Voyagers 1 and 2

[The Raging Sandwich]

This is my first mission challenge. For this, the only mod you'll need is the Outer Planets mod which adds Sarnus (Saturn), Urlum (Uranus), Neidon (Neptune), and Plock-Karen (Pluto-Charon). The goal of this challenge is to recreate the classic NASA Voyager missions. 

Background:

Voyagers 1 and 2 were probes NASA launched in 1977. Their goal was to visit all of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) without using any fuel whatsoever after launch. The two probes used gravity assists from each planet they visited to slingshot to the next planet. Voyager 1 did not go to any other planets as it flew by Saturn. Voyager 2 did visit the two other planets, however. In 1989, Voyager 2 left Neptune and reached the end of the mission.

The Mission:

Your goal is to build the two Voyager probes and recreate the mission as closely as possible to the real thing. You must visit Jool, Sarnus with Voyager 1. You must also visit Jool, Sarnus, Urlum, and Neidon with Voyager 2. Remember, no fuel was put into either of the Voyager probes. Recreate the two probes as closely as possible. 

Make sure to comment if you succesfuly completed the mission or if you have any questions.

For further information, you can go onto nasa.gov and look at the information about Voyagers 1 and 2.

Good luck!

To win you must comment on how you did it and show me snapshots.

You could also do a "Voyager 1-A", which should fly by Plock-Karen. Also, the Voyager probes did have fuel; a monopropellant tank, and used its attitude control thrusters for trajectory correction maneuvers as well.

It seems virtually impossible to do this without fuel... You'd need a pretty advanced method for setting up all the gravity assists... I don't think the conics in KSP will let you see beyond like 3 SOIs...

The Voyagers had hydrazine attitude adjustment thrusters BTW. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_1

I do not know who you are sir but between the fact that you cited wikipedia and that your name and profile picture are that of a character from Archer I know that you are a good man
