Colonizing Duna... and Beyond

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.

Download kOS scripts!

Mission Objectives:
  1. Verify new lifter design can reach orbit.
  2. Use automated manoeuvre node script to achieve a free-return trajectory to Mun.
Mission Summary:
  1. Verify new lifter design can reach orbit: Success.
  2. Use automated manoeuvre node script to achieve a free-return trajectory to Mun: Unable to attempt due to navigation failure.

While the craft did not reach a stable orbit, we know that the design is capable of doing so once we determine the root cause of the navigation failure.
