@KAL 9000, Kron 6 is crossing the orbit of Dres now.
-
Kerty report #2 - day: 160 - speed: 9182.7 m/s - distance from Kerbol: 35.5 million km - crossing Dres's orbit Probes are unaffected by the ionizing radiation. Also, no Kerbol storms occured. Noice. Kerty is playing Pong. -
No, issue is Eeloo is that most people are n00bs who can't get there.
-
Because government that invented it made it very boring.
-
No one has ever been to Dres.
-
Kerty report #1 - day: 140 - speed: 11232.7 m/s - distance from Kerbol: 21.6 million km - crossing Duna's orbit - first food harvest completed

Oh wow, you managed to do it! Wow! -
PPMTL-B01.......... hibernating PPMTL-K01.......... hibernating Kerty..................... standby mode Kron 6 has reached its solar periapsis. Its speed is 14449.7 m/s, having 390.08 tonnes which means 62.5% of the mass has been dumped.
-
I'll check the maximum speed at Kerbol periapsis. Of course.
-
Kron 6 mission update Transplockian injection burn is complete. All but the highest set of tanks has been spent. Time to periapsis of Plock is two years and 188 days. The ship will pass less than 25 km above its south pole. With its folded radiators and centrifugal module, it's now ready to coast like a cannonball to its destination. At the destination, the four engines will use their collective higher TWR to brake down, and then the radial ones will be disposed of.
-
Following. Holy cow, this is interesting.
-
Here's a little update on a mission that investigated Plockian system before Kerbals went there - Kaos 3. As you can see here, it will take a while to reach the heliopause. Luckily, it just happened that, after installing new Kerbalism, the tail of the heliopause wasn't in the way, so the probe has the best trajectory to test this phenomenon. Kerbals will be home long before it reaches this border. Also, its current condition is manageable. Energy generation is down to 37.5 %.
-
Alexustas, do you expect broken savegames after updating? My Kron 6 mission is on the way and it uses this awesome capsule. Also, will the update include more parts or is it just a cosmetic one?
-
Status update. The ship left Kerbin's SOI and immediately afterwards corrected its relative inclination by using little over 1100 m/s. The crew went to their cryopods while being extra creepy. Kron 6 now lacks entire lower row of tanks. Nobody is awake now and the ship falls silently around Kerbol, while Kerty is waiting for the execution of the maneuver node that will place the ship on a trajectory to Plock. Estimated time of travel will be somewhat over 2 years. Definitively less than three. Already one coronal mass ejection occured. Nothing and nobody got fried.
-
I saw you made Duna have a global, although weak field. That's ok, but it would be nice to have at least one body have field just like Mars and the Moon have. Sadly, we'll probably never see these things in stock KSP. Or, if they get implemented, it will be in a dreadfully stupid way.
-
This is amazing. Even Kebol has it and it's distorted. Well done, indeed! I love this mod. <3
-
1st cosmic speed - achieving low orbit 2nd cosmic speed - forever leaving the body 3rd cosmic speed - leaving the parental star 4th cosmic speed - leaving the galactic
-
Turns out Mun didn't help anything, but that's ok. There's lots of fuel in the ship. The ship has achieved second cosmic speed and is now leaving Kerbin's sphere of influence. Only the first set of three tanks has been jettisoned. Jebediah exited through the airlock (SXT) to check the ship's greenhouse. The food is growing fine. By the way, these are the habitable areas of the ship, excluding the airlock which is in the background. Indeed, the crew will go to cryonic sleep after the burns are finished.
-
The crew has been delivered, but not using that SSTO because getting up to 170 km isn't easy. Rocket with a pod ship called Rubik was used. View from the pod window was interesting, with Minmus in the distance. Docking went fine, although at few FPS, it's not exactly entertaining. Rubik was later thrown into the atmosphere. Anyway, the ship has started firing to get away from Kerbin. This is its booster giving it 88 m/s at TWR of 0.1, extending the apoapsis from 170 to 300 km. The main engines will fire several times. Right now they've lifted the apoapsis to 900 km. The crew has been transfered into the safe module (cryo-chamber) which is completely shielded. Kerty is operating the burns. Four LV-NB engines were probably a good idea because TWR was 0.11, compared to usual 0.04. As usual, Mun will probably be able to help, too.
-
The vessel is called Kalium. It's an SSTO capable of returning to Kerbin from LKO. It's also capable of reaching the ship, but in extremely tight margins. A bit more fuel and a better ascent profile is needed. Jebediah took it for a test ride and saw these, too. Actual layers of Kerbin's atmosphere.
-
The crew will launch in a SSTO vehicle... which is still being tested. Erm, I mean crash tested.
-
Right. KAS stuff. Thanks. Yes, the probes are attached.
