Community Manager Dakota Posted March 11 Community Manager Share Posted March 11 Last week was the anniversary of the Dawn spacecraft entering orbit around Ceres! To commemorate this mission, recreate it in KSP2 by sending a solar ion-powered probe to Dres! Primary: Capture a probe into orbit around Dres with one or more solar-powered ion engines. Secondary: Make one flyby of Duna on your way to Dres. Jeb: Eject your probe out of Kerbin's sphere of influence with a solid booster upper stage. Val: For extra realism, this ejection burn should be spin-stabilized and not use SAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroneer08 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 This sounds like fun! Haven't done it yet, but will definitely try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveman0 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Well, I'm going to consider this one as good as complete. There was no objective for wrestling with game breaking bugs, so I can say I did all of them as far as I'm concerned even if I had to use a teleport to complete the last capture. No way was I going to wait a day real time to complete that capture burn because thrust under warp was broken. I easily had the time to complete the capture burn even being limited to 20% thrust. It's a shame because it was otherwise a fun little challenge until the bug put a damper on the whole process. It was my first time using ion engines. I really could appreciate the massive dV they offer if I could count on them reliably working. I don't think I'll be using them again until the bug is certainly fixed. The mission was at least useful to me. I need to upgrade my satellites to all use the long range antenna for comms. Dres was the first on the list as I hadn't left a probe behind when I last visited.
