    YEAR 3, DAY UH... - THE SECRET SPACE PROGRAM In order to prevent anymore mishaps like Aurora 0, we have put up a sign that will hopefully push away any plucky Kerbals. That should help. Oh, and, uh, we found what we were looking for. After over half a year in orbit of the Mun, we found the main source of the strange signals. While I haven't been able to get my hands on the coordinates, I've gotten a picture of the object in question. A very startling picture. Alright, maybe it's not all that startling, but it's certainly quite interesting. In fact, there are three points of interest around the surface. We certainly have a lot to investigate. Now, a new three Kerbal spacecraft is being worked on. It's time we finally figure what's going on at the Mun...

    YEAR 3, DAY 233 - 'AURORA 0' Awaiting launch at the KSC today is a prototype of the spacecraft that will bring Kerbalkind back to deep space, a mission dubbed 'Aurora 0'. The missions consists of a dummy payload, or a boilerplate capsule, with a prototype service module behind it. The goal for this mission is to wring out the systems of Aurora as thoroughly as possible. The mission plan goes as follows: once Aurora 0 is in orbit, it will wait about 5 orbits before burning to an apoapsis of about 1,000km. There it will remain for about a day, as it's deep space systems are tested again and again. Once that's done, it will preform an inclination burn to align with Minmus. It will remain there for another day. Once it's mission is over, it will de-orbit, and return back to Kerbin hopefully safely. And now, with mission briefing out of the way, let's get to flying! Aurora 0 breaks through the clouds Stage 2 separation Full view of the Aurora Boilerplate Aurora 0 is in orbit! Now the fun part can begin. With Aurora 0 in a stable LKO, it's maneuver to insert itself into a highly elliptical Kerbin orbit is set up. Now comes the waiting. After a few Kerbin orbits, the new upgrade RE-10 "Poodle" lights up for the first time! Now our orbit looks like this: Mission control settles in, and begins to test and re-test Aurora's systems. View from 1,000km Just a day later, Aurora 0 prepares for it's inclination change. Believe it or not, apparently having an elliptical orbit made the inclination change more efficient. I would've thought the opposite, but I don't know. Inclination change After another day in orbit, it's time for Aurora 0 to come home. The periapsis is lowered to 20km, the service module is separated, and the capsule srifts back into Kerbin's atmosphere. Parachutes deployed Camera's appeared to have captured some strange lights in distance. Strange, considering how remote this part of the desert is. Eh, probably nothing... Aurora 0 safely touches down in the desert! Rescue teams are quickly dispatched. Kerbalkind will soon be returning to deep space. This time for good.

    Congratulations to both of the winners! And nice job @kurgut! Two CPOTM in a row!

    YEAR 3, DAY 208 - NOVA 4 RETURN We back... View from Nova 4's docking port After a thrilling 10 days in space, it's time for Tito Kerman to come home. He says his goodbyes to the crews, and hesitantly enters the MLO to head back home. The MLO has also proven itself a very safe, reliable, and capable spacecraft. Beyond gives the greenlight for more missions with the MLO to be scheduled, opening the doors for more missions bringing space tourists up as well as scientific missions too. One might say a new era has been ushered in. De-orbit burn. Five pixel city Nova 4 successfully returns home in the grasslands of Kerbin, just outside a small city. Tito went up a famous rich billionare, and came back a super famous rich billionare. He will be echoed throughtout history as the first normal Kerbal (normal compared to kerbonaut) to ever touch the stars. Beyond would like to congratulate @Dunas Only Moon and @Watermel00n, as well as their respective companies, for their amazing contributions to space travel. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Been a while, innit? First mouse trouble, than *gag* school, and then an extreme case of Writer's Block. But here we go, another update to Beyond. I'm glad everyone stayed by during this slump. We may have even gained a few new followers. Beyond and adjacent stories will now continue, and I will also try to step up my photography game, too. Every shot unique with lots of thought put behind it. Consider it a "rebirth" of Beyond. So, until next time, Kerbalsaurus
