Rosetta mission


Recommended Posts

Rosetta is, as some of you may or may not know, a mission set up by the ESA to send a probe into orbit around a comet and put a lander on the surface. I figured that that would be a great challenge for you guys. It's harder than it looks.

The comet (hyper-edited asteroid :sticktongue:) is an E-class comet. As we know now, E-class is the largest type of aster- I mean, comet. It has an Apoapsis of ~112 Billion meters and a periapsis of ~752 million meters. Ast. HJI-175 has very little gravity, so a trailing orbit is recommended, as well as KAS for the lander.

Here are the scores:

PROBE:

-10 for crashing (how you crashed, I have no idea)

+10 for rendezvous

+10 points for being 150m away, +20 for being 140m, +30 for 130m, etc..

+100 points for putting it into orbit around a planet/moon (even though it isn't really part of the mission)

+extra points for coolness (judged be yours truly)

LANDER:

-10 for crashing

+1 for using the recommended KAS

+10 for touchdown

+20 for surface sample (does require a kerbal. Devs, if you're reading this, make a surface sampler for probes, with ~half the science you get from an EVA)

+50 for each kerbal on lander

+Extra points for coolness

SPECIAL AWARDS (yes, I'm aware that most of these are named after youtubers who play KSP):

Scott Manley: First person to enter (+50)

HOC: Second person to enter (+25)

Jeb: Third person to enter (+10)

The no-name award: enter (+1)

Lagfest: Create a ship that is larger than the comet (+1000 - truly incredible!)

Danny2462: Create a video/screenshot of something funny on your mission (+20)(Judged by community)

LeGoldfish: Complete 3 or more of the challenges above (+100 for 3, +10 for each one after that)

RULES:

You can use any mods EXCEPT HyperEdit (Okay, so I used it to move the asteroid, but it's just a typical ARM otherwise!)

You must provide screenshots of launch, rendezvous, 'orbit' and touchdown.

If you've put it in orbit around a planet/moon, then give a screenshot of that too.

Probably the only 3 rules unless people suggest any
