CHAPTER 5: ADVANCEMENT AND INNOVATION YEAR 1, DAY 286 - KAPUTNIK 5 Homeworld observation has been on the minds of engineers at the Kerbal Cosmodrome. Kaputnik 5's goal will be to do exactly that. It's flight profile will take to a 100x100km polar orbit of Kerbin, allowing it to cover every part of Kerbin. This will pave the way for future meteorological, scientific, and "security" satellites. The rocket carrying it will be the standard Nadir KD-2, as it's payload versatility is perfect for our space program right now. Kaputnik 5 safely enters orbit! It'll preform various science experiments, valuable to scientists back down on Kerbin. Due to a time crunch though, Kaputnik 5 has no solar panels or any way of power production. The satellite operates for 3 days before coming just another piece space junk. *** YEAR 1, DAY 312 - MUNA 5 The CKR will be launching a brand new design of Mun probe today, called the Muna Blok-C (which will also be used at Minmus). The Blok-C is a much more advanced orbiter than the orbiters used on Muna 2 and 3, and Myatnyy 1 and 2. And with data gathered from these missions, we can pave the way for technology that will land Kerbals on the Mun and Minmus in the near future. The orbiter will preform long-term observations in orbit of the Mun, and help us to understand more about Kerbin's closest natural satellite. TMI burn Muna 5 begins its day long coast to the Mun MOI burn Muna 5 enters successfully enters orbit of the Mun, and begins sending back tons of data. Color photos of the Mun do in fact confirm: the Mun is a ball of gray dust. But the interesting thing is that this ball may be filled with ancient rocks, some maybe leftover from the formation of the Kerbolar System! The Mun is a treasure trove of science, important for learning the origins of our planet, and even ourselves! Future advanced landers will provide more insight on the Mun, as well as more in depth Mun probe missions. *** YEAR 1, DAY 386 - MYATNYY 4 Using the same design as Muna 5, Myatnyy 4 will also preform close observations of Kerbin's mintiest moon. Data sent back from Myatnyy 3 proved to be quite interesting: Minmus is made of ice. Not dry ice, water ice. How? Did water once flow on Minmus's surface? Much like the Mun, Minmus is a treasure trove of scientific discovery. Myatnyy 4 will also preform a deep data scan of Minmus, and send back information long term to Kerbin. The dark skies above the Cosmodrome wait for Myatnyy 4 to lift up into the sky. Myatnyy 4 enters orbit, preforms its inclination change, sets up its TMI burn, and begins its journey to Minmus. Coasting period begins Myatnyy 4 enter Minmus's SOI Approaching MOI burn (which I didn't get any pictures of) Myatnyy 4 enters orbit of the Minmus! Data sent back is much clearer than the earlier missions. Color pictures sent back show that Minmus is in fact sparkly. Very sparkly. Also, around Minmus is a strange halo of ice particles, most likely forming and falling back to surface in a sort of faux-snow. Further study is needed *** YEAR 1, DAY 356 - ZAKAT 1 Today is the launch of the next crewed program of the CKR: the Zakat Program. The Zakat Program is the next generation of crewed spaceflight, incorporating things like "comfort" and "environment". Also, the Zakat crew module is capable of holding TWO Kerbals. Some may say we just bolted in another seat into the Zapad capsule and reinforced with zip ties. ...No comment. The Zakat, being a bit heavier than the Zapad, required a new launch vehicle to be constructed. Hence, the Nadir KD-3, pretty much a Nadir KD-2 with and upgraded first stage. Now, let's meet our mission's crew. First, we have commander/pilot Valentina Kerman, and second we have Scientist Bob Kerman. Both of them have been carefully selected for the mission, which will last 1 week (6 days). During that week, experiments on long term crew habitability will be preformed. Anyways, enough talking about the mission. Let's get to flying it. Liftoff! Stage 2 ignition. Orbital insertion burn Zakat 1 has entered orbit! Val and Bob settle into their pod, and begin all of the sciency stuff. They start to run onboard experiments, and log down their mental state. Bob, being absolutely obnoxious to Valentina It's a long week in the capsule. Even with all of the snacks and board games, being stuck with the same guy in a small ball must be tiring. Although somewhat disappointed, the two Kerbals are also relieved to finally be returning home. Zakat 1 on re-entry. Touchdown in Kerbin's deserts Zakat 1 has proven that Kerbals can survive in space for a long period of time. Now come the next question: can Kerbals themselves survive in the vacuum of space?

Here it is: https://tennessine.co.uk/flags/ I imported the Kerbin picture from my computer. It's pretty easy to use and learn. You could also use google drawings. That's what I used to make the flags of Beyond and the UKA.

I just wanted to ask you guys, should I call the planets by their English names or should I call them by their Russian names? Here's a translation for each of them below (romanized, of course): Moho - Mokho Eve - Yeva Gilly - Dzhilli Kerbin - Kerbin Mun - Mun Minmus - Minmus Duna - Duna Ike - Ayk Dres - Dres Jool - Dzhul Laythe - Leyt Vall - Val' Tylo - Taylo Bop - Bop Pol - Pol Eeloo - llo
