Awaras Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Good lord, how many poor kerbals are now stranded on different planets with no hope of returning home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygun Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) So Far all unmanned flights. Two on the surface plus one satellite in orbit.I was temporarily caught by Duna's moon SOI on the way in, but I forgot to take pictures.Unfortunately the satellite mapper isn't working yet for 0.17 or I would have stayed a while and mapped it.Unmanned ProbeThis is Nomad; it's purpose is to collect any signs of life and to sterilize them for safe study at a later date.Unmanned Hab Unit Edited September 21, 2012 by Tommygun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatisthisidonteven Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Forgot to take pictures of my Eve landing, so I settled for an almost Sun landing (Traveling at 170km/s, slammed into the Sun's surface hard). The last picture is a result of my frustration at missing Jool. I continued to infinity instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggula Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 First landing on Duna, hopefully the picture will show. No idea how to add spoilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felsmak Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) A homesick Kerbal thinks of Kerbin as he looks at the sunset. But he will never get there.Another Kerbal stranded on Laythe. Anyone else who finds Laythe a bit eerie? The blue seas and the sky makes it look like Earth or Kerbin, but when you look at the land it's completely dead, and seeing Jool in the sky further reminds you that you are far away from home. It kinda looks like a Dalàpainting, too. Edited September 21, 2012 by Felsmak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlternNocturn Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I wish I took pictures of my Duna rescue mission. (Spoilers: They all returned home safely.) I did take a lot of pictures of other awesome stuff though.Here, have an album: http://imgur.com/a/6V7MU#0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excalibur Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 As you can see Moho was much more difficult to get to in 0.17x1. It orbited the Sun between 1.5 and 1.8 Mm. Shame as I miss the challenge, you could just get there with chemical rockets (before the NTR was introduced). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

segaprophet Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I've managed to derp one of my Cicada RSAT-II LRM satellites into a 75km polar orbit around Duna. Now that we have a commlink, a rover mission is in order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Znath Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I replaced the engine from my standard launcher with the new nuclear thermal rocket engine. The result was that out of my initial 4 tanks of fuel I had when I left orbit. I landed on Mun, lifted off, and returned with 2 fuel tanks left! Usually I'm down to one half a tank or less!The landing didn't go well because I had too much fuel that the engines couldn't burn it off in time. I'm hoping that the extra fuel will mean I can use this design to get to the other planets. Hey at least the nuclear engine didn't break, so we saved some cash this time.
