A Kerbal Space Program Blog
L.O.K.R.U (Low-ka-roo)
Mass: 58.868
Cost: 20,529
Class: Single Kerbal Atmospheric Re-Entry Vehicle
Crew: None, Until there is One
We had the best intentions. Then it all went south.
We had picked up Katgel from LKO and survived the re-entry into the atmosphere but the landing zone was a mountain.
As Katgel tumbled down the mountain we all hoped they would make it out alive but instead fiery death visited the craft.
Geosat Delivery System
Mass: 49.922
Cost: 33,651
Class: Satellite Deployment System
Crew: None
When planning for unkerbal’d missions one must maintain almost constant contact with the probe in question. These two new geosynchronous com sats will hopefully help us in that department, and hey it was cheap.
L.O.K.R.U (Low-ka-roo)
Mass: 58.868
Cost: 20,529
Class: Single Kerbal Atmospheric Re-Entry Vehicle
Crew: None, Until there is One
When we got the call that Mary Kerbal was stuck in LKO we rang the bell to wake up the warehouse crew and pull out that dusty ol’ Kerbal Retreaval Unit.
As if we had done this a thousand times before, we were able rendezvous with Mary’s ship and bring her home within a day’s time.
Another free kerbalnaught to add to the agency.
Communication Satellite Charlie
Mass: 60.083
Cost: 35,598
Class: Communication Satellite
Crew: None
With the Mun base operational we needed a decent way of sending and receiving information from the surface. This somewhat inexpensive x3 dish com sat does the job.
Communication Satellite Beta
Mass: 45.534
Cost: 27,258
Class: Communications Satellite
Crew: None
We need better communication for our unmanned ships and science experiments. We are looking to make the best and cheapest product possible.
This com sat comes with 3 2.0G Relay Dishes and has enough fuel to end up in any orbit around Kebin. Possibly even the Mun, future launches will let us know if that’s possible.
It’s got our best tech on it and will help us set up the future Mun base successfully.
Mun Lander – II
Mass: 188.743
Cost: 70,352
Class: Zero Atmosphere Lander
Crew: Bob Kerman
After the loss of Jebediah we needed a win and a win we got. Bob Kerman sucessfully landed on the Mun, did some science and is awaiting more supplies for a long term Mun Base.
We were able to not only send a larger payload but it cost less to do it.
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 – II
Mass: 109.346
Cost: 67,858
Class: Pilot Assisted Satellite Deployment System
Crew: Valentina Kerman
Once again Valentina strapped into the new CSDS ready to pilot the ship again and this time was successful in setting up the satellite relays but upon re-entry was burned up in the atmosphere.
A moment of silence for Valentina 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.
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.
