Colonizing Duna... and Beyond

Moho Lander Encounter!

Year 5, Day 35.

Our Moho Lander is getting ready for its encounter!

Launch 4-28: Moho Lander

3/1/2016

 
Picture
Year 4, Day 355.
Mission Objectives:
  1. Land on Moho's surface.

This is a high-speed encounter, which we've decided to try out nuclear engines on. This lets us get away with a single stage for transfer and circularization, reducing the size of the lifter required to get it out of the atmosphere.

Launch 4-17: Moho Lander 4a

2/22/2016

 
Picture
Now that we have a relay network around Moho, we can send a lander. Coincidentally, we have a new transfer window open.

Year 4, Day 215.
Mission Objectives:
  1. Land on the surface of Moho.
  2. Transmit scientific data.

Payload: Lander Probe
Landing Stage: Ant I
Insertion Stage: Terrier I
Transfer Stage: Terrier IIb
First Stage and Boosters: Swivel Super Heavy

Moho KomSAT V: Moho Encounter

2/22/2016

 
Picture
Our KomSAT probe is approaching Moho, and has the proper fuel to capture into orbit this time.

Year 4, Day 91.
Mission Objectives:
  1. Achieve stable orbit around Moho.
  2. Deploy relay network at a heigh of around 350km.

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 3-32: 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.

Year 3, Day 241.
Mission Objectives:
  1. Achieve stable orbit around Moho.
  2. Deploy relay network at a heigh of around 350km.

Launch 3-21: Moho-Class Boar-Poodle-Terrier-Ant KomSAT Mk V

12/26/2015

 
Picture
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.

Launch 3-20: Moho-Class Skipper-Terrier Explorer Mk II

12/26/2015

 
Picture
This is probably what our initial explorer probe should have been, as it contains additional science modules. We are going to perform another fly-by to perform more experiments.

Year 3, Day 229.
Mission Objectives:
  1. Perform fly-by of Moho.
  2. Transmit scientific data from space around Moho.

Moho Explorer-1a: Mid-Course Correction Burn

12/24/2015

 
Picture
Previously.

Year 3, Day 172.
Mission Update: A correction burn has been performed, currently putting us on an impact trajectory with Moho.

A further correction burn will be performed once we enter Moho's SOI.

Launch 3-10: Moho-Class Boar-Terrier Explorer Mk I

12/19/2015

 
Picture
It is finally time to venture beyond the confines of Kerbin's SOI, and visit our system's innermost planet: Moho. While our interplanetary communication network isn't fully functional, it will be by the time we need to communicate with this probe.
