    Vehicle name: Sweeping Sensation

    Parts and Cost:

    Mk 1 Command Pod, Mk 16 parachute, Stack Decoupler x 2, FL-R25 RCS Fuel Tank x 1, FL-T100 Fuel Tank, FL-T400 x 3, LV-909 "Terrier" Liquid Fuel Engine, LV-T45 "Swivel" Fuel Engine, Radial Decoupler x 2, RT-10 "Hammer" Solid Fuel Booster x 2, Nose caps x 2, AV-R8 Winglet x 4

    Total cost: $10,522

    Ending Funds: $73,956

    Design Goals: 

    Enough rocket power and fuel with a light weight body to get into stable orbit.

    Launch Goals:

    Reach manned orbit at least 70km above Kerbin.

    Pilot Plan:

    Use initial boosters to get into atmosphere and then use remaining fuel after decoupling to lose weight and get into orbit.

    Launch Time: 10:32 am

    Team Members: Roman St. Croix, Brandon Bansbach

    Play by Play:

    Launched with solid fuel to get into atmosphere and then decouple to lose weight. We flew at an angle sufficient for getting into orbit, the rocket was flown to 70km and then thrusters were turned off until the apoasis was reached, to attain max height. Thrusters were turned back on and orbit was achieved soon after.

    Time of Flight:

    25 mins
     

    Summary: 

    Stable manned orbit by Jebodiah Kerbin

    Learnings: 

    Need a lot of fuel to get into orbit, would need more if anything was wanted beyond that.

    What's Next?

    Land on the Mun.

    Milestone Awards:

    • Manned launch to 50 km - $15,000
    • Achieving stable orbit - $20,000
    • Achieving stable manned orbit - $25,000

    Total Awarded: $60,000

    Total Funds: $133,956

    Starting funds: $60,000

    Vehicle name: Tide Pod Mk1

    Parts and Cost:

    Mk1 Command Pod, Mk16 Parachute, RT-5 "Flea" Solid Fuel Booster. Basic Fin x 4

    Total cost: $1,322

    Ending Funds: $58,678

    Design Goals: 

    Stable starting rocket with efficient costs and a safe return to Kerbin. 

    Launch Goals:

    Reach 10km while manned. 

    Pilot Plan:

    Straight up to 10km, and straight down with a parachute deployed for a safe landing.

    Launch Time: 10:56 am

    Team Members: Roman St. Croix, Brandon Bansbach

    Play by Play:

    First, we set the throttle to 2/3. We then launched and moved straight upwards in the atmosphere to about 12km, then traveled straight down, deploying the parachute at 5km, and it activated at 2km to bring Valentina Kerbin to a safe landing. 

    Time of Flight:

    10 minutes
     

    Summary: 

    Our flight was a success for Kerbin kind. 

    Learnings: 

    We learned how to set stages and how to adjust parachute settings, just the basics. 

    What's Next?

    Our next goal is to reach a height of 50km and return safely. We are slowly preparing ourselves for a trip to the Mun. 

    Milestone Awards:

    • Launch to 10 km - $5,000
    • Manned launch to 10 km - $20,000

    Total Awarded: $25,000
