[Elodia7]

Episode 72: Gilly hasn't worked out as well as I hoped. Time for plan B.

[Elodia7]

: As a change of pace from interplanetary flights, it's time to try to design a new lifting unit. This is part 1 of 2 as I try to figure out a solid design.

[Elodia7]

Been away on vacation but we are back to normal now! Here are the three most recent videos:

: Part 2 of our attempt to assemble a bigger lifting unit.

: An unexpected part 3 as I do the final tests on the 120 ton lifter.

Episode 76: With the new lift finalized, it's time to head back to Eve and Gilly for round 2!

[Elodia7]

The Eve saga continues with careful planning:

: Our burn to Eve begins. The ship is slightly underpowered and then I begin trying to plan the capture at Eve.

: The capture for Eve arrival planning continues. At least we have lots of time to sort this out!

[Elodia7]

: I make one final tiny teak to the plan and now it is time to get this mission rolling again.

[Elodia7]

: Time to put the lander down on Eve! Let's see how it works out.

[Elodia7]

: With the Eve landing only partially successful, this mission now depends on getting data from Gilly. Time to try to get into orbit.

: Our continuing efforts to achieve orbit around Gilly!

[Elodia7]

Been a little while since I posted but the Space Program still continues in 0.9!

: The final episode of our Eve Mission. Landing on Gilly!

: Now that we are back from Eve, it is time to earn a bit of operational money.

: Contractual Obligations II is off the ground. Time to earn some cash!

: The final part of our contract fullfilment mission.

: Aerodynamics in 0.9 is really annoying!

: Now that we are doing with the crazy airplanes, it's time to plan our next mission!

: Getting a Munar Mission off the ground is never easy!
