BigStar Aerospace Mission Agency (Give me your own personal missions to fly)

[BigStar Aerospace]

Welcome to BigStar Aerospace! Here we will gladly fulfill nearly any mission of any sort! In order to apply for a mission, we first need these parameters:

What will be the advance payment for the mission?  It must be a minimum of 25,000 Kredits, this money will be devoted to development of whatever is being built. If you don't give me an advance payment I will just pay myself 50,000 to 100,000 Kredits automatically.

Mission type: What type of mission will it be? A simple 'drop it in a 80Km orbit and call it a day'? Or a complicated 'land this lander on Duna around these coordinates'? 

Does it need any specific parts?

Mission specifications: What will be the purpose of this mission? Top secret orbital 'weather satellite' meant to take pictures of your evil neighbors backyard nuclear reactor? Or do you want us to land some of your kerbonauts on the surface of the Mun?

Whatever I am launching on a rocket will automatically be doubled in worth for there to be a profit for me.

Rocket It Might Fly On: 

Nova-II-2
Cost: 158,000 Kredits per launch
The Nova-II-2 is the basic two stage variant of the Nova-II, this was the first variant designed in the Nova-II family, that is made for basic satellite launches to a low 80Km.
LKO (80km) payload Capacity: 24,300 Kilograms (24.3 tonnes)

Nova-II-2-2L
Cost: 370,000
The Nova-II-2-2L is a version of the Nova-II that is almost like three Nova-II’s strapped together, this powerful rocket has the most tonnage to anywhere out of Kerbin’s SOI allowing for large payloads such as landing a large rover on Duna.
LKO (80km) Payload Capacity: 46,000 Kilograms (46 tonnes)

Nova-II-2-2S
Cost: 203,000
The Nova-II-2-2S is the first Nova-II-2 variant boosted by SRBs, the two Thoroughbreds on the side of the first stage core produce an extra 3030.434 kilonewtons of thrust on the side, increasing the lifting capacity to LKO by 20,250 kilograms.
LKO (80km) Payload Capacity: 44,550 Kilograms (44.55 tonnes)

Qlink, my telecom business, wants you to put some relay satellites in keostationary orbit. Since I don't know which difficulty level you're aiming for, here's three missions for you, in increasing order of difficulty:

1. Put a single satellite in keostationary orbit.

2. Put a constellation of satellites in keostationary orbit. The constellation should consist of at least three satellites that are equidistant around Kerbin. To reduce costs all satellites should be launched on a single rocket.

3. Do 2, but using nothing but solid rocket motors.

As to the accuracy of your orbits: inclination should at most be 0.1 degree, PE and AP should be within 1 km of each other and the orbital period T should be within 10 seconds of Kerbin's sidereal rotation period. You'll receive a bonus if inclination is exactly 0 and deviations of PE, AP and T are within 100 meters and 1 second, respectively.

Hello new customer, do you have a specific set of design parameters for these satellites?

Hello new customer, do you have a specific set of design parameters for these satellites?

1. A relay antenna with a power equivalent or better than the RA-2 relay antenna from the stock game
2. A way of controlling their attitude that does not consume propellants, in order to prolong its useful life
3. A way of generating its own power
4. An RCS system for fine attitude and orbit control
5. A liquid fuel engine for bigger orbit adjustments
6. Systems 5 & 6 should have a combined delta-v of 200 m/s or better
7. In addition to the 200 m/s maneuvering delta-v, satellites should have enough propellant reserves to dispose of the satellite in a graveyard orbit at least 100 km above keostationary orbit at the end of its useful life

Cost per satellite should not exceed $5000, while the cost of the launch vehicle - excluding satellites - should not exceed $10000.

Please be aware that we are also looking at other launch providers, as well as the possibility of developing the satellites and launch vehicle in-house. Of course, we will take into consideration your quoted price as well as any additional services you can offer us in our decision whether to grant you the contract.

[BigStar Aerospace]

Sounds good, I will stream the development of these satellites later today around 6 to 8 PM Mountain Time. I need to ask a moderator first if I can self promote my channel on an undisclosed website. If I have to cancel, I apologize, I will tell you as soon as possible.

Try making an H-II and an H-II trasnfer vehicle, launched to Mun/Minmus. The H-II must land, fully fueled, without refueling, on the surface of one of Kerbin's moons.

[Kerb24]

I have order. I want at space station capable of housing 5 Kerbals, that can generate power, has enough batteries to not run out of power on the dark side of Kerbin, and has 3 science experiments. The station should be put into a 75Km circular polar orbit, within 1 Km max deviation for Periapsis and Apoapsis. and a max deviation of .2 degrees for inclination.

[BigStar Aerospace]

Perfect, I will be streaming the development of both on my Twich account (BigStar Aerospace) in 27 minutes!

Can I ask what an H-II vehicle is?

[Akagi]

Standard japanese launch vehicle

launcher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-IIA

transfer vehicle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-II_Transfer_Vehicle

Is there a specific scientific payload that you would like us to deliver to the Mun or Minmus? And you are lucky that I am going to make the launch vehicle because I need more launch vehicles. I am also going to make a version of the transfer vehicle that will gather the scientific data from space stations in order to land it back on Kerbin. Also, I am streaming right now if you want to help me develop those while we wait for viewers to pop in, that would be helpful!

Can't, but here's a good way to make one- no DLC!

This is actually similar to the rocket I am designing on Twitch right now that is based off of the Delta-IV rocket series, so all I will need for this is to add four Thoroughbreds and it will be a basic version of your rocket. Except mine has a mix of Atlas because for my first stage I use 2 Vector engines.
