I installed OPM and a bunch of mods so I wanted to try and send something out there. I made a simple probe and launched it. :D

This is the rocket I sent it with.

I didn't take any screenshots from the launch because I wasn't expecting to post it here :sealed: (I did the rocket screenshots after I finished the mission)

Performing the burn that will take me to an encounter...

Making a mid-course correction to adjust my trajectory...

Taking into account I could go closer to Sarnus, it gives me a pretty powerful gravity-assist, this could be useful when going to the further planets.

I noticed Custom Asteroids mod created an asteroid in orbit of Sarnus! (Or it got captured somehow)

And the relay network I set up in keostationary orbit around Kerbin so I could control the probe out there.

The final stretch takes a LONG time because of the low orbital velocity around Kerbol.

Hello Sarnus!

Setting a maneuver node... I noticed that I have a lot of extra delta-v, should I try going to Tekto or another planet?

Capture burn!

Orbit achieved.

Sun is distant and the energy I get is very little. I must take this into account for future missions by bringing extra batteries or RTGs

A few screenshots:

Eeloo orbit is closer than expected, but not enough to get an encounter.

Sooo this mission is done until I decide if I should go to one of the moons.:cool::D I'm enjoying the OPM
