Year 5, Day 383.
Previously, previously. Our Gilly lander is approaching Eve. It needs to capture into orbit, then rendezvous with Gilly and land. Year 5, Day 348.
Mission Objectives:
This are the same type of satellite that we recently sent to Eve. Year 5, Day 325.
Mission Objectives:
One of the cutbacks made after our last mission is having fewer launches. We're now able to launch every 23 days, instead of 12, and only if there's a mission that helps us reach our goal. Well, keeping our researchers on Minmus alive definitely applies, so we're sending more supplies over. Year 5, Day 301.
Mission Objectives: We have not heard from either kerbal in nearly two years. Year 5, Day 289.
Mission Objectives:
Previous launch, mission failure. Year 5, Day 241.
Mission Objectives:
This mission will resupply our food, fuel, and includes tools and parts to fix some problems with our lander. Year 5, Day 217.
Mission Objectives:
We have tweaked the design of the DEUCES mk I after having some problems with the vernor thrusters. Hopefully this fixes the problem. Year 5, Day 205.
Mission Objectives:
The second launch for this transfer window will deploy a network of KomSAT satellite around Eve. Year 5, Day 229.
Mission Objectives:
Crew: Bill (Engineer), Docal (Scientist⭐️), Karise (Scientist⭐️) If the CFV doesn't have enough fuel for a landing and launch, it will dock with the station first. Year 5, Day 193.
Mission Objectives:
While one of the design goals for DEUCES was to be able to boost-back into LKO after transferring a payload to another planet, it's currently difficult to do that directly from launch. Instead, we'll just send a DEUCES to Gilly and attempt a landing. This is purely a scientific mission (although we will be paid for it). Year 5, Day 181.
Mission Objectives:
This will fulfil our contract to extend the station, and provide transport for a future crew to Minmus. Year 5, Day 169.
Mission Objectives:
Our focus right now is on getting more science in order to build the kinds of crafts and landers we need for our Duna mission. To that end, we'd like to get a science lab and lander to Minmus, which means getting more fuel in orbit. We currently have two contracts: getting a five-crew outpost on Minmus, and expanding Biko 1 [Kerbin] to support 19 crew and have 2000 units of liquid fuel. We've expanded our CFV to support a crew of five, and if we dock this and an orange tank to Biko 1 we should be able to fulfil the station contract. We can then send the lander, a science module, and fuel to Minmus, complete the second contract, and begin doing more research. Year 5, Day 157.
Mission Objectives:
A night launch! We have a contract to put a satellite into a polar orbit, which we'll use to conduct a tiny bit of science. This will also be our first launch of a DEUCES mk 0 rocket. Year 5, Day 133.
Mission Objectives:
We have a station around Mun, in the CFV we have a lander, and we already have crew aboard the Kerbin station. We just need fuel to get them to the surface and back. While we could just use a DEUCES mk 2, we want to land on Mun with a DEUCES mk 1 so we'll take that instead. It wouldn't ordinarily have the dV to get a 30T payload to Mun, but since it can use the fuel from the payload, it should be no problem. Year 5, Day 121.
Mission Objectives:
Crew: Gerby (Scientist⭐️⭐️) The current return vehicle docked to the station will return the rescued crew from Minmus. Year 5, Day 109.
Mission Objectives:
Previously. Year 5, Day 97.
Mission Objectives:
We are launching a reusable Crew Ferry Vehicle (CFV-1) connected to a DEUCES mk I. This can be used to ferry crew between Kerbin and its moons, or to and from the surface of a moon. Year 5, Day 85.
Mission Objectives:
This is a test launch of our new Orbital Return Vehicle (ORV-3). Unfortunately, we didn't read the fine print before accepting the rescue contract, and Docal is on an orbit high enough that we cannot use a DEUCES mk I to recover him, and must launch on a DEUCES mk II rocket. One of the new safety measures in place is that crewed launches are no longer permitted to use solid rockets. Fortunately, the ORV-3 is fairly light and a place DLSv3 Atlas V, without SRBs, is sufficient to place it in orbit along with a DEUCES mk II. The plan is to launch into orbit, rendezvous with Biko 1 to refuel, then rescue Docal. After performing the deorbit burn, the ORV will separate from the DEUCES module, which will rendezvous back with Biko 1. Since this is our first rendezvous with the station using our upgraded flight control, we will not be attempting a direct ascent rendezvous. Year 5, Day 61.
Mission Objectives:
One of the DLSv3/DEUCES design tradeoffs made was to minimize the number of launch configurations. Instead of trying to have many sizes for different payloads, we would instead try to piggyback multiple payloads into a single launch to efficiently use the launchers we have. Toward that end, we are launching our habitation and science modules to the Biko 2 station around Mun in a single launch, as opposed to two with Biko 1. Year 5, Day 54.
Mission Objectives:
As with the launch of the KMSS, this launch is built around a new DLSv3 rocket, and features a refined flight plan. Both of these have been heavily simulated, so we have no concerns about this launch. None, whatsoever. Year 5, Day 37.
Mission Objectives:
We need funds. Year 5, Day 25.
Mission Objectives:
Crew: Sigeny (Pilot⭐️), Sanya (Engineer⭐️), Dalotte (Scientist⭐️) Before we send crew to bases around Mun I need to figure out how the new UKS works. |
