good luck out there

[sss]

I might try it.

[Awaras]

So you just have to orbit the sun and not return for 10 mil?

[Awaras]

OK, I\'m game. Here you go:

Mission: Orbit the sun

Craft: Kerbol orbiter

I assume the command pod is free? Since you did not list it in the prices?

Components used:

1 Command pod - ? Kennies

1 ZO2 tank main - 5,000 Kennies

2 ZO2 solar panels - 40,000 Kennies

3 Large fuel tanks - 4,500 Kennies

3 Small LF Engines - 6,000 Kennies

3 SRB\'s - 3,000 Kennies

Total: 58,500 Kennies (+ whatever the command pod costs, I hope it does not cost over 40,000...)

Mission report (spoilered because of large pictures):

I waited until around midday to launch.

Took off using the \'overheat and blow\'em up\' method of SRB decoupling.

After reaching around 30 km altitude I set Smart A.S.S. to \'surf\', HDG 90, PIT 45.

I kept burning until I made escape velocity:

Then it was a long wait to reach my periapsis on the other side of Kerbol (Sun)

During this time I had to decrease time warp to 1x several times to re-position my ship so the solar panels are always in the sun.

After reaching periapsis, I burned prograde until I raised my apoapsis well above the orbit of Kerbin:

Again, I waited until I reached apoapsis, and then burned prograde until my projected path reconnected with the Kerbin SOI:

And again the waiting...

Approaching Kerbin:

After reentering Kerbin SOI, my periapsis was around 70km. I burned retrograde to reduce it under 30 km.

Home sweet home:

Reentry:

Splashdown! I used Mechjeb landing autopilot to land.

Splashing down ripped off the solar panels:

Final mission data:

Overall, I made over one and a half orbits around the sun before landing back on Kerbin.

I might try it.

okay when are you going to do it.

[dylan1234]

So you just have to orbit the sun and not return for 10 mil?

yes

[Monkthespy]

yes

A sun orbit is just going straight up. The best way to do it is being able to return, which is INCREDIBLY difficult.

yes the command pod is free [so is the parachute

Actually, with patched conics it\'s pretty easy.

So do I get 10 million? What next?

well done ! how long did it take you, under 48 hours I hope

[Awaras]

In real time? One hour, hour and a half... I was bored.

[dylan1234]

So do I get 10 million? What next?

yes you get ten million kennies. next you can choose when to do your 2nd turn this week [remember max 3 turns per week].

[Awaras]

yes you get ten million kennies. next you can choose when to do your 2nd turn this week [remember max 3 turns per week].

But... this craft can do all of your missions except MAYBE landing on the mun and returning... Heck, if we had a mars, this craft would probably have enough delta v to get there and land. What\'s the point?

[dylan1234]

yes real time

[dylan1234]

But... this craft can do all of your missions except MAYBE landing on the mun and returning... Heck, if we had a mars, this craft would probably have enough delta v to get there and land. What\'s the point?

use a different ship for each mission

[dylan1234]

A sun orbit is just going straight up. The best way to do it is being able to return, which is INCREDIBLY difficult.

I know it\'s difficult returning but the mission name was orbit the sun not orbit the sun and return

[dylan1234]

But... this craft can do all of your missions except MAYBE landing on the mun and returning... Heck, if we had a mars, this craft would probably have enough delta v to get there and land. What\'s the point?

maybe it could get to mars but it\'s not a big ship in real life that ship wouldn\'t be able to do more than just get into LKO [low-kerbin orbit].

[Awaras]

maybe it could get to mars but it\'s not a big ship in real life that ship wouldn\'t be able to do more than just get into LKO [low-kerbin orbit].

In real life it probably couldn\'t even get to orbit, but that\'s not the point, is it?

[dylan1234]

In real life it probably couldn\'t even get to orbit, but that\'s not the point, is it?

well no that\'s not the point.

[Volt]

Oh please don\'t use those pointless spoiler tunnels. That\'s just irritating.

[dylan1234]

Oh please don\'t use those pointless spoiler tunnels. That\'s just irritating.

Fine

[dylan1234]

Oh please don\'t use those pointless spoiler tunnels. That\'s just irritating.

Do you want to try one of my missions and make a rocket which will do it

[dylan1234]

Okay it\'s the second week since this topic was put on. who\'s going to take the first turn out of three this week :)

[Twinky827]

Maybe people just don\'t want to play. There have been too many Mun campaigns lately. So please stop spamming your thread and bumping it.
