Succesful Launch of Hermes MKIV High Orbit Communications Satellite.

[Agricola]

After months of testing the multi billion high orbit communications satellite, the Hermes MKIV was put in a 1000km orbit above Kerbal today. This satellite is the largest single unmaned craft to be put into space to date at over 100 metres in length. The purpose of this mission is the beginning of a process to create a long range communications array for future deep space exploration amongst other things, which is deemed Classified information.

Due to a number of problems in final manuvering into orbit, a few modifications will be made before the next launch.

So here are a couple of pictures of Hermes MKIV.
