Year 5, Day 25.
Mission Objectives:

1. Launch first crew to Modular Space Station.

Crew: Sigeny (Pilot⭐️), Sanya (Engineer⭐️), Dalotte (Scientist⭐️)

Before we send crew to bases around Mun I need to figure out how the new UKS works.

Payload: Talon Orbiter Module mk I

Lifter: Zephyrus mk I

Ignition.

Liftoff!

Performing gravity turn.

MECO.

First stage separation.

Second stage ignition.

SECO.

Awaiting rendezvous transfer burn.

I guess the docking port was sideways.

Mission Summary:

1. Launch first crew to Modular Space Station: success!

So one thing I've learned is that the science lab implements UKS life support. This just about thirds the amount of supplies used, so a full crew of six requires resupplies every 150 days or so. So it's a good thing we put the science lab on there!
