6/10 - The patches are a nice thing for sigs, but the second one has a irritating grey line at the bottom. Also :hailprobe: ??

Another test of the by now fully operational Sleipnir I rocket: SO-102 With a new, improved second stage design the rocket is now even more powerfull than before!

Today the sixth fight of a Sleipnir rocket took place: SO-101 This is the first time the the booster carried a boilerplate CSM into orbit. Stay tuned for more exiting news about the Odin Program, our nations voyage to the Mun!

Today the LES had to proof itself again, in the O-001 Mission! In it's second test, the LES hat to pull a dummy CM away from a transsonic Munin II rocket. Once again the LES performed it's mission admirably and at Mach 1.2 pulled the CM away from the Munin II rocket and into safety.

Yeah, I only realized this morning that the S-IV stage at this point in time had six engines. And I realized that the Saturn I didn't have eight fins before the SA-5 test, so I made a mistake there All these nooks and crannies...

This morning the fifth test of the Sleipnir I rocket took place at the KSC: Sleipnir I OS-5 For the first time the Sleipnir I would fly two stages, the eight engine S-I first and the six engine S-IV second stage. This is the first orbital mission of the Odiun Munar Program, with the final stage entering a highly elliptical 90.2 km x 8750 km orbit around kerbin, turning the S-IV Stage into the heaviest satellite to ever be accelerated into space.

Hah...Apollo 7.....that is far down on my timeline....

This morning the Pad Abort Test 1 took place at the Kerbal Space Center. The launch escape system (LES) had to proof that it is capable of pulling the command module away from a possibly exploding rocket while it sat on the pad. The LES then had to gain enough altitude to allow the command module's parachutes to open. Officials that witnessed the Test were highly impressed!

Insufficient Input The user below me likes Star Trek.

Because somebody was there to listen. Is replacing the first letter of everything with K when using it in KSP still funny? (e.g. Kpollo, Kupiter V, apokee, KASA)

I built something similar a while ago: the CRoBAR However, the CRoBAR drop it's airbreathing engines so it's not a real SSTO more a Single-and-a-half-Stage-To-Orbit.

I launched another test of my Odin Munar Programm

This week in the Odin Munar Program: Munin II QTV The Munin II vehicle was built specifically as a cheap way to test the new launch escape system. Todays flight objectives were to prove the Munin II rocket's capability as an Odin CSM test vehicle and to determine maximum speed of the plywood-contraption. The rocket reached its maximum speed of 439.4 m/s (or Mach 1.48) at an altitude of 11.4 km. It reached an 18.5 km apogee before plumeting back into the ocean. No nosecones where hurt in the process.

There are hundreds of greek words in the english language. Do you propose to roll the 'r' in 'astro-' aswell? What about "aero-"? I'm not sure if this as reasonable as it first sounds....

This morning the fourth mission of the Odin program launched: Sleipnir I OS-4 OS-4 will be the last single stage test of the new Sleipnir Rocket. As the first three missions it will be a suborbital flight. The major addition to this flight is that, in order to test the rocket's ability to deal with an engine failure during the flight, one of the engines will be dropped once the rocket reaches Mach 2. To the astonishment of the engineers the rocket was able to compensate the lost engine and deliver the second stage to a 91 km apoapsis.

I'm not sure why they look funny. I use the [*imgur]...[*/imgur] (without *) command to post my albums. Do you mind if I'm a nit-picker? I think your QTV mission is mislabeled. The QTV flight was just to test the Little Joe II rocket. It only had a dummy launch escape system and a boilerplate CSM. I think you are looking for the A-003 mission.

Yes, it survived the splashdown aswell Not only that, it started to jump in and out of the water continuously. We suspect it might be posessed by a demon.
