Launch 5-9: Minmus Double Rescue

3/28/2016

 
Picture
Year 5, Day 97.
Mission Objectives:
  1. Rescue Lemfred and Tangie from orbits around Minmus.
  2. Return them safely back to Kerbin.

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.

Launch 5-8: Testing the ORV-3

3/27/2016

 
Picture
Year 5, Day 85.
Mission Objectives:
  1. Launch Johnmon (Tourist) and Madlotte (Tourist) into orbit around Kerbin.
  2. Rescue Docal (Scientist) from HKO.
  3. Recover all three safely on Kerbin.

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.

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.
