It took some time but I finally was successful. Going to try again with a higher velocity

Great job! I assume your craft is between 1-5 tons because of the solar panels. Because of this there are much more changes on Dimorphos' orbit as it's heavier.

I've completed the challenge! It was quite fun (:


Edit: fixed the embed link!

Nice. Liked how you somehow found a way to do the Cubesat, I couldn't do that so that's impressive

Do you think that any submission tops you in any way?

Oh yeah, quite a few here, @N9vaivie and you tend to make some nice cinematic videos. 

My probe was smaller than I wished I made it. So it didn't make that much of a dent in the orbit. Something that I wished I did.

Here it is. See attached screenshot image gallery. Sorry about the graphical glitch. The Parallax rendering being used don't seem to work with Linux graphics for me.

My DART satellite features a camera deployment for versimilitude. In my first attempt I had unknown tracking off so I missed. Got it on my second try.

I tried my hand at making a video - which ive never done before - so its of questionable quality; hopefully the craft itself makes up for it. I tried to make the DART as close to real as i could, including engine gimbal, the cool way the panels roll out and the LICIACube. First forum post too!

I usually play heavy modded so this challenge was a fun change of pace. Ignore the fps issues/lack of visual mods, im on a laptop :)

 

Edit: hopefully fixed embed link
