Recommended Posts

Kerbonauts! Your #KSP2WeeklyChallenge is.... Complete the Jool 5!

 

* Primary goal: Launch a single-Kerbaled mission (only 1 spacecraft may depart Kerbin's SOI, but it can be built in Kerbin orbit) that passes through the SOI of all 5 of Jool's moons at least once before returning to Kerbin

* Secondary goal: Same as primary, but land a probe on each of Jool's moons (the probes don't have to return)

* Jeb-level goal: Same as secondary, but plant flags on Bop and Pol

* Val-level goal: Plant flags on all 5 moons of Jool in one mission before returning safely to Kerbin

Prepare for an outrageously amount of screenshots!

About the heavy lifter structure... notice the stupidity of adding the two manned ships in line in the center instead of on top of the two tanks! That cost me a second trip to Vall because its probe was on the botton of the maned ones:

Lift off and getting ready to the trip...

In orbit:

Also, when orbiting kerbal, I added a center tank in the middle that was essential to land in Kerbin because I forgot to add parachutes and I landed with empty tanks :D

Dropped the middle tank when it was empty in my way to Jool:

First stop, Tylo to drop first probe and gravity assistance maneuver:

Now let's go to Laythe and Vall (btw, Vall was only used to get to Bop)

I guess it's still a bug... energy is depleted but as you can see, sun is hitting the solar panels... hopefully someday they will fix it. If you load the game the energy is filled.

As I said, I had to use Vall to go to Bop because Bop and Pol probes were on top of it :D

And flagged... that's a very Kerbal picture right there!

Time to go back home:

Time to say goodbye one last time:

And, because I forgot the parachutes, it cost me 4 engines:
