3x aerodynamic nose cone 680
3x Photovoltaic panels 100
4x Photovoltaic panels 300
Total cost = 37720 + tax = $41492
Design Goals: We have a simple design that has 3 stages
Launch Goal: Our vehicle is designed to launch a glorious kerbin into orbit around duna
Pilot Plan: Full throttle for as long as possible before overheating kicks in. Drop the four side fuel tanks once the fuel runs out. At 10 k angle the rocket to the side. Once the apoapsis reaches 80ish km, the pilot will kill the throttle until we reach the apoapsis. At the apoapsis, we will burn the reamining fuel in the Jumbo Tank to establish orbit around kerbin. We will burn throttle to break away from kerbal orbit into the sun’s orbit. From there, we will readjust to ‘collide’ with eve allowing us to set a new orbit around duna!

Launch Time: 9:30
Team Members Present: Charlie, luke and devin
Play-by-Play: mission failed, I forget to put out the solar panel before time warp. This resulted in running out of charge preventing us from operating the ship.
Time-of-Flight: 6:03
Summary: We succesfully put a kerbal into orbit. It was a good day.
Opportunities / Learnings: I learned that I should slow down and plan out future missions. Also i should have a group memeber remind the pilot of important things like extening the solar panel before going into time warp.

Launch Time: 9:50
Team Members Present: Charlie, Luke partially
Play-by-Play:
Rocket launched at full burn. Throttle turned down to prevent overheating. At 10km, dropped the side boosters and turned towards 45 degrees. Once apoapsis reached 90km we killed the engine. Used remaining fuel to establish an orbit with 85km and 105km at lowest and highest point respectively, then dropped the jumbo tank. Once we saw the moon while orbiting the kerbin, we put on full burn and waited to a collision point. Then we established an orbit around the mun. Then we burnt retrograde until we landed on the mun. During our mun decent, I accidently dropped fuel tanks that still had fuel. Fortunately we had enough fuel to land and come back.
Photographs: Screen shots still not working L
Time-of-Flight: 14:53
Summary: On first attempt we made it to the mun, but crashed because we couldn’t see the ground. We added lights and batteries to our rocket, but we ended up not using them because we landed on the light side of the moon. Returned home: mission successful. Also my kerbin showed promise as an acrobat.
Opportunities / Learnings: What "big picture" items did the team learn from this launch?
Strategies / Project Timeline: This will give us the nessaray funds to pay for future missions.

Flight crashed
I attempted to land on the dark side of the moon. I was unable to judge distance properly and crashed.
Added lights and and batterys. Will reattempt with brendon aproval.

Design Goals: The vehicle is designed to bring a kerbal to the Mun and back preferably in one peice.
Launch Goal: We hope to achieve the mun landing milestone.
Pilot Plan: Full throttle for as long as possible before overheating kicks in. Drop the four side fuel tanks once the fuel runs out. At 10 k angle the rocket to the side. Once the apoapsis reaches 80ish km, the pilot will kill the throttle until we reach the apoapsis. At the apoapsis, we will burn the reamining fuel in the Jumbo Tank to establish orbit around kerbin. From here we drop the tank and burn at pro-grade once we can see moon while orbiting kerbin. This will lead to a ‘collision’ with the moon. Once a we are close enough, we will establish an orbit. Then we will burn retro-grade to slowly bring us to the surface of the moon. Finally we can return home doing the same thing.

Launch Time: 9:30
Team Members Present: just charlie
Play-by-Play: Rocket launch with no issuies. At about 15km the first seperation occured. At this point we were had very little atomphere or gravity pulling us back. Because of this the small fuel tank on the last part of the engine was sufficent to reach orbit. Once the apoapsis reached 100km, i set a new cource for orbit! unforchently I didn't realize my periapsis was too low for orbit. forchently I had enough fuel to correct the orbit. the current periapsis is 71 km above the earth!
Time-of-Flight: 6:03
Summary: We succesfully put a kerbal into orbit. It was a good day.
Opportunities / Learnings: I learned how to accualy build a rocket and that luke rocket was way too big.
Strategies / Project Timeline: The money will be very useful for future goals.

Design Goals: We have a simple design that breaks off into 3 pieces.
Launch Goal: Our vehicle is designed to launch a glorious kerbin into orbit around the planet!
Pilot Plan: Initially the pilot will steer straight up. At 10km the pilot will pt the spacecraft at a 45 degree angle. Once the apoapsis reaches 100km, the pilot will kill the truster until it reaches the apoapsis. At this point, the pilot will burn the trusters putting the aircraft in orbit.
