S.S.A. Launcher I
Mass: 8.1
Cost: 17,080
Class: Sub-Orbit Satellite
Crew: unmanned
Only launched to get some quick cash and test out the new system.
The Mining rig set sail for Eve’s moon “Gilly” the smallest celestial body in the Kerbol system.
It’s goal was to land re-fuel and then head towards Moho at which point it would land re-fuel and then head back to either Kerbin or Gilly depending on thrust capacity.
Sloth Scraper Asteroid Grabber
Mass: 334.459
Cost: 131,323
Class: Asteroid Redirect Ship
Crew: Tedrim and Maya Kerman
Have you ever bitten off more than you could chew? Well we did at S.S.A.
After finally making contact with the Class E asteroid and grabbing it with the claw, we noticed that with the remaining fuel we could only slow said asteroid down by 2m/s which is practically nothing.
On the plus side we got to touch an asteroid.
LKO Kerbal Retrieval Unit – III
Mass: 108.463
Cost: 40,542
Class: LKO Kerbal Pickup
Crew: None, until two
Finally we have brought back two Kerbals from the Mun. Along with them came some rocks we can analyze.
Mun Lander I
Mass: 203.140
Cost: 71,980
Class: Zero Atmosphere Lander
Crew: Jebediah Kerman
The plan was to land on the Mun, plant a flag, gather some Mun dust, and at a minimum orbit the mun and wait for pickup.
Sadly that minimum was not met and Jebediah Kerman’s mangled corpse will forever sit on the Mun as the amount of remaining fuel was not enough to create an orbit around the Mun.
A moment of silence for Jebediah Kerman.
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.
