Duna and Beyond

Launch R4-022: OMB-1 (Minmus Lander)

9/17/2016

 
Picture
Year 3, day 92.
Customer: O.M.B. Demolition Enterprises
Mission Objectives:
  1. Land probe on the surface of Minmus
  2. Transmit scientific data back to Kerbin

Returning to our unscrewed program, we set our focus back towards Minmus. Before we send Kerbals there, we need to know a little more about the surface of the moon.

This launch returns to our R4 lifter, but with a new, liquid hydrogen-based upper stage. This gives the rocket just enough extra performance to perform this mission.

  3. Return safely to Kerbin.

Our first crewed spacecraft is a single-crew capsule atop the same R-4.1 rocket that has been carrying our satellites into orbit (for the most part).

This test flight will verify everything is in place for our first crewed mission.

    Introduction and Mods

    The Rules

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