Launch 3-34: Minmus-Class Boar-Poodle-Terrier Lander Mk IV

12/30/2015

 
Picture
This is a rather ambitious mission, serving as a test of our first multi-crew capsule. There are various crew stranded in orbit around Kerbin, Minmus, and on the surface of Minmus, and this craft will bring them all home.

Year 3, Day 397.
Mission Objectives:
  1. Rescue Gerby (Scientist) from LKO.
  2. Rescue Joebrett (Engineer) from Minmus orbit.
  3. Rescue Giigh (Pilot) from the surface of Minmus.
  4. Return them safely to Kerbin.

Moho Explorer-2a: Moho Encounter

12/30/2015

 
Picture
Previously.

Mission Summary:
  1. Perform fly-by of Moho: success!
  2. Transmit scientific data from space around Moho: success!

Unfortunately, I must have missed my correction burn alarm, and the probe was not able to collect scientific data from near Moho's surface. Instead, we obtained scientific data about the Sun.

Launch 3-35: Minmus-Class Boar-Poodle-Terrier Lander Mk IVb

12/30/2015

 
Picture
The classic rescue mission for the rescue mission. The initial plan was for both craft to rendezvous with the station in orbit around Minmus, but I suppose they only need to rendezvous with each other. In any case, this is probably what the original rescue ship should have been.

Launch 3-30: Minmus-Class Skipper-Terrier-Ant Lander Mk III

12/30/2015

Launch 3-32: Moho-Class Boar-Poodle-Terrier-Ant KomSAT Mk V

12/29/2015

 
Picture
Launching a slightly more powerful version of our previous KomSAT Mk V. We've upgraded our launchpad to accommodate larger rockets, which should give this rocket a better margin for error.

Duna Explorer-2b: Duna Transfer

Previously.

Mission Status: On transfer orbit to Duna.

As this probe is designed to reach Moho, it is a bit much for a simple Duna fly-by.

Launch 3-26: Mun-Class Thud-Spark ScanSAT Mk I

Launch 3-23: Minmus-Class Boar-Poodle-Karibou Mobile Base Mk I

12/27/2015

 
Picture
We've made a few modifications from the previous launch. The Karibou VTOL engines are designed to handle larger rovers on planets such as Duna. As such, if we're only going to Minmus, we need much, much lower thrust. This requires us to ditch the rear engines, which makes the craft lighter, and, more importantly, more balanced. The reduced thrust should permit the cabin's reaction wheels to maintain control during landing. A lighter payload also results in a more efficient launch.

Whew, that's a mouthful.

This is a pretty cool rocket. The first stage consists of a core stage, plus 4 auxiliary tanks that are decoupled along the way. The payload consists of three relay satellites, allowing us to deploy a relay network to a planet in a single launch. At least in theory.
