MrMuffinMan Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Just as a budget adjustment we had 201,581 and we got 1,000,000 for first satellite in stable orbit around a planet other than Kerbin and 180,000 for first non-Kerbin satellite (not space junk) so we now have $1,381,581.

MrMuffinMan Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Team Name: Habres Available Funds: 1,381,581 Vehicle Name: Blood Stag. Vehicle Parts List and Cost: Mk 1-2 Command Pod 1*1800 X-200 16 Fuel Tank 1*1800 Decoupler 2*600 Poodle Engine 1*200 X-200 32 Fuel Tank 8*6600 Radial Parachutes 6*700 XL parachutes 8*850 Flt-200 Fuel Tank 2*225 Atomic Rocket 2*1700 Clamp 2*280 Lander Can 1*950 Lt-2 Strut 3*240 Radial Monopropellant Tank 2*400 Advanced SAS 2*1100 RCS booster packs 4*450 Ladder 1*100 Barometer 1*200 Gravitator 1*200 Thermometer 1*200 Accelerometer 1*200 Photo Solar Panels 2*100 Jumbo 64 Tanks 7*12500 X-200 8 Fuel Tanks 7*900 Radial Decoupler 6*700 Main Sail Engine 7*850 Fuel Duct 8*250 Struts 38*250 Total Cost 155,730 Design Goals: This rocket is designed to fly to Duna, send the lander down to the surface then have it return to the ship in orbit which will take everyone home Launch Goal: We are trying to be the first people to land on another planet Pilot Plan: The main lifting stage will get the ship into orbit around Kerban and will have enough fuel to send on a course that will intersect Duna. Then the upper stage will be used to keep us in orbit around Duna while the lander will detach head down to the surface to collect samples. Then the lander will return to orbit and dock with the upper stage and will head back to Kerban. Illustrations: Safety Rep: Brendan will be approving this plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicpenguin Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Have you guys attempted docking yet? also parachutes are useful for landing on duna using as little fuel as possible. Pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieEckert Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I approve, if you fail you're dead!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicpenguin Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 1. Use parachutes 2. try docking first 3. use a probe first 4. get to minmus first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMuffinMan Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Launch Time: 9:10am May 31st Team Members Present: All three members were there for launch but only 2 were there for the return landing Play-by-Play: Use initial rockets to break the atmosphere of Kerban, and decoupled with starter rocket, orbiting Kerban. Used secondary rockets to break orbit with Kerban and enter orbit with Duna, then broke lander off of remaining rocket. Left remaining rocket in orbit with Duna, and then landed on Duna with lander and 2 Kerbals. Had Kerbals jump around for a little bit, then reboarded the lander and took off until back in orbit with Duna. Used retrograde to push rocket and lander close together and then docked, moving Kerbals from lander to rocket. Disconnected lander, and then broke orbit with Duna, gained orbit with Kerbal, entered the atmosphere, and then landed in the ocean for a successful trip! Photographs: Time-of-Flight: 1yr 71d 21 h 50m 48s Summary: We were the First team to land on another planet and return safely. Opportunities / Learnings: We learned how to dock Strategies / Project Timeline: Next we’re going to Jool and it’s moons Milestone Awards Presented: First team to land on Duna and have a safe return. Available Funds: 1,381,581-155,730+1,500,000= $2,725,851 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FizziksGuy Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Very well done... docking, landing and returning from a distant planet... tremendous job!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
