Kerlington Engineering - "Doing space because we care"

[Jablea3000]

I've been adding a bit of rp flavour to my career mode, and after reading some of the fantastic posts in this forum decided to start my own. Not wanting to restart my save though, I'm going to begin from here...

After the devastating loss of Commander Jebidiah 'Jeb' Kerman, an inquest led by the Divisional Office Of Funding and Unbiased Safety (DOOFUS) has decreed that all future mission plans and reports be made available for public scrutiny.

Mods in use:-

Kerbal Engineer

Kerbal Alarm Clock

RCS Build Aid

Distant Object Enhancement

KAS

KIS

Procedural Fairings

TAC Life Support

SCANsat

Contract Configurator (Scansat, tourism, space station and base packs & advanced progression)

Will add some pics and mission details when I get home from work

Missions in progress

The Kerbal Space Station

GeoSat I - A multispectral scan of Kerbin (Soon to be decommissioned)

Future Missions.

Divisional Office Of Funding and Unbiased Safety inspection of The KSS.

5 inspectors from DOOFUS want to conduct a thorough inspection of the orbital lab facilities on board The KSS. (A Tourism contract to send 5 tourists for 4 hours)

Kerlington Engineering Extra Planetary

The PR department wants to build on the excitement generated by the latest episode of the Sci Fi program 'Hoomans' in which the plucky aliens of planet Earth sent an unmanned probe to the furthest used-to-be-a-planet, Pluto. By sending the first Kerbin made object on a flyby of a distant planet. The egg heads from the orbital tracking station have determined that our earliest opportunity for a transfer will be in approx 53 days, and the planet chosen... Moho.

Looking forward to this! I particularly like the Divisional Office Of Funding and Unbiased Safety.

I sympathize with the tragic loss of Jebediah, as this happened very early in my (unfortunately defunct) Koviet Space Program mission log. I'm hoping to keep him alive a little longer in the Kerpublican Space Agency's new mission log.

Cheers, DOOFUS will be featuring heavily, they are the moustache twirling bad guys trying to shut down the space program at every turn.

Kerlington Engineering is disappointed to announce the failure of our most recent satellite launch.

The GeoEye II was launched to conduct detailed surface scans of the Mun. Approximately 42 minutes into the operation, mission control reported critically low power aboard the satellite. Shortly after communication was lost with GeoEye II. Investigations are still ongoing as to the cause of the power loss, initial imaging from ground based telescopes appear to show the full deployment of the solar panels.

Fairing ejection

Satellite after transfer burn, solar panels are deployed and in full exposure, just not generating any power???

Following this failure, the satellites Minmus counterpart, GeoEye III, has been delayed while Chief Engineer looks over the specs.
