Discoverer 2 Discoverer 2 is the first crewed mission of the programme. It will carry both the Khonshu lander and ECM to orbit around Enki, and will test important life support systems for the next few missions. Ignition! And liftoff of Discoverer 2 at 1:15pm on Wednesday 12th of December 1173. MECO After entering orbit, Discoverer 2 performs TRE. (don't judge me for using an rs68 as an upper stage) The lander and ECM are released, and dock whilst on course to Enki. The ECM, piloted by Commander Cerney, enters into orbit around Enki. The other crew member, Researcher Macbro, said "Seeing Aquel rise over Enki's horzion made me realise just how small, and how precious our planet is.". Service module and lander jettison.Getting toasty. Splashdown. The crew are back home safely. The mission has been a complete success, and paves the way for Discoverer 3 to be the first mission to land Aquelens on another world.

Discoverer 1 Discoverer 1's main purpose is to test the new Scylla 2 launch vehicle, but it also carries a special payload- Innovator 1, a small probe that will flyby Enki to decide the landing site for Discoverer 3, whilst also gathering interesting information about the moon's composition. Ignition! And liftoff of Discoverer 1 at 12:07pm on Tuesday 16th June 1173. Trans-Enki injection (please don't judge my lack of EVE my computer is awful) Separation of Innovator 1. And a complete mission success! Views of Enki are transmitted back to mission control with lots of clapping and cheering.

Momentum Capsule One of the main spacecraft i'm gonna be using here is the momentum capsule. It was the first Lieno spacecraft to take people into space, and the first crewed spacecraft to orbit Aquel. I'm going to be starting from the discoverer program, the first crewed mission to land on Aquel's only (and very small) moon of Enki.

Basic idea: The title of this is pretty self explanatory. I will be following the history of an alien species, and in particular the nation of Lieno from the early space age to potentially the far future. The system I'm doing this in is the galaxies unbound Tau Ceti Aquel home switch. I'm just doing this for fun, so don't expect all the lore to make complete sense.

random but- is there any way to tell the distance between these stars and kerbol?
