[0.17] I visit all planets and moons

[MOhon]

Well, I think I visit all planets and moons.

This is my legacy:

Planet 1: Moho

Planet 2: Eve

Eve moon: Gilly

Planet 3: Kerbin (our planet)

Kerbin moon 1: Mun

Kerbin moon 2: Minmus

Planet 4: Duna

Duna moon: Ike

Planet 5: Jool (seen from space)

Jool moon 1: Laythe

Jool moon 2: Vall

Jool moon 3: Tylo

Jool moon 4: Bop

Congrats! Now try doing it WITHOUT MechJeb. I think MechJeb really just makes this game a rocket-contruction simulator.

very nice, im currently working on finding all anomalies

@Cthulufaic: I think mechjeb makes the game much more accessible, I use it all the time.

without mechjeb i'd need to send several crafts to each planet to locate all anomalies, this way i send one which has 6 rovers for exploring moons and planets

Congrats. very nice pics!

If I was ever going into space - Id make damn sure I had a computer doing calculations >.> But that's just me (I spent around 5 hours trying to land on Duna without it lol...)

Yes, I used MechJeb, but only as a tool for guidance, maintain paths, etc... as does the ASAS. MechJeb provides data that are already there but they are hard to calculate. To land always do myself.

Furthermore, in missions to moons and asteroids are going directly without MechJeb, only with ASAs.

Also, I'm considering a new design of ships that carry only stock parts to travel to the planets. I called "Taurus". By now I've gotten Kerbin orbit at 300km, reaching orbit Duna and Duna orbit at 300km, but I need just a bit of precision approach, and that is why I have not uploaded any photos belonging to the Taurus mission.

Ciao!!

I wish you luck and you find them all!!

If you need help, I think I can help you if you want.

Ciao!!

Well, It really shouldn't be that hard!

I'm sure you can get it if you try to reach Duna orbit when the phase between your theoretical Apoapsis and Duna orbit is approximately -135 °.

See photo:

When you scape Kerbin gravity, you can circularize your orbit. Warp time to phase between your theoretical Apoapsis and Duna orbit is approximately -135 °, and engage motors to reach Duna orbit. with some luck, you get your orbit will be captured by the gravity of Dune. If not, try with more or less degrees of difference, as needed.

Wow congrats! I've only been able to tame Kerbin, the Mun and a lucky encounter with Eve (but when I tried to EVA my kerbals were killed due to glitchy terrain)

You left the ship when you were still a lot of height?

Did you fall on the sea?

Well, I have the theory that to fall on Eve ice sea must be done at very low speed, if not certainly explode.

Ciao!!

[RogueMason]

I have the strategy planned out for a Duna landing, confirmed with a bit of assistance from MOhon's orbital diagram up there. So far, I have the ability to get to Mun, Minmus, and back from each with relative ease. The last time I tried to even get to Duna though, I got nowhere and decided to abort the mission after 3000 in-game days

Hopefully this time I'll have better luck

No I was landed on some solid purple bumpy terrain with the lander then when I EVA and climb down the ladder the Kerbal fell halfway into the ground and I try to get out and poof he dies. Happened with all 3 of the crew.

mmm... Well, you have persistent.cfg archive?

[Xellith]

My ship landed on Laythe.. and then when my kerbal got out he fell the rest of the 100+ meters to the ground and went splat ^^

[Alephzorg]

MOhon, what are those small thrusters you have at the bottom of your ships ? I don't remember seeing them anywhere before.

^ This.

Also, landing on a planet or moon isn't so hard... coming back, thats the tricky part. Personally I try not to leave any Kerbals stranded unless they've got a rover.

[A Fat Pokemon]

Never once used mech-jeb and also, great job I succesfully completed my mission on landing on everything about 2 weeks ago

Those spelling errors! >:(

[zapy97]

the funny thing is that eve was the easiest planet to get to for me

[Spades_Neil]

How in the HELL did you land safely on Moho?!

Every attempt I've sent there, even tiny probes, have burst into flames before reaching the surface!

[Pingonaut]

Congrats! Now try doing it WITHOUT MechJeb. I think MechJeb really just makes this game a rocket-contruction simulator.

What's wrong with using it to keep you on retrograde instead of doing it manually? If you can do it normally it's just a time saver.

Besides, it's not like IRL missions are done fully manually.

[MOhon]

MOhon, what are those small thrusters you have at the bottom of your ships ? I don't remember seeing them anywhere before.

Those thrusters are Durgun Capsule Engine "Mini Micro Kerlin Liquid Engine".

Search in forum and you can find it!

Well, is possible. I myself have all landed moons without MechJeb. Still, I don't like the feeling of descocontrol both flight and handling without him, and not knowing critical data as the actual height or initial weight of the ship, and other data.

In reality, the astronauts always have all the information at hand, computers do millions of calculations, etc.. If you tell them they have to make a flight with only a few stabilizers and four not entirely reliable indicators ... :)

I do this lands with cool motors. Durgun capsule engine "Mini Micro Kerlin Liquid Engine" is the best.

But it seems to other engines with lower temperature resistance is much more difficult. I have to try, I'll tell you!!
