  1. Remember on Monday, an Intelsat sattelite launches into orbit of the Earth with the launch provided by the International Launch Services.

    Also, in regards to my forum here, I'm requesting moderators for anyone who wishes to sign up.

    ISS News:

    Later this month a manned mission on a Soyuz will be launching to the ISS to start a inbewteen period where there are two crews abourd the station. The Dragon Capsule should be un-berthing in a couple of weeks and coming back down to Earth with twice as much cargo as it brought up. On Halloween, a Progress mission will be launching to provide supplies which will be de-orbited next year sometime. Sometime later this year, an EVA should be coming up to do some work on the station.

    This has been your ISS news, hope you like it.

  2. I did it finally but there is a need for a rescue mission as I disconnected the transfer stage too early and there is not enough fuel in the lander.

    My next objective is to get him back since I only have very little fuel and then I will head out to Minmus since I finally nailed landing safely.

    I'm now going to pretend this was my first Mun landing even though it wasn't but this is my first one without anything blowing up so oh well.

    During landing the lander did skid a bit so I'm glad I landed on flat terrain.

  3. I know one which is ISA MapSat for mapping celestial bodies but I don't think there are many others.

    There is already a reason to go there and it is simply because you can so you can claim you landed on it etc.

    There doesn't need to be a WHY just like there isn't a WHY to our lifes.

  4. , for those of you who can't get enough of SPACE (which should be all of you!)

    Heh. I have already seen it as I watched the hatch opening live.

    On Topic is a news release:

    Update / SpaceX CRS-1 Mission: October 12

    NASA and SpaceX announce that they have jointly formed a CRS-1 Post-Flight Investigation Board. This board will methodically analyse all data in an effort to understand what occurred to engine 1 during liftoff of the CRS-1 mission on Sunday, October 7. While Falcon 9 was designed for engine out capability and the Dragon spacecraft has successfully arrived at the space station, SpaceX is committed to a comprehensive examination and analysis of all launch data, with the goal of understanding what happened and how to correct it prior to future flights. Additional information will be provided as it is available.

  5. Remember, at 18:15 GMT (14:15 EDT), the Galileo sattelites will be launching on the Fregat launch vehicle for the European Space Agency.

    You can find live coverage here that starts at 17:48 GMT (13:48 EDT) from the ESA.

    Also on Sunday, Felix will be jumping from his capsule hopefully, not space exploration in any way but I it is sort of relevant.

  6. Welcome to the forums, Ohm Machre.

    Just like Damion said, the moderation team are a great help around here and do great jobs.

    I suggest Nova Punch Remix Pack for the mod you want, as it has lots of different parts that are bigger and you can get payload fairings.

    Good luck trying to get to the planets, I hope it goes well.

    Have fun playing KSP and go blow up some rockets! :sticktongue:

  7. Welcome to the forums, Fweeba.

    Make sure to throttle down if you want to disconnect an engine which still has fuel in.

    Also, don't keep MechJeb forever, just watch it a few times and pick up a few tips and than you can do it yourself.

  8. LOL

    Extremely valid point, I love it. Someone might raise the objection that falling means you eventually hit the ground, but the astronauts 'fall to earth' eventually. Just in a capsule XD

    Yep they do, Felix needs a Dragon capsule with a Merlin Engine 1 to get very fast. :sticktongue:

    On Topic: Next attempt is on Sunday, the abandoned today's attempt.
