ThreeMartiniLaunch

They are labeled differently, but I believe that all of Eve's surface is a single biome as is the surface of Laythe. And a big thanks to you, Timbo, for an incredible document.

TL;DR version: Watch the videos My buddy challenged me to get as much science as possible from a single launch. We took a virgin persistent.sfs file and doctored it so all science was unlocked, but no experiments were performed. I do not know if he will post his results here, but I will post mine. The rules were simple: A single launch; only "partless" mods (Alarm Clock, Precision Nodes, MechJeb, etc.); all Kerbals must be returned safely to the surface of Kerbin. Here it is on the launchpad: Here it is without the lifter: My launch consisted of the following components: Two "light" single use landers - one each for the Mun and Minmus. I did not include SciJr or Goo, sacrificing those experiments for weight. These landers were able to collect a great deal of orbital science and landed once on the Mun and in five biomes on Minmus. Two "heavy" single use landers - one each for Duna/Ike and Eve/Gilly. They each returned significant science landing on all but Eve. One MPL for the Jool system. This was to reset the SciJrs and Goos on the Jool system lander. It also includes return capsules for the Kerbals working in the Jool system. Two parachute probes to radio scientific data from the surface of Laythe: One reusable lander for the Jool system. It landed on Vall, Bop, and Pol and collected orbital science from Tylo, Laythe, and Jool. The total science was significant. A pusher to push the lander around the Jool system. It was also used to push the return capsules back to Kerbin. I wound up collecting a great deal of science orbiting above the various biomes of the Mun and Minmus. I completed a single landing on the Mun and five on Minmus. I collected orbital science from Duna, Ike, Eve and Gilly. I landed for surface samples on all but Eve. In the Jool system, I landed on Vall, Bop, and Pol and got orbital science from the rest. On the way home, I landed the entire science station on Eeloo. Unfortunately, this was not planned and I had no experiments to perform - Just Crew and EVA reports and Surface Samples. I was also able to land on Dres for the same science. If you want the details, you'll have to watch the videos. Were I to do it again (and I may very well do it again), I think I can get much more science. I've got a lander design that can land on Laythe and Tylo for surface science and I think I can get probes with more science capabilities to the other bodies in the Kerbol system.

I don't think you can do it in the VAB, but once on the launchpad, you can right click on any probe core or command module and choose "rename vessel".

Where in Calming Kerman finds his way back to Kerbin.

Where in TML returns all that sweet, sweet science from the Jool system. We're talking some kind of record here.

I try my hand at an Apollo XI style mission.

Where in TML collects a crap-ton of science from the Jool system.

Where in TML assembles his scientific research flotilla in Laythe orbit.

Where in TML launches a bunch of stuff to Jool.

Delta-V seems to work for me until I attach one of the new gas tanks. Then all but the first stage go to 0. If I reload the ship without the new gas tank, everything is back to normal. Would kinda like to use the new gas tanks, though. TML

201 From the link in the forum post... All four shots are from the same ship

201 From http://jenkins.mumech.com/job/MechJeb2/lastBuild/ Gonna try the one linked in the forum

Same thing happening to me. I have no other mods in common with you. KAS Kethane Precise Node TAC Fuel Balancer Kerbal Alarm Clock All but Precise Node had updates for 0.23.5

Yeah, and it's messing up when I tell MechJeb to execute a maneuver node.

Where in TML sends missions to Duna and Moho.

Can you do something with three martinis? I'm pretty sure I'm violating international copyright law with my avatar and KSP flag. thanks, TML

Where in TML lands at several of the Muns Biomes for Science!

Where in TML lands at all nine of Minmus' biomes for Science! Bonus: I am noticeably intoxicated.

Where in TML makes an unsettling discovery.

Where in I collect EVA reports from low orbit above all nine of Minmus' biomes. Bucu science.

Where in I collect EVA reports from low orbit above all fifteen of the Mun's biomes.

So....dead thread, or did I win?

Where in I collect science from Kerbin high orbit.

Where in I achieve polar orbit and collect science from low orbit EVA reports above each of Kerbin's biomes.

This looks a little familiar. Is it this? If so, here is my entry. I "refuel" in orbit so that puts me on the second leader board.
