UKS KASP Stock Sandbox Campaign (K.A.S.P.S.S.C)(0.90)

[grockstar124]

The Kerbals had long been looking at the cosmos and more recently the Mun and even more recently how to get there and what it would be like. Of course, back then there had been something else to worry about.

Finances, your daughter's boyfriend, getting to work and of course snacks. Always with the snacks. Only after the Second Kerbin War had anyone thought of seriously going to space and having the technology to do so. While the rest of the world was focusing on rebuilding, only one nation-the Union of Kafican States had actually survived and thrived during the war-mainly due to rumors of a snack destroyer ray that may or may not be true. The UKS founded the KASP (KAfican Space Program) to send a kerbal to the Mun and beyond! Of course, they have to get there first.

The KASP space program will stage 3 programs to get to the Mun.

Medusa-Get a kerbal into orbit and bring him back.

Metis-Develop skills to go to the Mun.

Athena-Land a kerbal on the Mun and bring him back alive!

Mesuda 1:

Goals: Launch a dusted-off SRB with a prototype pod, the Mk1

Mesuda I sitting on the launchpad, Jebidiah waits for the launch order.

And we have liftoff of Medusa I!

Jebidiah is having fun for sure, even with the overheating light flashing, height at 4 and a half km.

And we have burnout at 14km.

Apogee at 18 km.

Medusa I begins to fall down to Kerbin.

Jeb deploys the parachute.

The parachute opens.

Splashdown! The rocket falls over, but Jeb is recovered before it sinks.

Mesuda 2:

Goal: To test liquid fueled rockets, staging and reach 10 km, piloted by Bill Kerman

Unlike the previous rocket, the rocket quickly soars and controls more easily.

The rocket burns out about the same time as Medusa I.

The decoupler works as planned.

Just above 15km, Bill deploys the parachute.

A slight problem has arisen...

The engine and fuel is falling awfully close to the launchpad...

Bill, your paying for that!

The fuel tank and decoupler survive the landing.

Bill bets he'll land next to the fuel tank.

"Gene, you owe me 50 dollars."

Liquid fueled rockets and staging are the future. Bob has a even bigger idea that may take the first kerbal to space!

Mesuda III:

Goal:Test multi-staged rockets and exit the atmosphere.

Bob is flying this one.

Liftoff!

First stage separates, the second stage is reused parts from Medusa II with a LV-909 engine attached.

We did it! Bob will be the first kerbal to enter space! And half the fuel is left, although sadly the stage is decoupled as they don't want Bob to go too high... yet.

Bob reenters the atmosphere.

He lands in the water offshore of KSP.
