Play-by-Play: Ignition! Launch! The rocket screamed to life as the vessel lifted of the ground. Jebediah, The pilot confidant in his mission, to orbit Kerbin. In a time of crisis where the world is raveged by war, and counties compete in a "space race". Kowagher LLP will possibly be the first Company to reach a manned orbit. The rocket climbs to 93,000 meters in altitude, 23 meters above the atmosphere. At this point, the rocket turns to face prograde, waits a minute, then the rocket once again screams. A 33 second burn, and done. Orbit Achieved. Jebediah is the first of kerbal kind to be in orbit. And after 3 full rotations, he gets risk, and agaist all odds, goes above and beyond to also be the first EVA in space. It has happened folks. After flying around in EVA, jeb gets back in, points the rocket retrograde, and uses the last bit of fuel in the first stage. He separates his stage, and then the second much smaller rocket slows the rocket down untill it is 7500 meters above the ground, the parachute opens and Jeb slows makes his desent as he gracfully lands in the ocean.

Summary: Launch! Rocket thrusts up and achieves an altitude of 93km, then burns prograde to maintan a stabe orbit. After this, Kerbal EVA happens, then after EVA, rocket is burnt retrograde and touches down after parachute has been deployed.

Opportunities / Learnings: We are going to go above and beyond to attain the goal.

Strategies / Project Timeline: Next: Start planning on next mission and milestone.

Play-by-Play: Ignition! Launch! The rocket screamed to life as the vessel lifted of the ground. The computer knew its path. It very slowly creapt higher and higer with the R.A.P.I.E.R. engine, which was air breathing at the time. As it got to the edge of the atmosphere, it switched to closed cycle mode, and thrustet the rocket up to an alltitude of about 2,686.9 km, and then leveled off to make an orbit. At this altitude, it take 1009m/s to orbit, making it a Geostationary orbit due to kerbin's spin being the same.

Play-by-Play: Wait for the Mun to be over head. Ignition! Launch! The rocket screamed to life as the vessel lifted of the ground. The computer knew its path. It would fly staright from the launch pad to the Mun. The path, a quick orbit around the Mun and then to land. It carried it's payload, a rover that will explore the munar surface. It enters the Muns sphere of influence. Slows down to maintain orbit. Then it waits till it can land on the light side of the mun. It slows down and creaps towards a landing. It lands at a speed of 8.3 m/s. Then the rover detaches and goes for a little sunday drive.

As the world now knows due to someone digging into the archives of Kowagher LLP, there was a failed mission to send a rover to the Mun. What happened was, when detaching the solid fuel boosters they smashed into the main engine causing it to rupture. This sent a chain reaction through the remaining fuel tanks, which completely exlploded the decoupler meaning the rocket went out of control, and eventually overheated to a tragic, fatal, finale.

Team Members Present: Justin Gallagher, Margaret Kowalski

Play-by-Play:  Ignition! Launch! The rocket screamed to life as the vessel lifted of the ground. The Adam and EVE, an interplantetary space station was now on its way to become EVE's shiny new object. The rocket rose higher and higher, and eventually made an orbit around kerbin. Next it Set its course to escape kerbin, and increase its orbit velocity so that it could "catch up" to Eve. This was eqasy since at the time of ignition, Eve was at it's closest to Kerbin. After a 113 days, the traverlers finally entered Eve's Sphere of influence, and the burned Retrograde to finally maintain an orbit around Eve.

Summary: Launch! Rocket thrusts up and travels up to maintain orbit around Kerbin. Then burns to escape Kerbin and head to Eve, then burn to get orbit with Eve.

Opportunities / Learnings: From this we learned that it is important to pick efficient Engines as the ones we picked where Big, Powerful, but guzzeled Fuel.

Strategies / Project Timeline: Who knows maybe a Manned lander or something, that is up to the great and Powerful Boss Margaret.

Milestone Awards Presented:

  • First manned satellite in stable orbit around a planet other than Kerbin - $1,000,000

Available Funds: $ 437,774 ($1,437,774 after Milestone)

Play-by-Play:  Ignition! Launch! The rocket screamed to life as the vessel lifted of the ground. It rose higher and higer, like a guy on drugs. It got into a kerbin orbit. Then blasted off into a trajectory to Eeloo. After 3 years of phun. It finally reached Eeloo. It burned retrograde and was able to maintain orbit around Eeloo. Then after a Day, it blasted off into a crash landing with kerbin, in like 2 years. As it entered kerbins atmosphere, it used an amazing technique called air braking, where it let the drag forces of air resistance to slow it down better than its own engine could. It eventually made touchdown.

Summary: Launch! Rocket thrusts up and travels up to maintain orbit around Kerbin. Then burns to escape Kerbin and head to Eeloo, then burn to get orbit with Eeloo. Lastly, burns to crash into kerbin.

Opportunities / Learnings: We learned to help manage our fuel supplies, and that Eeloo is a bitch to get to.

Strategies / Project Timeline: Who knows maybe a Manned lander or something, that is up to the great and Powerful Boss Margaret, the goddess of being a cool D00d.

Milestone Awards Presented:

  • Orbiting Eeloo (+ safe return) - $800,000

Available Funds: $ 1,227,862 ($2,027,862 after Milestone)

Team Members Present: Justin Gallagher, Margaret Kowalski

Play-by-Play:  Ignition! Launch! The rocket screamed to life as the vessel lifted of the ground. It was on a mission to save the kerbals stranded on the Mun for the past seven years. It burned to the Mun and crashlanded, losing only a landing gear. The standed kerbals then used the rover on the Mun to get themselves to the rocket. Then boarded and Lifted off back to Kerbin. Returning from the Mun, safely.
