First Mun missions completed!

Image
  Year 1, Day 12 In the previous article, we discussed KSA planning a crewed Mun mission. And now, just a few days later, they have been completed! Mungram 1 was a partial success. Not as much data as was wanted to be captured was captured, but otherwise, it was a success! The rocket, Munship V, took off from Kerbin at the 5th hour carrying pilot Jebediah Kerman, engineer Bill Kerman, and scientist Bob Kerman. They orbited the Mun for a few hours and returned to Kerbin. Mungram 11, the technically second Mun mission was the more exciting one. This time, they took off from Kerbin into a parking orbit, and went for the Mun. After about 2 days of waiting, they arrived at the Mun and slowed into a low orbit. The LM (Lander Module) was waiting for Jebediah and Bill to enter. After entering, the LM disconnected from the Service Module and begun its descent to the surface of the Mun. After a perfect landing in a small crater not far from the East Crater Basin, Jebediah stepped out of the ...

Evera 1 landed on the surface of Eve!

  Year 2, Day 100 Evera 1, the uncrewed Eve lander, has successfully landed on the surface of Eve and scientific measurements are being taken right now! Eve also appears to be not as nice and Kerbin-like as we thought. In fact, it seems pretty deadly. If you want more details about the mission, check the last post. Here are the first images from the surface of Eve: Here are the first sounds that have come back from the surface of Eve:

KSA launches the first satellite in to Kerbin Orbit!

Image
  Year 1, Day 1 Today, the Kerbal Space Administration launches its first official mission; a mission to Kerbin orbit! Approved yesterday by mission leader Gene Kerman, this starts the Space Program's quest to reach the stars. Several other launch sites facepalm as they realize the Kerbal Space Administration reached space first! The satellite launched into orbit, called Stayputnik, will attempt to read data from outer space using its sensors. It includes a temperature sensor, gravity sensor, barometer, black and white camera, and 4 antennae for communication back to the ground. The mission will likely end in about 3 months when in reenters the atmosphere and burns up like a shooting star. First photos are expected to come back soon! May this be a huge leap for Kerbal-kind in the advancement of technology! IMPORTANT UPDATE: The first images of Kerbin have come back, and they are absolutely breathtaking! Have a look:
