What I'm going for here is essentially what I did in KSP today, with plot. So without further ado:

Chapter 1

or how I learned to stop worrying and love the probes

Four-hundred and fouty-five parts totaling at over one hundred tonnes sits on the pad. The spacebar is pressed.

What are all of those objects?

Why are there so many?

This is a mission to orbit every single celestial body that can be orbited.

Sixteen, one for each body.

And now it is in a stable orbit! Deploy forst probe.

This is a daring mission to go from kerbin orbit to kerbin orbit. NEXT!!!

This is a simple mun satalite. NEXT!!!

And this will be a minmus sattalite. The rest will need to be deployed at the right launch window.

Both the munbound and minmusbound probes preform thier intercept burns.

Glamerous naming ceremony.

And the Mun Ion Probe is in a stable orbit!

That's it! Feedback welcome!

That's an ambitious project .

I have a couple questions on your probe design....

1. What's with the funky arrangement of solar panels? Where you've got 2 in the same place, normally one will overlap the other and keep it from working.

2. Are all these probes identical? If so, you might have problems from Dres outwards. At Duna, solar panels produce only about 50% what they do at Kerbin, only about 10% at Dres, and less than 5% at Jool.

There's one answer to both: I somehow messed up symetry in the VAB, so even at kerbinthe probes use up some battery power to burn. Fortunatly, they all have so much battery power that even the Eeloo-bound probe should have enough power to make the insertion burn at night.

Going to try using Imgur albums, please post your thoughts.
