Duna Space Program.

[ricardoost]

Hello everyone my name is Ricardo, English is not my language so I apologize for any error.

Well what I want to do is create a space program to explore Dune, I want to recreate probes to take the first photographs, send landers to study the planet rovers to look for traces of life, and eventually a manned mission will also improve equipment gradually to simulate technological advancement.

I count on the support of you I hope you enjoy and please have criticism or suggestions speak.

I will post the first mission that had as objective take Dune photographs as well as to test on its atmosphere.

It started with the end of the exploration of the moon, several private space agencies were after new business, among them a small agency called Kerbal space and tecnology (KST). During a meeting of agency directors to discuss the company's future director Robert Kerman made a suggestion.

!!!Explore Duna!!!

Everyone was scared mostly because nobody did it, and no one have no information About planet.

After hours of discussion it was decided to send a probe that will take pictures and examine the planet's atmosphere, if something went wrong every mission would be canceled, so the best engineers and scientists began working on the probe and two years later was ready.

The probe was named "Discovery".

Within two and a half years the probe would be launched.

He began count 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 launch.

three minutes later there was the separation of the first stage and the second drive.

Once the probe was in the dune path, the engines turned off the fairings have been ejected and the probe separated from the rocket.

After 242 days the probe was nearing Duna.

And finally came the pictures of Duna.

And Ike.

Data from the magnetometer:

a very week magnetic field indicates that Duna's core solidified long ago, allowing its atmosphere to be largely stripped away and blasting the surface with intense solar radiation.

tomorrow has more.

Very nice report, but I believe this belongs in mission reports sub forum.

Also, the thread has been moved to Mission Reports.
