TheKspEngineer Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) Day 0 Spoiler Bobgel and Bill landing next to the rover. (There are no launch photos because when I first tried to land pre killed it and my last save was in orbit around kerbin so I cheated the lander to high Minmus orbit. I think that this is acceptable since I almost landed the first time, and this lander is more than capable of it) Setting up Ground Zero flag. The crew checking the rover's systems... ...before watching the view in the OCSA (Outside Crew Sitting Area). Spoiler The second crew lifting off on an Aphrodite-4, with the already separated boosters in the bottom centre. Boosters SEP. Apollo is orbital. Minmus capture burn. First landing burn. Second landing burn viewed from Artemis. (The lander pair is named Artemis&Apollo) Apollo has landed.

TheKspEngineer Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Trip 1 There was not too much interesting things on the route or I was too focused on driving the rover. The river likes to slide but doesn't like to stop. I collected lowlands and Midlands science. Map update: Spoiler Flag map Bit crappy route map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKspEngineer Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 Trip 2&3 Spoiler Going down on the side of Flying Peak. Doing science in the flats biome. After that stop I continued to the next flag but I crashed into a rock at 40m/s. The rover started to roll and 2 of the 5 solar panels got destroyed. Fortunately I had a quick shave after the science so I reloaded that. Planting Flagpole2. Spoiler Crusing at 50m/s on the flats. Planting flag 3.

I think that this is acceptable since I almost landed the first time, and this lander is more than capable of it I'm still a bit confused as to _why_ you want BD Armoury for an Elcano mission, but: as I understand it, you were in orbit around Minmus (point A), you tried to land, the Kraken struck, your last save was in Kerbin orbit, so you Alt-F12ed it back to the orbit you were in at point A? ETA: if so, I'm going to say it's OK this time, if technically against the rules, but please don't do it again. I'm afraid I didn't really realise you were waiting for an answer before continuing - the forum yoyoing has made things difficult.

TheKspEngineer Posted Saturday at 02:39 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 02:39 PM (edited) Trip 4,5,6,7 Spoiler Planting flag 5. Flag 6. It is literally just flat. Descending down a hill to the next waypoint. Trying to collect a green sandstone near flagpole7. Flag 7 (if you don't get it it's project hail Mary). Flag 8. It's kraken because the waypoints name was something about a kraken. Rover is in stay configuration.

TheKspEngineer Posted Tuesday at 07:03 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 07:03 AM Trip 8 Spoiler Going uphill from Kraken's lowlands. You can already see our target surface feature on the top left. Clinging the rover into the rock so it doesn't slip down the hill. Enjoying the view. Flag 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
