Colonizing Duna... and Beyond

Launch 5-22: Minmus Resupply

4/6/2016

 
Picture
Year 5, Day 325.
Mission Objectives:
  1. Resupply Minmus station.

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.

This will be our first launch of our new, standardized Duna Launch System. Along with that, we are going to be tweaking our mission names over the next few launches.

A long time ago, we accepted a contract to search for asteroids threatening Kerbin, but we had not researched the technology to build this type of satellite until now.

Year 4, Day 199.
Mission Objectives:
  1. Deploy satellite into an orbit around the Sun outside of Eve's.

Payload: SENTINEL Probe
Payload Stage: Ant I
​
Second Stage: Spark III
First Stage and Boosters: Swivel-Hammer

Launch 1-24: Mun-Class Thud-Orbiter Mk I

11/22/2015

 
Picture
We finally have enough funds for some facility upgrades that will allow us to advance to Mun and beyond. Before we can take a crew to Mun, we need to do an uncrewed test launch. This is our largest rocket yet, and includes an improved guidance computer capable of performing advanced manoeuvres. If the mission is a success, we will follow up with a crewed mission.

Mission Objectives:
  1. Verify new lifter design can reach orbit.
  2. Use automated manoeuvre node script to achieve a free-return trajectory to Mun.
