Eeloo Mining Base Challenge

Eeloo Mining Base Details

Rules

• No cheats
• No mods
• No stock craft EDIT: (Not including stock parts)
• No taking other's pictures
• First to send your pictures wins.

 

EDIT:

Sorry for the confusion. The mining base must be able to convert the rock into the fuel using the parts in the game. The ore satellite uses the ore scanner.

 

When on Eeloo, take a screenshot and post it here. Also post a picture of the ore satellite.

Have fun! (P.S. Keep trying.)

You might like to check the Challenges guidelines. 

What is a mining base to you? What is an ore satellite? Are mods permitted? Where is your attempt? etc.

I am interested in this. You should really specify a way to tell who did best, so there can be competition.

Hi, and welcome to the forums.

Your challange's guidelines should be more set to show what exactly a Ore Scanner is, for example.

Also, you say no mods and no stock craft.

Do you mean those craft Squad gives us?

Otherwise we are stuck.

Seems simple enough.  Lets do this.  No idea what constitutes a good score, or if there's even a point system, so going to send any d*** thing I want.  Bill is going for a looooong ride!

I had fun with this, been a while since I had the patience to send something to Eeloo.  I was reminded of 4 items in this challenge. 

1) Test your miner on the launchpad.

2) You can't do an ore survey unless you attach an antenna

3) Fuel cells don't work with pure LF tanks, you have to include a mini tank of oxidizer somewhere.

4) LVN rockets can be offset into a lander nicely to keep 'em off the ground, but do NOT leave the shroud on! When it jettisons the shroud, your ship will completely disassemble.

Does it have to be launched from kerbin, and are mods allowed? I have the start of a minmus base setup in my youtube lets play and would work great once it is done for colonizing the kebol system.
