Sampa Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Ok, recently, Voyager275 and I have challenged each other to a Space Race (exact goal to be decided later). To make things interesting, we are going to start out small, we are NOT allowed to use craft or rockets we have previously built, 30 days between launches, and reporting will differ between us. Each one of us will represent the US and one of us will represent the Soviet Union in the way we represent. First launches are scheduled for tomorrow.We ask that you please pm either Voyager275 or myself of your intention to join. Those who have joined already are exempt from this rule. Also, we have decided to pair you off into a 1v1 races. Edited October 6, 2015 by Sampa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager275 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 FIRST SATELLITE! Horizon 1Today Horizon 1 became the first satellite in Kerbin Orbit. PE:116,567 AP:258,530Horizon 1 also broke the hearts of many sci-fi fans. There is no air in space, and the rocket needed more power than a cannon to reach orbit.

waterlubber Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 It seems to me like Sampa was doing Soviet-style but you mentioned Kapitalism. Explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampa Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) We decided to switch the kind of satellites for fun!btw, Tiros 1, Kerbin's first weather satellite is in orbit.This satellite was launched aboard the very successful Astro II booster to an Apoapsis of 110 km on a 50 degree incline. it is expected to serve as a primary form of meteorology and better weather tracking for years to come.

Voyager275 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 First Mun ProbeTraveler 1 was sent towards the Mun. Unfortunately, a incorrect burn caused it to miss the Mun. It then fell back towards Kerbin and burned up. It did flyby the Mun and got what was named a "free return trajectory"- - - Updated - - -The probes planned tomorrow will be Traveler 2-4, and maybe a surprise mission.
