Cronus Exploration Initiative (Beyond Jool Challenges)


Recommended Posts

Welcome.

Until now, our sights were set on the stars far beyond Kerbol's reach, on the backs of your R&D department and World Firsts. But, one day, while looking at our pictures from the Kerman Telescope , something blue in the sky moved. Far beyond Jool, for that matter.

While very slow, we looked into it, sending some missions to enhance the telescope.

And we found entirely new worlds, from gas giants of wonder to desolate rocks.

So now, we have our sights set on the worlds not beyond Kerbol, but beyond Jool.

But, we don't quite have the funds to explore-explore them.

So, in a partnership, we'd like to have you explore these new worlds.

Mods allowed include:

Atomic Age

Restock

NFT suite.

Mods NOT allowed:

FFT (unless I say you can)

MechJeb2/MechJeb

Hyperedit

Points work like this

————

15 points for completing main objectives.

5 points for completing each side task.

————

Mission Set 1: Initial Exploration

Mission 1: Sarkin Surveyor (Easy)

Spoiler

Your first mission is to explore the new giant planet, Sarkin, and it’s moons.

You must:

Orbit  Sarkin, and fly-by Moach and Tyrant. (Needed)

Moach seems to be quite the odd world, and so a probe lander has been suggested. (Optional)

And the probe lander must  have an atmosphere analysis if you use a probe lander.

Exploring other moons is optional.

mfw i finish a moach mission and only complete one of the objectives

also, do the rover and the plane have to land as one craft, or can they be separately landed?

It must be one launch vehicle, but they can land separately.

That only happened when I dedcided to test a Moach lander as an LKO SSTO  and realised it had about 2700m/s left

If we're doing points, can we have the points for each objective? Otherwise it seems a little arbitrary.

actually, there are no side tasks, just musts to actually complete the mission, but I guess I'll add a extra points for having ore and scanners.
