Colonizing Duna... and Beyond

Minmus Surface Expedition: Rescue or Recovery?

4/6/2016

 
Picture
Year 5, Day 301.
Mission Objectives:
  1. Rescue (or recover) Jorrie (Scientist⭐️) and Natalin (Scientist⭐️) from the surface of Minmus.

We have not heard from either kerbal in nearly two years.

Launch 5-19: Minmus Science Expedition

4/2/2016

 
Picture
Year 5, Day 229.
​Mission Objectives:
  1. Dock with Biko 1 [Kerbin].
  2. Transfer crew to Minmus aboard CFV.
  3. Land on Minmus and obtain surface samples.
  4. Dock with Minmus station and begin analyzing samples.​

​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.

Launch 5-12: Biko 2 [Mun] Refuelling

3/29/2016

 
Picture
Year 5, Day 133.
Mission Objectives:
  1. Take fuel to Mun.

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.

This is not my typical lander style, but we're not yet ready to send a permanent, reusable lander to our station yet. It should also have more margin for error than our previous lander, while remaining fairly budget-efficient.
