My Voyager 1 Mission Details

[cocomoe1002]

This is Voyager 1. It is amazing how much this space craft has achieved. So far Voyager 1 has taken me to the Mun, And Minmus. By using there gravity i have boosted the speed of the little space craft into my record zone. Believe it or not but my Voyager 1 is racing through space at 11 miles a second! Feel free to say if u have reached a highr speed and tell us how? With What? How did u start? All those things to prove that you reached a higher speed. My next record i would like to set is when 0.17 comes out i am going to build another Voyager 1 and then send it to Murs, and the new Gas gaint. By also using there gravity i will try to boost my speed into the ultra-record! I would like to achieve atleast 20 miles a second! Here is what my Voyager looks like:

This is were Voyager stands today, and also shows some extra information about the map and stuff. Also notice in the picture Voyager 1 was going at a line curved. this is how i plan to get to Duna (the new desert planet) in 0.17

To clarify i never hacked, and this mod doesn't have a infinate fuel hack. I did this becuase i was in the mood for a Voyager 1 scenario. The mod comes with the Sat. parts and thats it. If u want to download this mod to see its on one of Nova's threads. And also i like to do things farley, and not go lie in peoples faces that i did this with no hacks. So just to clarify

Not a bad likeness to it

As to going faster you could mod a rocket that doesn't use fuel and just leave it running..

Why would you use a mod to achieve that? Seems a little silly with all the other hacky bits you may as well mod in.

Science isn't about why.. its about why not..

I don't consider hacking infinite fuel to be a challenge, much less science; but I'm obviously not going to tell people how to play the game, the question was more out of curiosity.

On topic, what a lovely mission you've launched!

[Warringer]

Using a mod is not a challenge. Doing it the hard way is.

[sal_vager]

Some people don't play for the challenge, they just like to muck about and have fun, having fun is after all why we play computer games to begin with

So lets not turn this thread into a discussion about whether one should use add-on engines or not, agree?

[KAO]

I think the people in this thread are discussing whether to actually go in and edit the .cfg's so the thrust value would be something like 30,000

also, lovely probe, I'm actually thinking of recreating Cassini or Galileo

[Jon Tash]

@cocomoe1002 Nice probe you have there.

This is the kind of mission I will be doing when the planets comes out.

[christheman200]

Think I will attempt to beat your record in my next LP episode, tomorrow.

Any tips on flinging a ship up to that speed? the only time I have done anything like this was in my early KSP days and it was all by accident.

Well Here is how the mission went down... I launch the Voyager 1 and my main objective was to do a flyby of the moon. But then when the Mun flung me out and onto a kerbin flyby kerbin flung me out right into Minmus. I was so happY! i got to do 2 flyby's like the real Voyager but instead they were moons. after that Minmus flung me out into kerbin flyby again and then Kerbin flung me out even faster! and that is how i reached a speed of 11 miles a second.

Science isn't about why.. its about why not..

Just had to:

You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired.

nice im expecting you try my challenge when .17 comes

He he glad someone else got it

I've taken a ship or two out of Kerbol's SOI, but that was in a previous version. In the most recent version, I got a rocket to go closer than 2,000 KM of Kerbol, and was going over 100 miles per second. but why are we talking in miles? metric is bettter

i dont undrstand? the Kerbol that we all and love today has no actual surface of anykind or anything to porduce density or gravity The Kerbol that we know today is just a picture of a star that imites light across the Kerbal System?. But!?! IN 0.17 the Kerbol will have a surface... and i can only think of so many things poeple will do.. not only smart but just plain stupidness here are 2 pictures of what the sun will look like and the new sky that will be coming out in 0.17! also the mod i used for the voyager was made by nova.

In the free version, Kerbol has gravity.

In the paid version, Kerbol has gravity, and an invisible surface at about 4500km altitude.

ik that Kerbol had gravity. But it was just scientifcly wrong that with no body it coudn't produce any gravity or density? But in 0.17 this wont be a problem

Also nova said in future updates he will be adding solar flares in like 0.18 or 0.19.

When will u think docking will come out? im thinking 0.18

In 0.13 Kerbol is effectively a singularity and Black Holes have no surface, size, or shape but they are pretty hardcore on the gravity and density

So cool I spent most of last night doing the same although my craft dosn't look as good as your one, I got it to both moons and then sent it on a escape trajectory from the system, (Tracking station says its escaping the sun ) but the fastest I could get was 3000m/s, would love to launch another one once .17 hits as I can use all the other planets aswell to speed me up, really hoping someone dose a add-on like the fix cams that will taken random pics from the craft its on
