KSP_KSSArgo_OnPad_zps8b9f3655.jpg

The KSS Argo on the pad, awaiting launch for my first asteroid redirect mission. The redirector is, alas, only 20% fuelled and will need two (or three?) other launches of supply ferries before it goes out to snag a rock. (I rather like the SLS parts; hefty, but not magic.)

Here's Argo in orbit and fuelled, preparing to enter a 3000x300km parking orbit. It took 3 refuelling missions to top off, with the 3rd tanker standing by to top up after this burn. I found I actually had a lot of fuel left over in the first stage and have re-jigged the craft to launch with about 40% fuel instead of the 20% load I used for Argo.

My first successful asteroid capture

Sent a robotic grappler to rendezvous and capture the asteroid, then place in a circular orbit around Kerbin. 'Grabber 02' has four beams with attachment points to provide a contained area for working within, and a rear docking ring for Kerbal visits and resupply.

Grabbed!

nabbed my first asteroid, a Class E behemoth! Even the combined thrust of 720kn was scarcely effective. I managed to grab it about a week before it would have crashed into Kerbin (lucky me :D)

Now dubbed "Kaio", it's going to serve as a testbed for asteroid activities, and later as a base.

here's an ion-tug designed to steer such objects out of harms way.

I have returned from a year's hiatus living amongst and studying the rare flora and fauna of Kerbin. To commemorate my return to office, I have created a monument to the one thing I missed most on my journey of exploration and contemplation.

The humble bagel.
