A mapping satellite i made!

[SpaceFanatic10]

Soooo,i made this mapping satellite,and i want to share it with the whole KSP community!

The satellite:

 

The rocket: (feel free to copy the satellite and the rocket,but dont forget to give credit)

 

Launch in 3..2..1

 

LIFTOFF!

 

SPACE!

 

LATER...

Yaaay,a successful orbit!

Look how much ore there is!

Just a quick tip, you might want to try a shallower ascent next time.  You should (ideally) have a AP of ~80km with a fairly circular trajectory that wraps most of the way around the planet (you might even see some PE before you start to circularize).  It takes WAY less fuel to launch a shallower trajectory then blasting upwardsish and then circularizing for a very long time.

If gravity turn (the mod) still works, grab it and do at least one launch to see the difference.  I still can't match GTs launch trajectory, but I try to.  My dream is to get to orbit on one burn, like John Glenn's flight in Mercury. Still trying.

Nice job with the rocket, @SpaceFanatic10.

Feels more like a mission remort than "General Discussion" about KSP, so I moved the thread. Hope you don't mind!

but,if i want to scan a planet,moon,it says i should have a 90-80 inclination orbit! Dont you see?

No difference. Gravity turn has nothing to do with inclination. Just start turning to the north, instead of east.
