N_Danger Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The first attempts at going interplanetary started with a launch to Duna. Spoiler And while looking in the tracking station at some near asteroid encounters, I found that Kerbin acquired a new friend. Then off to Eve. Which goes well. The probe made orbit and sent back some science. The Duna probe not so much. We lost contact well before it got there (My antenna tech is not good enough for Duna. Apparently) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Emigrant Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Hey all Kerbonuts. Today I sent some Kerbals to the Mun. And got to see a Kerbin rise from the Munar Module ME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaliDitzy Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Hello! I have not posted here in about two years, but I've started another science save, and I'm excited to show off it's progress as I continue to advance. Recently, I manually piloted a probe mission to the moon, I had no SAS so it was a large pain to manually adjust reaction wheel authority so that I could get the results I wanted. Even in the end, I completely forgot to pack more than a Science Jr.... I am also still on a potato, every launch is a slideshow, and that's okay, for now. When KSP2 comes out I imagine I am going to suffer a lot more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vl3d Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) Well... just finished my first interplanetary mission to Duna in Kerbalism (Simplex). Did a lot of preparations, got there safely, even had the luck to land during an eclipse. Spoiler Got back in orbit, successfully docked, waited for the transfer. I managed to send the crew back on their way to Kerbin. These screenshots will tell you the rest of the story of my heroes: Padous and Bill. Spoiler I brought them back home. I brought them.. back.. home.. Edited January 29 by Vl3d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Emigrant Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Hi all Kerbonuts. Sent 3 ponies to the Mün. They had a nice ride there. Landed in a stable spot. Romp around for a while. Then mission control said "Hay, time to go home". They herd and corralled themselves back and got back in the saddle. They had a good coach. They were chomping at the bit to go. Didn't a stick or carrot. Going home photo taken by the docking-tunnel-polaroid. ME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuddieD2015 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) I can't believe it flies! I unlocked supersonic and high altitude flight today and made this. I thought for certain it would be flaming panels on the runway but it took off right out of the box without having to go back in for adjustments. It took very little runway for it to fly, which surprised me since it weighs 12 tons. Edit: It's not supersonic. Mach 0.83 is as fast as I could push it.

Hotel26 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Found an aircraft of unidentified marque attached to a munar space station and determined to pilot it down to Tolstoy base on the Mun's equator. Figured out it was a Delta, from October 2020 but no Pilot's Handbook available... Foolishly attempted a night landing anyway. Crew (2) survived but engine stacks were destroyed while cart-wheeling in lo-grav after hooking a wheel. Engineers are going to beef up the roll-axis RCS for me...

I'm sorry, but that's wholly unacceptable. We had a meeting at the SWiS hangar, and that beauty deserves to go Mach 2.8. Minimum. So we tweaked it a bit. Edited January 31 by swjr-swis forum oopsie?

I will have Bill work up the blueprints and get one of Jeb's clones ready for a test flight! EDIT: @swjr-swis You provided a craft file also! Back to canning beans, Bill!

jimmymcgoochie Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Behold, the Tourist Knocker-Outer Mk2! As cheap as possible, shortest flight time possible, lands back on the pad for 100% recovery rates, glowing reviews from the (slightly wobbly-kneed) passengers, job done.

Cavscout74 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 My new career has been making great strides - from exploring anomalies on Kerbin in low tech jets, to sending kerbals to Mun & Minmus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotel26 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) SPACE NEWS GAZETTE [next] I have been using Anion recently to perform some survey work on Kerbin and, after a long day, thought I'd take a short HET refresher checkride in Anion: [click + arrows = slide show] accelerating directly toward Minmus (46 Mm distant); reaching midpoint 12m after KSC departure with 23 Mm to go, now traveling at 76.5 km/s, then turning immediately retrograde to begin the deceleration phase; achieved capture 22m after KSC departure and then commenced the HET descent reaching a peak speed of 4.2 km/s; entering Low Minmus Orbit 29m after KSC departure. Experienced a little over 14g (propelled by 2 out of Anion's 3 engines) for almost the whole trip. If I recall correctly, it is actually safe to use all three engines on full throttle in deep space, but only if the power is ramped up and down smoothly with the throttles. Sudden application/removal is almost certain to shred the space plane. Credit to the whole team is due: Anion is Caerfinon's Latitude fitted with a 23rd-century anti-matter drive, the blueprints of which were leaked to me by Dr Swis. My only contribution is 6kg of sweat lost to labored breathing while piloting the machine. Edited February 2 by Hotel26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuddieD2015 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Today in KSP I discovered Murphy's Thirteenth Law of Duhnamics. I stranded 3 sets of Kerbals on Mun. Since I only have 6, I guess a probe will be their savior. If I can land it better than the others. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuddieD2015 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I have not actually started playing with it yet but I installed Real Solar System today in a second game instance. It should be interesting considering the greatly larger amounts of dV required. I want to see if I can crash Apollo 11 into the Moon as effectively as I can crash Kerbal X into Mun.

Blufor878 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) I'm going through and refining some of my old craft files. Most notably my Fafnir rocket (an early stock attempt at creating a Falcon 9 style rocket), and Kitty Hawk (a standalone variant of a rocket originally built exclusively for one of my manned spacecraft). Except for some flavor stuff like conformal decals and modular launch pads, these rockets are pretty much stock/restock compatible.
