Kerbin SOI Delivery System


Recommended Posts

Hello Customer,

Congratulations! You bought yourself stuff to get you into space far beyond the playground.

This deadly conception very well tested machinery is built by MKerb Industries, Inc.

All complaints to their legal department on Kerbin.

Not suitable for children who can't withstand 3 Gees.

KeSOIDeS Mission

--------------------------------

The KeSOIDeS is used for taking heavy rovers or station parts into orbit and land at there intended location on Mün or Minmus. With the use of- Bamboo-Stageing it squeezes out the last Delta-V. It can transport two payloads with 7,8 tons and land them with the included lander stage safely. It includes a docking module for a return stage from a planet-rover to deliver science home to Kerbin. For this use the emergency decoupler before rapid spontaneous disassembly occurs.

Operational Manual:

- Slow 45° turn advised

- If desired, fire liquid engines at the beginning with minimal thrust (10 %)

- SRB should get you above 10 km.

- If flown correctly, no Delta-V from the Orbiter is used to get into Kerbin Orbit.


The KeSOIEV (Unmanned)

Kerbin SOI Exploration Vehicle (Mk. V)

Specs:

  • Mass: 7,0 t (Mk. IV was 7,8 t)
  • Parts: 249
  • Electric Charge: 35.0u
  • Reserve Power: -
  • Monopropellant: 220u
  • Liquid Fuel: 22.5u
  • Delta-V of the Return Vehicle: 1.128 m/s
  • TWR: 6,82 (Mün)

KeSOIEV Mission

--------------------------------

This Rover was specially built for the use on Mün or Minmus. It has a low center of mass and a max speed of 18.4m/s. With its various experiments on board, we hope to find new interesting facts about our neighboring moons. With the build in RW and RCS even flipped rover can be returned to his functional form. When flying over slopes the rover is capable of conducting low orbit science. Karbonite detection was recently added. The rover features a return stage who is able to get into a stable orbit and rendezvous with the KeSOIDeS to return non-transmittable science. Also included is a lander vehicle for the descend of the rover.

Operational Manual:

- The Smart Parts do most of the important work. Just get it stable 5 meters over the surface.

- For Minmus:

-- Don't go faster than 10 m/sec

-- Use RCS to keep the rover down

Automated:

- Lights

- Brakes

- Airbags inflate / deflate

- Decoupling of Lander

- Activate SAS and RCS to stabilize

- Switch Control to the rover

- Be aware that the lander gets a bit unstable when low on fuel.
