Mission 50 Payload: Wanderer-2 Description: Probe designed to explore the Jool system, with a small Laythe lander attached to it. Mass at launch: 1641.2 kg (1282.5 kg + 358.7 kg Laythe probe) Launch vehicle: Bottle Type-02a (LV-909 upper stage) Mission objective: Enter into an orbit around Jool, deploy the Laythe landing probe, and conduct fly-bys of all of Jool's moons.

Sounds like Sontar (home planet of the Sontarans from Doctor Who)

Mobius 1, engage.

The Huygens probe was attached to Cassini's side. When it was jettisoned, how did Cassini account for the change in center of mass?

I already know about the usefulness of that (in-situ resource utilization for reusable landers on interplanetary "grand tour" missions). But what I'm talking about is kethane bases on the Mun or Minmus. The ones showcased in this thread. Are those useful?

I see people establishing kethane mines on Minmus or the Mun. But do they serve any practical purpose?

Somehow, it's working now! Thank you for whatever you did!

Or you could just send small robotic probes.

Nope, still getting the error.

This is strange... logging in worked on a computer at school. But I get the "Not Acceptable" error at home.

I just copy my persistence file from my save on the old version to the save on the new version. What do people mean by "save-breaking"?

Mission 49 Payload: Electric Angel Description: Space probe with an electric xenon-ion engine, Gigantor XL solar arrays, and communications dishes. Mass at launch: 1615 kg Launch vehicle: Bottle Type-02b (48-7S upper stage) Mission objective: Establish a polar orbit around Dres. Click below to see more:

Mission 48 Payload: Mouhou Project 2 Description: Moho observation orbiter Mass at launch: 965.4 kg (4292.9 kg with upper stage) Launch vehicle: Bottle Type-02a (LV-909 upper stage) Mission objective: Establish a polar orbit around Moho. Click below to see more:

Cleared my cookies... still getting the error [it is almost 14:00 (2 P.M.) Pacific time]

That "Not Acceptable" error is happening again. (current time: 9 a.m. Pacific time; it was also happening last night)

That's not originally from HAWX. It's a IDOLM@STER DLC skin for Ace Combat 6 (since they're both made by Namco). That's cool, Kerbal Space Combat.

Mission 47 Payload: M/IKU-02 (Mapping/Identification Kethane Unit) Description: A small observation satellite equipped with a Kethane detector. Mass at launch: 739 kg (3609 kg with upper stage) Launch Vehicle: Onion Stick Type-05 Mission objective: Establish a low polar orbit around Minmus to find kethane deposits. Click below to see more:

I want Kerbal Engineer to have a feature that shows delta-v based only on RCS monopropellant and thrusters.

Thermometers don't use up electricity. It's the reaction wheels on the probe body.

Preview of my lightweight personal SSTO capable of docking with a space station (though I haven't done that yet).

Research and Development.

H-IIB (and H-IIA), my favorite launch vehicle.

Adding canards helped a lot.

Start off with suborbital sounding rockets.

By switching from the aerospikes to the LV-909s (since the aerospikes were only used once they were in the upper atmosphere), I had less mass and more delta-v. But I still have pitching problems. And it seems that most of them occur at takeoff with the landing gear deployed.
