[WIP] Minmus Mintchip Sprinkle, now with working DL.

Com'n to tell you my mission failure...

Misson: Put SCANsat scanner into polar orbit around Mun

Details: Attempt to get low resolution scanner into a polar orbit of roughly 250k. Get low res scans of Mun Surface and plan next landing.

Mission Update: F--k the Mun, go for Sprinkle

What happened: Waisted nearly 3000dv to get an encounter with the little piece of *** moon. Had an encounter... it happened so fast that while I was out of window I didn't even realize that I flew through the SOI.... spend about 2000 of the mentioned 3000dv trying to burn strait down to Sprinkle, gave up, used Hyper Edit to put me into a 1000m orbit around it because apparently 10000 is out of its SOI... Burnt strait down (like a baws) almost missed it, realized I was going to turn into a chocolate chip on the minty surface, burned away, missed the planet, and began a struggle with its tiny size and high gravity to try and get myself on the surface. Ended up smashing my probe down due to the gravity (and because I wasn't expecting my ship to fall so fast xpx). My probe broke, leaving it with a battery, reaction wheal, and the Probodobodyne square core thingy (wow I should know that... I'm doing this mission as Probodobodyne Incorperated, so no manned missions unless nessesary). spend a few more minutes fking around, spinning the probe until it ran out of power, used the backup power in the probe core to change its name to "We landed on Sprinkle! Now to do it again, with SCIENCE!" I am now in the process of developing (researching in the tech tree and looking for mods) the technology for really high efficiency engines with good TWR that will allow me to go to Sprinkle, land, and mmmaaaayyyybee return to kerbin... or just be food for the Pudding Kraken

mkai, so I've unlocked most of the tech tree (I need like... 6-7k more science to be absolutely sure, and I've stayed inside the Kerbin system xpx). I'm going to get a REALLY BIG ROCKET and burn at Sprinkle. I suspect 1 of 3 things to happen:

1) Sprinkle goes poof because REALLY BIG ROCKET

2) REALLY BIG ROCKET goes poof because indestructable bodies in KSP

3) Pudding Kraken is hungry, eats REALLY BIT ROCKET and Sprinkle

Await an update on what happens! (goes off to make said rocket)

I have to try this out!

The potential for game-breaking glitches is enormous. Someone get Danny2462

It reminds me of

.

Also: Is it possible to add an atmosphere? And what would happen if you set it so that the atmosphere extended outside its SOI?

PFCE is obsolete, Kopernicus is more stable and less RAM-intensive.

I gave you rep for that beautiful photo. I must say though, Sprinkle needs floating dust around it like Minmus.

One dust particle would be bigger than sprinkle.

If someone could actually get Danny2462 to play with my Minmus Mintchip mod it would be truly amazing! Space_Scumbag would also work.

I can confirm that Sprinkle does load up in the tracking system, but I have not sent a craft to Sprinkle - so I will keep you all updated, Just install this mod, then re-install Kopernicus on top of your copy that came with Sprinkle. I will probably either comment again with continuity, or I will edit this comment on the discovery.
