Jool5 (1st attempt, picture heavy)

[PrvDancer85]

Hey there,

this will be my first thread of that kind and it will be mainly pictures, if something awesome happens i'll try to catch it. I play on ps4 and dont have a pc so getting the pictures on imgur can be a little hassle which is also the reason for the thread, its just better to handle for me that way, i hope nobody minds. I will Edit to add more stuff per playsaison.

As to read in the titel the mission will go to jool with the intention to land on all joolian moons. It wont be hyperefficent or fancy in any way, just 5 kerbals fired with a big rocket.

This mission report will serve as proof for the jool5 challange if successful.

871t, 410k Funds and 147 parts

We start with light, thats good, i guess

Sidebooster seperation
