    That's justifiable, because it's worked on by only one person (Martin Schweiger) in his spare time, without pay.

    Mission 42 Payload: Wish-3 Description: A probe designed to orbit Ike. Mass at launch: 0.269 t Launch Vehicle: Onion Stick Type-05 Mission objective: Establish an orbit around Ike. Approaching Ike's sphere of influence after having entered Duna's orbit: Burning until fuel ran out: 891 km x 776 km orbit:

    It takes place in a parallel universe where there are materials that have super-high densities, but there is no change in the gravitational force.

    ^That Nova can probably launch a manned Mars mission in one go. Fictional (but realistic) launch vehicles made by Forum Orbiter Italia for Orbiter Space Flight Simulator: From left to right: 01: Triton (5 tonnes to Low Earth Orbit) 02/03: Neptune-1 (10/13 t) and wide-fairing version 04: Neptune-1b (17 t) The Jarvis family is based on an actual proposal for a single rocket derived from Saturn V and Space Shuttle technology. 05: Jarvis-S (Single-engine, 21 t) 06: Jarvis-L (Light, 28 t) 07: Jarvis-C (Commercial, 34 t to LEO, 13 t to Geostationary Transfer Orbit) 08: Jarvis-B (Basic, 44 t) 09: Jarvis-E (Enhanced, 55 t) 10: Jarvis-H (Heavy, 86 t to LEO, 31 t to Lunar transfer) 11: Jarvis-M (Moon, 129 t to LEO, 49 t to Lunar transfer) 12: Quasar-220 (93 t) 13: Quasar-440 (158 t) 14: Quasar-452 (233 t to LEO, 85 t to Lunar transfer)

    The Soviets also had the Energia launcher, which could carry 100 tonnes into low Earth orbit.

    Awesome mission.

    This is not your flight log. Please create your own mission log thread, as this is for KAAST.

    You seem to be doing actual scientific observations with this, which is nice, but I think you're measuring atmospheric pressure, not density. Atmospheric pressure is related to how high you are above sea level.

    Nice spaceplane.

    Mission 39 Payload: M/IKU-01 (Mapping/Identification Kethane Unit) Description: A small observation satellite equipped with a Kethane detector. Mass at launch: 0.739 t Launch Vehicle: Onion Stick Type-05 (first stage: LV-T45 liquid engine) Mission objective: Establish a low polar orbit around Kerbin to test Kethane-detecting systems.

    Could never build a plane in KSP, let alone one that gets into orbit.

    Well, it is.

    Mission 38 Payload: Wanderer-1 Description: A probe designed to make a fly-by of Jool. It is mainly powered by a radioisotopic thermoelectric generator and carries a small atmospheric entry probe. Mass at launch: 0.647 t (fly-by probe: 0.417 t; atmospheric probe: 0.230 t) Launch Vehicle: Bottle Type-01 (from now on, I will refer to it as Type, not Mk.) Mission objective: Make a low-altitude fly-by of Jool and deploy the atmospheric probe. (Optional objective: Achieve solar escape velocity.) Fairing cut-away: Travelling through interplanetary space for over a year: Jool encounter (13 days to periapsis): The atmospheric probe separates from the rest of the spacecraft... ...in order to put some distance between the two. Atmospheric probe about to enter: I didn't want to put a Rockomax Brand Adapter 02 giant heat shield, so just pretend that this is shaped like this instead of a box. Falling through Jool's atmosphere (parachute always breaks at 500 m). Laythe can be seen in the background. (I went back to an earlier quicksave, because I can't switch vessels while in the atmosphere) After reaching periapsis, the probe burned its remaining fuel... ...to place it on a solar escape trajectory.

    I've noticed that you used Sumerian mythology as the basis for your naming scheme. It's quite different from the usual Greco-Roman stuff.

    And here they are: Mission 37 Payload: Nebula-5 (Mk. 01c) Description: Testing the replacement of Illuminator Mk1s with Mk2s. (Turns out that they really are weak unless you get very close to the target) Launch Vehicle: Bottle Mk. 02-2S Mission objective: Rendezvous and dock with Futurelab. Crew: Hermy, Guslas, and Shepsby Kerman

    Six. In fact, they're coming up on the next mission.

    Mission 36 Payload: Futurelab node module Description: A module with several docking ports for extra modules. Mass at launch: 5.820 t Launch Vehicle: Bottle Mk. 02-2S Mission objective: Dock to the Futurelab core module. Rendezvous: The node module was detached from the second stage to continue towards the station (RCS is closer to the center of mass this time): Docked:

    Mission 35 Payload: Dawn-2 Description: A spacecraft designed to make scientific observations while in orbit around Eve. Mass at launch: 0.269 t Launch Vehicle: Onion Stick Mk. 03a Mission objective: Establish an orbit around Eve. Approaching Eve after entering its sphere of influence: Prior to insertion burn: Intial orbit after capture: Using the remaining fuel, this was turned into a 1000 km polar orbit: Did you know? All KASDA space probes have carried internal metal plates which contained images of Kertsune Miku.

    If you have to show a dark side shot, use the galaxy as a background to highlight the silhouette of the spacecraft.
