Kerbin K STAR Challenge. (SAR Mission)


Recommended Posts

K-STAR ( Kerbal Search Team And Rescue ) are in desperate need of a rescue vehicle. Although Kerbals have easily been able to get into orbit, to the Mun, Minmus and beyond, there is still a disturbing lack of craft able to return our beloved heros back to KSP if they splash down in a distant ocean or mountain range. Many kerbals have spend weeks at sea or living off the land in their long trek back to base. We can no longer allow this to happen.

Requirements.

You must take off from Kerbin, pick up your lost crew and return them back to Kerbal Space Centre alive.

Kerbals to be rescued must be on the ground or in the water of Kerbin.

Mods are allowed, but do remember to list them.

Remember to take screenshots or video of the takeoff, the pickup, and landing back at KSC with the 'flight results' at the end.

Don't forget to name your creation!

At this stage, you'll have to strand your own kerbals, there is no persistence file to make it easier yet.

Mercy level recovery: - Bring back one kerbal in a single trip.

Gemini level recovery: - Bring back two kerbals in a single trip.

VTOL Elite: Rescue kerbals while still hovering in the air.

I just had a lander hover perfectly above the ocean before it ran out of fuel, I was hoping it would float but on impact I was just left with the command capsule. If I can just get my second lander (with a crew tank) to hover the same way and put a loooong ladder on it, we\'ll be set!

Also, only just found out Kerbals can swim.

Thunderbirds FTW!
