Hey everyone. You may remember that I first posted here about a month ago about my TISM career. Well, I found time to play it a bit over the past few weeks, so here's some updates:
The first mission was the launch of Terrather 1, my reusable ore miner, headed for Minmus:
This craft is designed to mine 1500 units of ore from Minmus's flats and return it to my Minmus Station, Minty Station. It also has a nuclear reactor!
Here is Terrather 1 transporting up its first load of ore to Minty Station, and having it refined into...3000 units of Liquid Fuel! I had to rush some radiators out to the station because I originally forgot them, but that's not a big deal, right?
Here we see DULRER (DUna Long Range Exploration Rover) doing its first long distance trek from Endurance Base at Duna's equator to the edge of the poles, and then back. It performed really well on this mission, being able to collect large amounts of science from multiple biomes on its way to the poles, and returning the crew successfully back to base. Of course, Jeb had to plant some flags along the way.
Now we see the launch of a Proton 3 rocket (50 tons to LKO) carrying...
The Rocinante Fuel Tug, my first ever reusable fuel tug, designed to carry Liquid Fuel being refined at Minty Station to the aging Altair Station in orbit around Kerbin (It will be replaced soon, hopefully). This was named after the main craft in the show "The Expanse". I watched the first season just recently, and I was quite interested in it. Also, it turned after getting it to Altair Station that it needed more LFO capacity to feed the aerospike powering it, so that was sent up on an launch that I didn't take photos of.
Finally, to finish off this post, I'm posting pictures of my first probe's arrival at Jool, my first ever visit to the gas giant! This probe, Adventurer 3, has an orbiter and Jool atmospheric probe section all in one package. The second photo has that probe entering Jool atmosphere. I love how SVE makes Jool and its moons look so nice, but it throws my framerate somewhat out the window... Oh well, you've got to make sacrifices some times... My next post for this shouldn't be delayed so much, as I have break right around the corner, but I've got other stuff to do as well. We'll see. However, you might see some RP-0 sooner, as I'm in the mood to play with my career for that...
