LePadeaux Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Lotus Corporation"Peace through Profit"The Lotus Corporation (founded as Lotus Industries) was once one of the largest producers of snack foods and pesticide on Kerbin. Some of its most popular snacks being "Lukewarm Pockets" and "Bang-Tarts", along with its most popular consumer pesticide "Weed Murderer". After a legal dispute in which some of its food products sweetener was replaced with pesticide, Lotus Industries attempted to flee charges enact justice by founding its own city-state and incorporated itself into the Lotus Corporation. With no where to expand and its products outlawed around Kerbin, the Lotus Corporation looks to the stars to find a new beginning.Programs:Nammu: Orbiters around KerbinAn: Crewed orbiters around KerbinNanna: Orbiters around Mun and MinmusNingal: Landers on Mun and MinmusInanna: Rovers on Mun and MinmusUtu: Orbiters around KerbolEnki: Crewed orbiters and landers on Mun and MinmusNinurta: Space station around KerbinOdin: Orbiters around DunaVili: Landers on DunaThor: Orbiters around IkeBaldr: Landers on IkeZeus: Orbiters around EveHera: Landers on EveApollo: Orbiters around GillyArtemis: Landers on GillyEnlil: Space station around MunNinhursag: Colony on MunNinlil: Space station around MinmusEreshkigal: Colony on MinmusCompletedCurrentProposedCancelledMission Log:Mission 01: Nammu 1 (Low Kerbin orbiter)Mission 02: Nammu 2 (Kerbin equatorial orbiter)Mission 03: Nammu 3 (Kerbin polar orbiter)Mission 04: An 1 (Crewed low Kerbin orbiter)Mission 05: Nammu 4 (Kerbin synchronous orbiter)Mission 06: An 2 (Crewed low Kerbin orbiter)Mission 07: An 3 (Crewed low Kerbin orbiter)Mission 08: An 4, An 5 (Crewed low Kerbin orbiters)Mission 09: Nanna 1 (Munar equatorial orbiter)Mission 10: Nanna 2 (Munar polar orbiter)Mission 11: Ningal 1 (Munar lander)Mission 12: Nanna 3 (Minmus equatorial orbiter)Mission 13: Nanna 4 (Minmus polar orbiter)Mission 14: Ningal 2 (Minmus lander)Mission 15: Inanna 1 (Munar rover)Mission 16: Inanna 2 (Minmus rover)Mission 17: Utu 1 (Kerbolar equatorial orbiter)Mission 18: Enki 1 (Crewed Munar orbiter)Mission 19: Enki 2 (Crewed Minmus orbiter)Mission 20: Enki 3 (Crewed Munar lander)Mission 21: Enki 4 (Crewed Minmus lander)Mission 22: Ninurta 1 (Kerbin space station)SuccessFailure Edited February 8, 2014 by LePadeaux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
