the challenge! Note: ALL vessels must be made of stock parts and no science is required. Part 1: Build a probe costing less than 55,000 credits(no overpowered RTGs) and send it to an interplanetary moon. The probe cannot weigh more than 100 tons. In hard mode, do it with 35,000 credits.

Part 2: Build a probe costing less than 20,000 credits and weighing less than 10 tons and send it into orbit. In hard mode do it costing less than 12,000 credits and weighing 5 tons or less.
