9/2/2016

Year 1, day 256.
Project: Resnick
Mission Objectives:

Perform flyby of Minmus.
Transmit scientific data form space around Minmus.

This launch features an upgraded version of the G-2 satellite, featuring larger fuel tanks and improved electrical systems. The lower stage tanks of the G-4 were lengthened slightly, to accommodate for the heavier payload.

The Rules

Rocket launches must be fully automated using kOS and SmartParts.
Launch vehicles must have self-contained guidance, and not rely on payloads.
Long-duration, non-cryogenic stages must use low-efficiency engines to simulate hypergolic fuels.
Crewed vehicles must be flight-certified before they carry any crew.
Crewed vehicles may not use SRBs.
AntennaRange / USI LS (in K.I.A. mode) will be used.
Missions must be progressive:
1. Uncrewed before crewed.
2. Suborbital/flyby before orbital.
3. Orbital before landing.
Launches are permitted every 23 days on Kerbin.
