[Scenario] Rendezvous With Roche

[Atanar]

Just a bump. One of the best challanges out there, deserves more attention.

[SirJodelstein]

Still at it, you can follow my progress on the mission report site. If nothing goes seriously wrong in the final phase, i might soon be able to report back here with a single launch stock victory.

[Canopus]

My Roche tug just broke apart So i have to start over.

[SirJodelstein]

I have done it! No further Kraken attacks or docking bugs on the way home, Kerbin now has a third moon in a highly-inclined 175km * 176km orbit. The metal-plate heatshield protected the asteroid from getting scorched during Kerbin aerobraking, and the Roche-1 crew is on board as well. The full mission report with video snippets can be found in the "Mission Report" forum. Stock single-launch success woohooo! Hand me that X-Prize sticker

Bravo SirJodelstein that is a crafty ship you created and some good videos showing the mission.

/hat's off

[MrTaxman]

I'm still having trouble getting any ship bigger than about 20 parts into orbit - and SirJodelstein is fetching asteroids from one planet to another...

Well played. ::hats off::

[Sigma117]

I want to see somebody land this thing near the Space Center, on some form of platform

4 Launches 1000t of equipment to LKO.

5 Rendezvous

8 Dockings

Roche and all of the kerbonauts involved in the mission are now orbiting in LKO.

No aerobrakings all stock not even dV calculation mods.

Is this meant to be like a planned mission to bring an asteroid back to orbit earth or the moon?

[John FX]

Now that we have had an update I shall see if this mission is possible without all my NERVA being eaten by the Kraken between Kerbin and Eve...

Also Bump for this lovely challenge.

Dangerous but timely bump! I believe I may be making a v2.0 of RwR after the ARM patch comes out... if possible, it could even be a selection of bodies in Eve orbit to choose from.

I think the original version is cooler, because it's a special rock. Maybe instead you could make it a special type of asteroid instead of that and oh wait I forgot you don't do any KSP anymore so nevermind.

Mid-blaugust...

Hmm.... So how is the month relevant on the equator of a planet with no axial tilt?

Agreed. If there was to be a round two, I'd like to see them put Roche back around Eve.

So they know what time of year it is?

[John FX]

Bah, saw this in challenges and thought the threatened V2.0 had appeared...
