A contract requires us to launch a research lab into Kerbin orbit.
Download craft! Download kOS scripts! Year 3, Day 277. Mission Objectives:
We've made a few modifications from the previous launch. The Karibou VTOL engines are designed to handle larger rovers on planets such as Duna. As such, if we're only going to Minmus, we need much, much lower thrust. This requires us to ditch the rear engines, which makes the craft lighter, and, more importantly, more balanced. The reduced thrust should permit the cabin's reaction wheels to maintain control during landing. A lighter payload also results in a more efficient launch.

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. Download craft! Download kOS scripts! Year 3, Day 241. Mission Objectives:
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 223. Our Moho Explorer-1a probe is ready for its encounter with Moho. In preparation for future outpost missions, we will be deploying scanning satellites to map possible landing sites. We will test this technology by deploying our first satellite around Kerbin.

Now that our KSO relay has been deployed, we can put our interplanetary relay into its proper orbit.
Mission Objectives:
We've upgraded the engines and added a bit more fuel for this launch.

This satellite will function as a relay to our interplanetary relay. It will be launched into KSO over KSC, and relay communications to KomSAT-4a.

This is the same craft that just left for Moho, but with a less overpowered first stage. Its destination will be Dres.

Launching our inner-planetary relay satellite, again.
Download craft! Download kOS scripts! Year 3, Day 97. Mission Objectives:
Now that we have researched dishes with extended ranges, it's time to extend our communications network throughout the inner planets. To this end, we are launching a communication relay satellite to a highly-eccentric polar orbit, which will relay to another satellite orbiting in a KSO orbit over KSC.

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.

We have another lucrative contract on offer, this time to put a station in orbit around Minmus. With the newly upgraded VAB, we can iterate on our previous station's power systems, and add a few external handrails.

In the interest of upgrading our VAB, we've accepted a contract to put a space station in orbit around Mun. Conveniently, we have a station in orbit around Kerbin that meets the requirements... Year 3, Day 1. Mission Objectives:
Now that we've landed on Mun and Minmus, it's time to start working on more permanent settlements of space. Towards that end, we are launching our first long-lived orbital station around Kerbin. Many systems will be tested on this flight, including a new lifter stage, and a new, larger payload fairing.
