Joining the kerbal Spaceprogram!

[Starlight]

I had lots of fun with the demo, so decided to buy this game. I was pelasantly suprised seeing how much more content the game had compared to the demo! A truly pleasant suprise. Beent rying to launch a satellite in orbit and managed to do successfully so today! Named it *The Herald of the Space Age* Here's a vew from it:

Got it in a near circular orbit, thanks to the ion engine attached to it. I really like that engine for small course-corrections. Next projects are to bring a satellite in polar orbit & another in a geostationair orbit.

I do have a little question, currently the second stage(debris) orbits Kerbin as low as 30 km, will it eventually get enough drag & crash, or will it keep orbiting? Has completed two orbits so far.

Also a big cheer for the developers of this game, they managed to offer a wonderful & playable early acces game!

30km is a bit low. im afraid its gonna crash, eventually. I even managed to fly a plane as high as 27km. I usually set myself a 75km limit, that i make sure im always over. Your 97km is way enough though, no problems there

That's good news It's not serving a purpose now, so not meant to stay up.

Cheers, I was proud of this, my first near circular orbit, only a few hundred meters difference from AP & PE. I could get things in orbit in the demo, but it was in elliptical orbits.
