Those are some pretty cool designs. Thanks for sharing!

I used to quicksave a lot (like every few minutes). But now, not so much. I like taking risks and playing more realistically.

Psh, too easy. Come back when you have a real challenge!

Wow, that was a very informative post. Thank you for that. This post really drives the point of the thread home. (I'm the OP, by the way, not Oggula.)

This is a very cool design. Nice an balanced. Really aerodynamic. And just plain cool looking. (This thread may belong in The Spacecraft Exchange section, but I'm not a mod or anything so don't hold me to it.)

Mission: Axis 2 Mission Objective: Launch a Kerbal into LKO and return him to the surface. Launch Vehicle: LV3A ~ A four segment launch vehicle comprised of 3 TVR-200 Stack Bicouplers, 4 FL-T400 Liquid Fuel Tanks and 4 LV-TV30 Liquid Fuel Engines. Payload: Aurora ~ A small space vehicle designed to be flown by one Kerbal, although unmanned flight guided by KSC is possible. Features an abort sequence that fires two small Sepratron I's, decouples the guidance unit and capsule, and shuts down all engines. Jebediah Kerman ~ A highly trained and experienced pilot. Very brave and willing to put his life on the line for science and understanding of aerospace travel. Mission Outcome: Axis 2 maintained a 90km by 90km orbit above Kerbin for six orbits, before preforming a retroburn. Parachute was deployed and the capsule landed off of the shore of the east desert. Jebediah Kerman is now the first Kerbal to ever be sent outside of Kerbin's atmosphere. Mission successful. Mission Highlights: Photo taken from Jebediah Kerman's helmet camera prior to launch: Ascent profile of Axis 2: Aurora-Axis 2 decouples from LV3A and transfers power to it's main stage: Photo taken from one of Aurora's on board cameras during orbit: Another on board photo: Axis 2 prepares to preform a retroburn: Deorbit burn: Axis 2 just misses the desert shore line: Parachute deployed: Soft splashdown:

Edit: Ninja'd 3.) Make sure Jeb is always the pilot. 4.) Attach parachutes. 5.) Attach ladders. 6.) Visit Neil Armstrong Memorial on the Mun.

It's not that I hate the asparagus design, I just wanted to see more unique launch vehicles. I was just getting bored of constantly using asparagus over and over again. Thats a very cool design, you got there!

I think this belongs in the Mission Reports section, although I'm not a mod or anything so don't hold me to it. /offtopic Congratulations mate! Eeloo's one hell of a planet to get to. Takes a lot of Delta V to get to. Big inclination changes. Plus, it's not really sporting an equatorial orbit. And, it's a giant snowball. Basically, an inverted Moho.

Pretty much what I do. [P.S. Love your sig/avatar]

Mission: Axis 1 Mission Objective: Test Aurora by launching it unmanned and testing all functions + Get Aurora A into equitorial LKO. Launch Vehicle: LV3A ~ A four segment launch vehicle comprised of 3 TVR-200 Stack Bicouplers, 4 FL-T400 Liquid Fuel Tanks and 4 LV-TV30 Liquid Fuel Engines. Payload: Aurora A ~ A small space vehicle designed to be flown by one Kerbal, although unmanned flight guided by KSC is possible. Features an abort sequence that fires two small Sepratron I's, decouples the guidance unit and capsule, and shuts down all engines. Mission Outcome: Axis 1 maintained a 90km by 90km orbit above Kerbin for three orbits, before preforming a retroburn. Parachute was deployed and the capsule landed in the east desert. Mission successful. Mission Highlights: Axis 1 on launch pad: Ascent: Axis 1 separating from LV3A: Orbiting Kerbin: Axis 1 decouples from the main stage as hard reentry begins: Parachutes open without any anomaly: Landed:

Why thank you! (:

@Bothersome Wow... That's really low. Especially for a big ship like that... Holy crap.

When advertising on Kerbin isn't enough...

Mission: Orbiter 5 Mission Objective: Launch a satellite into LKO and return it to Kerbin safely. Launch Vehicle: LV2A (Launch Vehicle 2, A Model) ~ An RT-10 SRB underneath a LV-T30 Liquid Fuel engine fueled by a FL-T400 Liquid Fuel Tank. Payload: Reentry Capable Probe (RCP) ~ A small probe with a parachute, 2 small solar panels, and two batteries. Mission Outcome: Orbiter 5 was put into a 70km by 70km orbit. After orbiting Kerbin twice, Orbiter 5 preformed a deorbit burn and landed just off the east coast of the KSC continent. After the probe was recovered, scientists gathered all of the information gathered by RCP from reentry. Mission Very Successful. Mission Highlights: Orbiter 5 on launch pad: Orbiter 5's ascent: RCP-Orbiter 5 being deployed: After preforming the reentry burn, parachutes open to slow the decent of RCP-Orbiter 5. Orbiter 5 lands at 2.5 meters per second in the ocean:

Mission: Orbiter 4 Mission Objective: Launch a satellite into a 45 degree orbit with scientific equipment relaying information back to KSC. Launch Vehicle: LV1B (Launch Vehicle 1, B Model) ~ Same as LV1A, except two RT-10 SRB's have been added so fuel can be saved. Payload: IRS (Information Relay Satellite) ~ A satellite which features four Communotron 16 antennae and several scientific devices. Mission Outcome: The satellite reached an orbit of 75km by 75km at a 29.5 degree inclination. A plane change burn was preformed, and now Orbiter 4 orbits Kerbin while relaying information back to KSC. Mission successful. Mission Highlights: Orbiter 4 right after launch: Orbiter 4's ascent: Orbiter 4 ditches LV1B and switches to it's main stage: Orbiter 4 is deployed:

Mission: Orbiter 3 Mission Objective: Launch a satellite into a 45 degree orbit and establish communications with KSC. Launch Vehicle: LV1A (Launch Vehicle 1, A Model) ~ FL-T400 Fuel Tank with LV-T30 Liquid Fuel Engine. Payload: Orbital Communications Satellite (OCS) ~ A small communications satellite fit with 4 OX-STAT Photovoltaic Panels and a main communications dish. Mission Outcome: The satellite managed to make a 75km AP, but during the orbital injection burn, OCS ran out of fuel with a PE of 17km. Scientists were able to observe and learn from the effects of reentry, but it was not enough to call the mission even a partial success. Mission failed. Mission Highlights: Orbiter 3 on launch pad: Orbiter 3's ascent: Orbiter 3, now out of fuel, opens its com dish to communicate with KSC that it is falling back to Kerbin. The doomed satellite reenters Kerbin's atmosphere at over 1.5 kilometers per second:

Mission: Orbiter 2 Mission Objective: Launch a satellite into equatorial LKO with scientific equipment relaying information back to KSC. Launch Vehicle: LV1B (Launch Vehicle 1, B Model) ~ Same as LV1A, except two RT-10 SRB's have been added so fuel can be saved. Payload: IRS (Information Relay Satellite) ~ A satellite which features four Communotron 16 antennae and several scientific devices. Mission Outcome: Satellite was launched into a 80km by 80km equilateral orbit around Kerbin. IRS is relaying information gathered by scientific devices back to KSC. Mission Successful. Mission Highlights: Ascent of IRS after boosters have been decoupled: IRS preforming its orbital injection burn: Deployment of IRS: The satellite flies over KSC, relaying valuable information to mission control:

Mission: Orbiter 1 Mission objective: Launch a satellite into LKO. Launch Vehicle: LV1A (Launch Vehicle 1, A Model) ~ FL-T400 Fuel Tank with LV-T30 Liquid Fuel Engine. Payload: Orbital Communications Satellite (OCS) ~ A small communications satellite fit with 4 OX-STAT Photovoltaic Panels and a main communications dish. Mission Outcome: Probe was launched into a 78km by 76km orbit around Kerbin. Communication has been established and probe is responding to commands from KSC. Mission Successful. Mission Highlights: On the Launch Pad: Launch: Deployment of payload: After one orbit, OCS flies over KSC:

The Kerbal Association of Aeronautic and Space Technology is an emulation of a real world space agency's approach to aerospace technology development. Missions will be carried out as realistically as possible, and outcomes of said missions will be responded to with the same level of realism. This thread will document each flight. KAAST will create an objective and will then create a program to complete the objective. Each mission will go towards completing the program's objective. Once KAAST feels like the objective has been complete, the program will be closed. To see the more aeronautic side of KAAST, click here. *Based on the time of the latest mission's completion time. Courtesy Holo for making the pixel-art depiction of the KAAST flag. Announcement: New world has been created. Launch Vehicle Designations have been reset, the report format has been slightly changed, and KAAST is starting fresh. Come back soon!

That was awesome.

Yes, this is what I do.

I just use Fileize. Very easy. You can choose to make an account (where all of your pictures are available in list view) or just upload as a guest.

Create mission with objective. Create vehicle(s) to complete objective. Test vehicles. Log test results. Fly mission for realsies. ??? Profit.

How did...this...happen, Invalid?
