The Lyra Program - Minichapter 2: Hermes and something else
For all effective purposes, I skipped crux 10 to get to the cool stuff.
The MLAV Begins its EDL Process
Mission Control is full of anxiety
"Turms has Landed"
Now we have MASARE Orbital Insertion
Now after Crux 10 (which i forgot to screenshot), comes the De-orbiting of Crux 8
Re-entry
Thanks for reading, Its just to give you guys some content, Chapter 12 will be on 26/12/20 (AEDT)

The Lyra Program - Chapter 11: Moon or Bust! (p2)
As the date to Crux-9 came closer, Tests of the Gojira began, Shortly after the announcement, Hopper1 went up 140m and before Crux 9, GN8 launches to 12km
"GN8 has landed, Congrats to the team at TundraX, Next Stop 80km"
Now Altair 1 is on the pad, Ready to perform an apollo 10 Like mission
Now Crux-9 Launches
Altair 1 begins its descent to a simulated abort situation, at 6km CDR Ralph Cook and PLT Kathryn Hicks will trigger the abort motor and lift back to the orion.
Altair 1 soon loses contact with Houston for an unknown reason, 48hrs later the Crew of Altair 1 is presumed dead.
An inquiry reveals that Ralph Cook accidentally programmed the system wrong which would've triggered the abort motor before impact. due to the Accident being caused by a Human error, not Hardware or Software error, All other altair missions are still on schedule.
MIS Henry Harris begins his journey back to Earth, but he refuses...
"Henry, You have a girlfriend and you are only 28. Don't through your life away."
"When I was assigned to this mission, I took an oath. If Hicks and Cook died. I wouldn't return and that's final"
Henry Ceases transmissions and de-orbits the Crux. Henry is celebrated as an Astronauts' hero and dies a martyr of some sort.
Rest in Peace the crew of Crux-9.
You served valiantly and proud.
(2022-2030 will be apart of a different MR, "The Age of Exploration")

The Lyra Program - Chapter 10: Moon or Bust! (p1)
A Ghidorah 9 gets ready to Launch the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter 2 (LRO2) after LRO1's cameras failed due to an electrical short
Ghidorah 9 Flight 29 Lifts off LC-40. Right after this flight, A TundraX Press Conference has been called due to "Future Plans"
"Systems are Nominal."
EOI.
At the press conference, A new fully reusable Ship was unveiled by Charles Nussk, Owner of TundraX. Its name was.... Gojira, It had a basic timeline looking like this
- 2020 - Suborbital Hops
- 2021 - Cargo Variant Orbit
- 2022 - Cargo Moon Missions
- 2022 - Suborbital Crew
- 2022 - Orbital Crew
- 2023 - Crewed Moon Orbital Missions
- 2024 - Cargo Mars Missions
- 2027 - Crewed Mars Missions
An Artists depiction was also released
40 Minutes after the press conference, Pictures of the moon were received from LRO2 -
Meanwhile, ETS attempts to Launch 6 Cubesats in LEO using their new Photon Rocket and Recover the First Stage, CEO Parker Deck proceeds to eat a hat Before Launch
If you look very carefully, you can see the chutes
Next Launch is Crux 8,
Next Chapter is Crux 9, 10 and 11

The Lyra Program - Mini-chapter 1: Hermes
The day has come, The Mars Lander, Turms will be launched for the Hermes Sample-return Mission, Turms is the Etruscan equivalent to Hermes, Making it a suitable name for the Lander
"Liftoff of Turms."
"Athena V is nominal", The Launching of Hermes also moved forward the date of the Crewed Mars Landing to 2026 and the Flyby Mission in 2024 with Recent Development, Crew Prospecting has also begun with a Group of Candidates getting picked for The Ares Program,
Stage Seperation Nominal
No EOI Screenies
TMI
(News Segment Below)
"As the Turms Lander leaves for Mars, Hopefully this reminds us that this is in a Greater Step forward, one we took in 1969 when Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon, One we took in 1961 when Yuri Gagarin Orbited the Earth, December 24th 2026, We will launch the next great step."
That announced the Launch date of Ares I
Next Launch is the MASARE Orbiter (Mars Sample Return) on a Muo 541,
-
(Just to note, Crux 3 - 6 were skipped for time problems and screenie problems, it is now 2018 and JUPO2 exists for info)
The Lyra Program - Chapter 9
The Athena V towers the pad once again, Getting ready to launch 2 new ISS Modules, The USHab Module and The iSci Module
This is the first Operational flight of the Athena V after V-Y
EDS
The Modules have been stacked for launch convenience
Docking USHab
Docked iSci
46 Days later is the launch of Crux-7 with Commander Mark Jacobs
Crux 7 is docked
Crux-6 Undocking
Crux-6 De-orbiting
Burn time!
I mis-calculated the burn so now we are landing in Australia.
A parachute did not fire but we still landed safely!
The Next Launch will be LUCOS 1 (Lunar Communication System), A group of 4 Sats each launch to be put into Lunar Orbit to get ready for Crux 11, It will be launched on a Ghidorah 9 Block 2, It will be the Last Block 2 as Block 3 will attempt reusable.
Overexpansion go brrrrr
A Failure in Staging Makes LUCOS 1 Fail, LUCOS 2 can However fill the void
Thank you for reading chapter 9!

The Lyra Program - Chapter 8: Athena and Bagorah
This will be an Extended Chapter and Will Feature a Few cool Missions
(story time)
In 2008, A Company known as Blue Origin springs up with a goal of Suborbital Tourism using the New Grissom Launch Vehicle, In 2014 they unveiled their plans for an Orbital Launch Vehicle, New Borman which will be a HLV. The Year is now 2015 and New Grissom is ready to launch...
Flight 1 will be unmanned for the sakes of testing, However flight 4 will be crewed,
The also other thing excluded is First Stage Recovery, Flight 2 will be the first attempt at a crewed landing
*insert obligatory planetshine shot*
burn baby burn
After a rough landing, The New Grissom Capsule has landed.
The Next Launch is TundraX's Bagorah 9
Nervous TundraX Eyes watch, If this fails NASA will cut off the contract, luckily Rendezvous wont be on this flight, but the stakes are still high
Liftoff of the Bagorah 9! The Bagorah 9 is only a Test Version of the soon to be Ghidorah 9 which will be fully reusable
planetshine moments
First MVAC Firing
After the Second MVAC Firing, A Vital Software Bug causes it to misfire after Gigan Seperation which caused Severe Damage to the Vehicle, It is believed the recovery system has been destroyed and the RCS Tanks Partially ruptured, The Mission is demanded to be deorbited as per TundraX Policies
The next Launch is done by a Small Australian Company, Eris Space Exploration launching there Sunsis Rocket
However due to Problems with the Flight Computer, FTS is activated and Sunsis Flight 1 is declared a failure.
Now we fast forward onto 2016 and on the Pad is Athena V-Y
The Athena V will be the Main Launch Vehicle for the Altair Lander and Crewed Mars Missions
The Ground violently shakes as the Athena V Takes off, Commander of Future Moon Landing Lee Banks watches, knowing that will take him to the moon
The Payload is a Test Inflatable Module which will be used for the Lunar Orbital Gateway
Athena V-Y is a Success. Meanwhile at the North Pole, They are nearly finishing up on a Mars Simulation run with a Plane coming to collect them
and thats it for Chapter 8!

Chapter 7 - Plans and Crux
With current Studies, NASA is beginning to plan Crewed Mars Missions, The Hercules Mission is Planned for 2031 which will be A Manned Mars Flyby Mission while Ares 1 is due to Launch in 2033
Hercules is due to Launch on the Athena V with an Orion to dock to it for Crew.
The First Launch is Crux-2 to the ISS to Carry the Expedition 47 Crew with the First Orion Female Commander, Anne Frazier who is due to be the First Woman on the Moon on Crux 11
Sadly so we can rendezvous this must be a Night Launch but still I did get some good screenies (PlanetShine is god)
Crux-2 has docked, 14 days later, Crux-1 will undock
Undocking of Crux-1
no more orbit
SM Separation
Re-Entry
"Touchdown of Crux-1"
At ESA, They Reveal their New Mars Lander...... Einstein, Einstein will Launch on an Ariane 5 with Another Mars Orbiter, ESA's Mars Orbital Demo (MOD)
ESA's MOD below
Now for the Private Company Sector....
TundraX
TundraX begins Development on the Millennium 9 v1.0
and Cricket v1.1 Vehicle Gets Scaled Up
Another Private Company also springs up, by the name of Blue Origin......
thats it for this chapter

Chapter 6 - Koryol Flies and JUPO Launches
First Launch of this Report is the NIST (Near Infrared Space Telescope) on the Daleth IV Medium
(Thanks to BDB for giving me this beautiful rocket)
"SECO in 3, 2, 1..."
NIST Launch Fails after a Botched Seperation Event, However this will not interfere with the Launch of JUPO soon on the Daleth IV Heavy, Meanwhile TundraX starts Testing its "Cricket" Test Vehicle
Next was the JUPO Launch (JUpiter Polar Orbiter)
"Liftoff of JUPO headed to Jupiter where it will study it and Its Moons!"
Hydrolox is the GOAT
Booster Sep
JUPO, JUPO has a GRS, Magnometer, RTG and Cameras on it to study Jupiter and its moons
The RL-10 Firing its way to Jupiter
Payload Seperation
Fully Deployed JUPO
Now for the Main Event, Koryol D-1 (Demo-1) launching on the Elbrus Light (No SRBS)
EOI
TLI
moon, Due to an Undiscovered Fault with the Koryol Parachutes (i forgot them), It will now serve as a Moon Satellite to Study Life Support Systems and Radiation Levels.
and thats it!

Chapter 5 - Probes
After for being put on Hold for Years, Solar Probe Alpha Finally Lifts off from CCAFS
Next Launch was MoonRise, A Sample-Return Mission using a Modified Hermes Lander on a Muo V 541
It has a Unique Mission Profile, After Lifting off from the South Pole of the Moon, It will burn to earth into an Aerobraking Trajectory, After Aerobraking, EOI and Circularization, It will pinpoint a Landing Site, De-orbit and Land.
(Note, All the Pictures after this are dark because ksp crashed, but luckily i hit f5)
EOI and TLI was Performed by the Centaur Upper Stage while MOI was Performed by the MoonRise Descent Stage
The Service bay is Packed with fuel for Contengency Situations (Spark Engine wont start etc etc)
Approaching our Landing Site s l o w l y
"Touchdown Confirmed." At this moment JPL Mission Control erupted in happiness
Launch of the MoonRise Ascent Stage
MOI
TEI (Trans-Earth Injection)
Brake of the Aero (not to be confused with Lithobraking, If you want that go onto the ISRO mission report)
Because I am a Donkey and Forgot to screenshot the EOI, Circularization and De-orbiting. Here is The Sample Return Capsule.
spicy
"Parachute Partially Deployed." Mission Control was Silent and full of Anxiety but then....
"Parachute Deployed, Welcome home Moonrise." MC Erupted knowing that America is back for the Moon, Next Stop, Mars.
Thats it for Chapter 5. Next Chapter will include maiden Flight for Koryol as a Boilerplate and A News Report will follow after this....

Chapter 4 - Koryol and Athena V
With Russia wanting to put a man on the Moon, They Announce the Koryol Capsule, Which is the due Soyuz Replacement. However Most information is withheld.
Next Event was Crux-1 which will be Carrying the crew of Expedition 45/46.
After this, Planning Begins for a New American Resupply Launch Vehicle, Codenamed "Service", It will utilize the Launch of an Ares 1 Cargo to Launch it to the ISS
Soyuz TMA-18M Undocking from the ISS
This was the last known Transmission of Soyuz TMA-18M, The Soyuz Capsule's Parachute detached leading the Cosmonauts to Smash into the Ground at 181m/s, The Astronauts Killed in this Incident was
- Commander Pyotr Nesterov - Flew on Soyuz TMA-19 as Flight Engineer
- Flight Engineer Emilla Eybozhenka - Maiden Flight as Pilot
- Flight Engineer Makar Abramov - First Flight, Graduated top of 2010 Class
Soyuz Flights have been put on hold until the Cause of Crash is determined and a Fix is put away, Another side affect is that Crux-1 will forced to be a Single Craft Expedition as Soyuz TMA-19M was going to launch one week after TMA-18M Crash
