Mines was 14.223k for 4 kerbals I have to say it's very good, but it is not reusuable (mines isn't too) and too expensive for a people like me who is trying to get huge amount of funds (i only have 1mil right now). I am making a reusuable one (The upcoming what I call the Falcon 0, Falcon 0a, Falcon 0b) that lands via parachutes. However, many of the parts inside I haven't unlock it yet I am uploading my ship via kerbalx

oh thanks https://imgur.com/a/fo1Gzv5 and guys i think i got why I am crashing again and again. When i was doing the burn i was just facing upside down. And prior to landing I was facing a yellow marker (I thought it was retrograde) but it was prograde. i read the wiki and only know that prograde and retrograde have yellow markers so i was facing prograde and not retrograde LOL And btw that was the old version i already removed the service module which was underneath the crew cabins

15 minute orbital mission complete, putted valentina kerman into orbit and came back down. Now I have the prograde and retrograde markers up, what is next?

I know heat shield is always recommended, but no ablator was used during reentry. But every time it never burns any ablator up why shall I even bother using it? Does it slow the speed down? Right, I had Jebediah who already have xp before the launch, and now valentina is still level zero And also which launch site is the best. Kerbal space center?

So are you saying that I should use the reentry command pod and place it underneath the cabins and use a aerodynamic nosecone on top. (And also remove the td-12 decoupler in between) uh so which marker is the retrograde one

Sorry, but I don't know how to get on a circular orbit. 120x101km orbit was the best for me. But I wanted to finish the mission fast and want to use less delta v because I am doing this for funding from the tourists not for exp or anything And I removed the heat shield since 0 ablator was used during reentry, check it out

So what I do is to launch and immediately pitch until it is 60 degrees east. Then get a apogee of around 120km. Then wait for the perigee to rise over 70km then turn it back down to ~29km. After a while, it will reenter the atmosphere and eventually crash for some reason The drogue chutes never opened, it never let me to. And also I needed to ship 9 pax altogether but I only do 4 at a time, pls check on one of my old post, it shows how my craft looks like. I have all of the level 4 except for aviation. But the hitchhiker module is level 5 (it is part of space exploration). The batteries, thanks for your advice, (I never realized it before), have almost never used any electric charge during the whole flight (however did use some). Shall I get rid of the whole service module or put 2 batteries instead?

I know that, I am just asking how to decelerate in over 700m/s WITH ONLY THE USELESS SMALL REACTION WHEEL I had the idea but that also means no extra funding I mean how do you send a screenshot? im using windows

How?

my craft from top to bottom: Command Module mk12 radial drogue chute (on top of pod) mk1 command pod mk2 radial mount chute x2 (mounted radially on the pod) Tourist module mk1 crew cabin x2 (one under another) Service module (that doesn't get ditched) service bay 1.25m z-100 rechargeable battery bank x8 (to power the tourist module) (inside the service bay) Stage 2 FL-T400 Fuel Tank LV-909 engine Stage 1 FL-T400 Fuel Tank x3 (Stacked together) AV-R8 Winglets x4 (Mounted Radially on the bottom FL-T400 Fuel Tank) LV-T45 engine Boosters: Aerodynamic Nose Cone x4 Bacc thumper srb x4 TT-38k radial decoupler (in between of the wings) (mounted radially on the bottom FL-T400 Fuel Tank) What's the problem?

I only have all the level 3 parts, all the level 4 parts except for aviation. I only ship Valentina Kerman and 4 tourists there that means I only have the small incline reaction wheel, which is close to useless i can say, but add a lot of weight

I wanted to earn some money before I start to do my mun flyby. So I accepted to launch 9 tourists to a suborbital trajectory & orbital trajectory. And it will give me over 250k in funds and over 100 in reputation. So I did my suborbital things. And now I need to do my orbital ones, which is the one which gives huge money. So my first one went smoothly and successfully landed after 17 minutes via parachutes. And I needed to do my second one. Now , everything went smooth, even reentry, but then the red things in the screen wouldn't go away and I couldn't open my drogue chutes. So it crashed in ~700m/s. I reverted that and did it again and again and it had the same ending, I could not finish my contract. Please help. Thanks.
