Challenge - Bring Spritesat!


Recommended Posts

Bob, Bill and Jerald need your help! They are posted on the space station "Irfrit I" and were expecting a new high-tech satellite called "Spritesat III" to link up with them, but something at Mission Control went wrong and it was launched into the completely wrong orbit! Bob blames error, Bill blames food crumbs stuck in a navigation panel, and Jerald just plain doesn't know who to blame. They need you to retrieve it and bring it to them!

**RULES**

* You may split this into 2 missions - the first to get spritesat, the second to fly it up to Irfrit. (You do not have to physically use the one in orbit. Just bring it back and see below.)

* If you do do this, DO NOT use the lifting vehicle I made for the Spritesat III ship. Get rid of everything below the decoupler and build your own.

* Bonus points if you can do it all in one mission. it might be do-able since their orbits cross.

* You may have to dodge a bit of space debris on the way up to Spritesat, when I made the scenario I saved right after I jettisoned the second stage.

Points: All of these are worth 1 point:

Successfully bringing Spritesat back to KSC

Sucessful Mission Completion - docking Spritesat to Irfrit

Crew transfer to Irfrit (optional)

The following is optional but is worth 2 points:

getting Irfrit to Mun orbit WITH Spritesat docked.

Finally, the following it worth 3 points:

Completing the challenge using only one mission.

The challenge is in the form of a save file. Just plop it into your save folder. You can download it here: https://app.box.com/s/iqa0d0lhlp0tcetbin8h

Trivia

* My first space station (Irfrit), it took 2 tries to get it up there. The first try resulted in a botched orbit and a firey re-entry.

* With Spritesat I finally got the hang of orbiting Kerbin. Next project I am working on is getting a Spritesat in Mun orbit.

* You can find the remains of a lander I am building to explore the Kerbin system with around the launch pad. For some reason I can't clean it up.

* This is a stock mission.
