Pre-Launch Design Release
****NOTICE: We ditched our old goal of making an unmanned orbit because a spacestation in orbit is cooler******
Team Name: Kailzah
Available Funds: 37426
Vehicle Name: October Sky II
Vehicle Parts List and Cost: Aerodynamic Nose (680x1), Ox. 4 Photo P. (300x2), Probodoyne OKTO2 (230x1), adv. SAS mod. (1,100x1), RCS Thruster (450x3), RCS Fuel Tank FL-R25 (800x1), Inline Clamp O Tron (700x1), TR-18A Stack Decoupler (600x3), FL-T400 Fuel Tank (850x1), FL-T800 Fuel Tank (1,600x1), liquid fuel engine (475x1), Rockomax Adapter (50x1), Rockomax Jumbo 64 Fuel Tank (12500x1), Mainsaid Liquid Engine (850x1)
Design Goals: We used a rather large engine in combination with two connected smaller fuel tanks and three decouplers to ensure that October Sky II makes it into orbit.
Launch Goal: With this launch, we hope to put a space station into orbit around Kirbin. We hope to learn how to make a proper orbit around Kerbin (this being our first official launch). Also, we hope to use this space station in the future with our further launches.
Pilot Plan: 1. Turn on SAS and go full throttle
2.) During overheat, turn down throttle to 75%
3.) Decouple and loose the first fuel tank when fuel is low/out
4.) Go full throttle and enguage RCS
5.) Turn on propgade
6.) After exiting the atmosphere, cut engine
7.) Examine orbital position & approach apopolis
8.) full throttle & widen untill path is suitable for orbit

Safety Rep: Which safety representative is this plan being submitted to? Note that once this is posted, you may not launch until you have written confirmation in the form of a reply to this post from the safety rep that your plan is complete, sufficient, and has addressed risks and concerns appropriately.

Pre-Launch Design Release
Team Name: Kailzah
Available Funds: 143,841
Vehicle Name: Space Heifer I
Vehicle Parts List and Cost: Standard Nose Cone (680), Command Pod Mk1 (600), SAS adv. (1,100), RV-105 RCS Truster (4x450), FL R25 RCS FT (800), FL T200 FT (2x225) LV-909 Liquid Engine (750x1/2), TR-18A Stack Decoupler (600), Rockomax Brand Adapter (50), Rockomax Jumbo 64 FT (5x12,500), Rockomax "mainsail" Liquid Engine (6x850x1/2), FTX-2 External External Fuel Duct (5x250), EAS4 Strut connector (40x250), TT18-A Launch Stabilizing Enhancer (200x5), Protective Rocket Nose Cone (5x1000), Landing struts (3x240), Parachute (2x700), rockomax FT (6,600)
Total Cost: 97,025
Design Goals: The Space Heifer I is designed to go to the Mun in order to explore and search for easter eggs. We used 5 large engines that surround the core, which has 2 decouplers. Using multiple stages will allow us to have enough power and fuel to break the atmosphere. After decoupling, the Space Heifer 1 will be light and have a smaller fuel reserve, making it easier to menuver and land on the Mun.
Launch Goal: This will be our first technical landing on a mass other than Kerbin, which is very exciting! It will test both our flight skills, our utilization of fuel and our landing skills. Our main goal is to land a manned craft safely on the Mun, which has already been done but will help develop our orbiting/landing skills. Though getting to the Mun is our main goal, it would be cool to find an easter egg and achieve one of those three easter egg- launch goals on the way.
Pilot Plan: 1. Turn on SAS and go full throttle
2.) During overheat, turn down throttle to avoid overheat
3.) Decouple and loose the first 5 tanks when fuel is low/out
4.) Go full throttle with first core engine
5.) Turn on propgade
6.) After exiting the atmosphere, cut engine and enguage the RCS
7.) Expand orbit to intersect that of the Mun, forward time to get closer to moon
8.) full throttle & widen untill path is suitable for orbit (when first fuel tank runs out of fuel, decouple to second core tank and engine)
9.) When close enough to moon, shorten path to orbit Mun
10.) Enter atmosphere, SLOW ship down, orient ships engine toward ground
11.) When closer, deploy parachutes (and cross your fingers for Jebedah!)
