Pilot Plan: Press the Spacebar and watch the solid fuel do its magic. then press it again to break away and deploy parachute Safety Rep: Brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicpenguin Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 That's a huge step backward from a mun landing. You land on the mun and now you want to get to 10k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Rider Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Yeah, I'm confused by the backtracking myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lshads Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Our function of the smaller milestone is to make smaller profits in preparation for orbiting another planet, which we hope to accomplish in the near future. As this will count as a grade as well, we hope to demonstrate our ability to produce efficient rockets on margin, and we need to achieve more milestones nonetheless.

lshads Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Misson was successful. Achieved 10K. Screenshots will be available when I have access to the computer (Test runs to Jool are in progress) Profits: 2500- 2279.20 = $220.80 Current Funds: 277441.10+ 220.80 = $277661.90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Illustrations: Safety Rep: Brendon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lshads Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Major success! Launch Time: 9:15 AM 6/06/2013 Team Members Present: Charlie, Luke and Devon Play-by-Play: Upon launch, the ship achieved stable orbit around Kerbin using the mainsail engine. After detatching, we escaped Kerbin gravity through use of the nuclear thrust. With some adjusting and retrograde burn, the satellite achieved orbit around Duno Time-of-Flight: 15:17 Summary: We succesfully put a kerbal into orbit around another planet, Duno. Opportunities / Learnings: I learned that I should slow down and plan out future missions... again. By making an efficient space ship, double checking my past mistakes, and piloting with the help of an additional member avaliable, we were much more successful. Milestone Awards Presented: Achieve orbit around another planet (2nd Place) : $500,000 . Available Funds: $277661.90-$41492+500,000= $736,169.90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
