Communication Satellite Deployment System – I
Mass: 83.904
Cost: 59,427
Class: Pilot Assisted Satellite Deployment System
Crew: Valentina Kerman
We attempted to make a satellite deployment system piloted by one of our kerbal cosmonaughts but it did not have enough fuel to establish an orbit.
The silver lining was we landed in the Desert.
Space Walker
Mass: 42.435
Cost: 29,121
Class: Kerbal Transport
Crew: Valentina Kerman
The first Kerbal to ever do a space walk landed safetly back onto Kerbin about an hour later.
It was a good day for science and Kerbalkind.
The Space Walker had 1 goal and it succeeded.
P.O.L.A.R. (Polar Orbiting Long Arctic Radio)
Mass: 44.152
Cost: 23,778
Class: Satellite
Gathering some science for us while POLAR was at the pad and in space. Plus it’s now a Communications Satellite in polar orbit.
The satellite was sold for 350,000 but we still get some bandwidth for our own equipment.
It’s orbiting at 15,000KM.
Iron Potato
Mass: 42.962
Cost: 23,546
Class: Satellite
The first space craft launched without any issues. Dusting off the control boards over at command and re-remembering how space flight works.
It’s orbiting at 1,400KM at the equator, with one broken Antenna.
