Name: Kerbal Space Program - Advanced Rocket Design Tutorial Category: Kerbal Space Program Date Added: 24 May 2014 - 04:25 PM Submitter: FizziksGuy Short Description: None Provided I figured it was well overdue that I put together a more detailed rocket building guide that covers how to maximise your rocket's performance. Using the Kerbal Engineer Plugin I assemble multiple rocket configurations and show that the way staging is used can make a significant to your rocket's capabilities. You can do all the calculations yourself using the rocket equation, but for expediency I used the excellent kerbal engineer plugin http://kerbalspaceport.com/0-18-1-kerbal-engineer-redux-v0-5/ View Video

Name: Orbital Rendezvous And Docking Tutorial For Kerbal Space Program 0.18 Category: Kerbal Space Program Date Added: 24 May 2014 - 04:25 PM Submitter: FizziksGuy Short Description: None Provided This step by step guide takes us from launch to rendezvous to docking with another spacecraft in orbit. Hopefully someone will find it useful when 0.18 is officially released. View Video

Name: Kerbal Space Program Tutorial Getting To And Landing On Moons Category: Kerbal Space Program Date Added: 24 May 2014 - 04:25 PM Submitter: FizziksGuy Short Description: None Provided Following up to my previous tutorial for new pilots, this covers the construction of a rocket and lander that can go to another world. I get a lot of requests for a beginners guide to landing on the Mun, but for rookie pilots I strongly suggest heading to Minmus instead. Although it's a smaller target and requires more maneuvering in space to get there you can perform these maneuvers without risking the entire missions if you make a mistake. The target itself has lower gravity than the Mun so landing is more forgiving, and it also has nice flat areas to make the landing easy. Finally, because of the lower fuel requirements you can use a smaller rocket so launch is easier. This tutorial covers: Building a rocket capable of the mission.

Looking at your pre-flight plan, may I recommend a bit more research on how to achieve, maintain, and dissolve an orbit? Vertical thrust vectoring is a mighty difficult (and dangerous) method of initiating re-entry.

Bonus $2500 for this timely public safety message.
-
Outstanding!!! Way to go guys -- I especially like the solar arrays. Are there docking ports on the satellite?
-

Please make sure to include the post-launch report/debrief. When that is posted, Axburns Inc. will be awarded $10K as the first team with a documented launch to 10km (higher award as first to this milestone than third to the manned 10km launch). You're rolling now!
-
Garalles Conglomerates awarded $10K for the second manned launch to 10km, and $50K for first stable manned orbit. Excellent start!
-
Reward of $30,000 presented and approved to Rivoralsh Research. Nice start team!
-
Rivoralsh Research has won the primary award for the 10km manned milestone. $20,000 Kerbins to Rivoralsh!
