 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 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 205.
Mission Objectives:
The second launch for this transfer window will deploy a network of KomSAT satellite around Eve.  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 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 13.
Mission Objectives:
This will complete the first phase of our station, and verify its functionality before launching identical stations to Mun and Minmus.  Year 4, Day 415.
Mission Objectives:
Now that our R&D facility is fully upgraded, we need to move our emphasis to science. To this end, we are planning on deploying modular space stations in orbits around Mun and Minmus. Before that, we need to test it in orbit around Kerbin. The first component is the Biko Service Module, or BSM. This component provides guidance, power, fuel tanks, storage space, an airlock, and docking ports to expand the station. This is also the first launch using our redesigned DLS v2, along with completely rewritten flight control software.  Year 4, Day 379.
Mission Objectives:
This satellite will be a relay for Jool Explorer-3a.  Year 4, Day 67.
Mission Objectives:
This mission will piggyback some relay dishes on a scientific satellite. The relays will be used for additional deep space relays to communicate with our Jool probe.  Year 4, Day 355.
Mission Objectives:
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.  Year 4, Day 308.
Mission Objectives:
The scientific data from our previous mission will be immediately put to use.  Launching a new ScanSAT.
Year 4, Day 259. Mission Objectives:
 We are deploying a satellite to Minmus to fulfil a contract.
Year 4, Day 247. Mission Objectives:
Payload: ScanSAT Payload Stage: Ant I Upper Stage: Spark III First Stage and Boosters: Swivel-Hammer  Year 4, Day 223.
Mission Objectives:
Payload: SENTINEL Probe Payload Stage: Ant I Second Stage: Spark III First Stage and Boosters: Swivel-Hammer |
