Vanamonde Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) (Not the first to do it, I know, but I'm excited.) I shot off the experimental XRc Duna on a bad launch window, because I didn't know if it was going to make it anyway. The approach and intercept took around 1200 days (in a 1-man capsule: ouch!) to arrange, but approach I did: I deployed the chutes, not knowing if they'd be enough to get me through the thin atmosphere safely: But they did. And so Matlie Kerman became the first Kerbal to set foot on Duma, and the first Kerbal to land on another planet in a ship able to take off again. (Jeb is currently awaiting rescue on Eve, having bravely volunteered to take what was essentially a manned atmosphere probe on a one-way trip.)

John F. Kerman Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 @Enture did you add those onboard camera titles afterwards or is that part of the mod? looks neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enture Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 @Enture did you add those onboard camera titles afterwards or is that part of the mod? looks neat.Thanks! No, those are just regular screenshots (although some of them were made using the Fixed Camera mod) edited afterwards in Photoshop/Gimp/Pixelmator/etc... the text is also added afterwards, using the same programs.Note that the idea isn't from me, but from GaBeRuN, who posted some wonderful pictures a couple of pages back, and details the modifications he likes to make! I merely used the same process he was using, and applied it to my screenshots... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enture Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) The Vingilot spacecraft, designed to carry 3 Kerbals in Eve orbit (and back!), is finally ready for its first mission. This will be Kerbalkind's first attempt at a crewed interplanetary flight! •The (slightly overpowered) launcher on the pad:•The Vingilot during an LKO test flight; the inflatable hab module is designed to provide the crew with enough habitable space during this long-duration mission, and will be jettisoned in a decaying Evian orbit moments before the Trans-Kerbin Injection burn.PS: @GaBeRuN, very nice pics!

I thought you could only dock with the decoupler thingies, also are those ports from nova's pack, or ExPI stations pack? And what other mods do you use in those pictures?
