What's the first thing you got into orbit in 1.0?

The first thing I put into orbit was a small probe destined for Eve.

I wanted to see how ISP was implemented the new aero for pressures above one atmosphere.

The fairing, which I thought might protect the probe, was the first thing to be destroyed during aerocapture.

During final aerobraking and descent I lost a couple of batteries and a couple of solar panel, but that was it.

This was all done for science! The ISP does indeed continue to drop as pressures increase above one atmosphere.

The Terrier hit zero ISP when it got down to about 3000 m on Eve.

I love the new aerodynamics. And three cheers for the ISP nerfs!!!

Happy landings!
