RSS - Back to supply drops

[ColKlonk]

Dropping supplies at 200MKm.. between Mars and Earth

Creating supply depots for space craft in transit.

A few weeks of 'slingshots' and we have enough Delta-V.. Orf we go!!

Cutting in between Venus and Mercury.. maneuver nodes to anticipate my return to Earth.

200 million Km achieved ahead of earth

Supply drop.. and lets get home.. we have a tight schedule !!

Looking good, lets wait till we get closer..

No corrections needed - Damn Good !!, if I may say so myself

A few braking moves and we're ready to be 'rescued' - Mission Total Time = 443 days (~14.7 months) :cool:

Mars and Earth? But this is not Real Solar System mod.

[Yukon0009]

Pretty sure it is, Kerbin and the original names of planets are kept in RSS I believe due to ingame limitations.

[ColKlonk]

Yup.. RSS cannot change the planet names (as yet), so the Real planets are substituted with original KSP names.

Anyway Jeb and Bill return to 'Ooith'

EarthStation Orbiter meets them at 500Km, and the next depot ships arrives with a return capsule.

Jeb and Bill eagerly jump into the return capsule, and the next two 'Nauts' maneuver to rebuild the next mission.

All set to go, Jeb and Bill prepare to retro.

Jeb forgot how 'heavy' earth can be... pulling heavy G's on reentry.. but they survived..
