KSP Grandmaster! (Land on every body of the Kerbal System!)

[zekes]

Rules: Simple. Land on all bodies of the Kerbal System (except jool and Sol of course).

-no mods

-no debug log

-must have a screenshot of all planets, landed (0 m/s). Ship can be damaged so long as the vessel is controllable still.

return is unnecesarry. Unmanned probes are ok.

what about information mods like KER or building mods like subassemely loader?

[bulletrhli]

Also, can we just have a large ship that sends out probes to each planet or do we have to physically visit them one by one with a vessel?

[kookoo_gr]

Here is my tour at the planets

Moho

Eve

Gilly

Kerbin

Mun

Beneath a Munar's arch legs

Minmus

Duna

Ike

Dres

Laythe

Vall

Tylo

Bop

Pol

Eeloo

Jool

I placed an extra probe at one of my ships at Jool and when aerobraking at Jool's atmosphere i released it.

All stock parts expect the ISA Mapsat mod i placed at the satellites to map the surface of the planets.

A side note the Tyllo landing was a real pain in the @$%# and i had to perform it 3 times. The first time was made with this lander

but the game kept crashing when i changed to the orbit map and back in order to take the screenshots (the rover + lander were inside the ground of Tyllo, not even restarting the game could fix this problem) and i had to perform the whole journey to Jooll form the beginning, unfortunately i didn't made any backups of my save file and the second time i had to cheat into orbit and perform the landing (too impatient), hence the images. But since the rules say no cheating or mods i ended the flight and made again the journey with a third lighter lander (at the pictures i posted above) and landed with no problem.

(the correct landing at Tylo)

The same thing happens at my Eello lander but i was lucky enough to take the screenshots when i landed and so i don't activate the flight from the tracking station. Also the ground area near the Tylo landing area and arch are buggy as hell and can flip your rover upside down even at 2 m/sec and hit invisible walls that stretch for tens of meters.

1) You can use as many ships as you want.

2) Only physycal mods (Mechjeb, hyperedit, modded fuel tanks and engines) are not allowed. Subassembely loader is great (i personally use it)

Also nice job kookoo_gr! Added!.

[kahlzun]

Do i get credit for my completion? Got eaten'd by the forum Kraken, but i think i have the pix around someplace..

[zekes]

I remember you. You are in.

so, no mechjeb, not even for aerobraking predictions?

damn, the Jool system is going to be quite a challenge to visit

[kookoo_gr]

actually it's easier than you think, just aim for a Jool periapsis at 120-125 km (i go for 123km) and you'll have a Jool orbit. Also when you enter the Jool system save the game so if and when you mess the aerobraking you can try again.

[zekes]

nope no mechjeb at all.

[bulletrhli]

Zekes, I have never done a challenge such as "grand" as this and I have a simple question. Do we use a mother ship that will get to every planet to drop a probe that will land or can we send multiple mother ships out. So, for example, a mother ship to Jool with enough probes to land on every moon but only have 1 orbital ship or do we have to send one for EVERY moon or planet?

[zekes]

no u can use as many or as few independently launched or mother ships as you want. doesnt matter, just get kerb made ships to all planets and moons.....

[bulletrhli]

Great! Well, I have not been to a LOT of places, and I will not be dedicating my time to the challenge, but over time, I will DEFINITELY participate as I slowly progress through the Kerbol system.

[Spartwo]

Spartwos quick loadless grandmaster

mun

minmus

(shortly after kelvis died of an unexpected jetpack accident)

duna

(I now have an intense hatred for duna,8 missions 6 explosions 1 landing 1immobility)

ike

(micro lander which detached from the lander slid 500m down a hill and stopped again)

eve

(very very outdated rover)

vall

(mk4 land with fuel to spare)

pol

(spent 5 minutes watching the thing slide down a hill)

bop

(the mission very nearly ended in disaster.about to begin final decent lowered the landing legs which clipped with the drive section splitting the ship in two removing the ASAS.with the ground relay destroyed I was forced to land on the drive sections engines.apart from the loss of scientific equiptment and lower signal strength the mission was a relative success.ps the lander is now on a kerbol escape trajectory.)

eeloo

(took sooo long to get there)

moho

(was able to get the lander back in orbit)

tylo

(this flag marks the completion of the grand tour)

I lost the images for these 3 to time.

Mechjeb is not a physical mod.
