So I functionaly "towed" my rover to Ike. Using the Large Truss I built a frame to hold engines, wings and landing gear so I could "fly" the Rover in to orbit (then jettison the wings/etc), land on Ike, then decouple the rover, and later the 'frame'. I'm using the MK3 parts for the core of my SSTO, with engines on the sides of the Fuselage/Wings. So I decided I would make a rover and go that way since I have had all the rover wheels unlocked for a while. Then I had a few contracts pop up for Duna and Ike. So I returned to Eve and managed to land on dry ground. So I finally managed to get a workable SSTO design, and although I've re-built it with different engines multiple times, it's still my workhorse. it is Kerbal SPACE Program, not Kerbal SURFACE Program. Maybe prep for some mining/long term surface exploring.īut then again. Now that I have Relay Satelites setup, I think I may send some Probe Core controlled orbital fuel stations to Duna and Eve.
#Kerbal space program splashed down install#
I'm playing 1.5.x, I have multiple backups of various 1.3.x, and I think a 1.4.x.īut I didn't copy them back over from the backup drive, so all I have right now is the install in the Steam folder. I usually bring multiple (at least 2, preferably 4) relay satelites on the transfer stage and then drop them in orbit so the signal strength stays >90%. 1.5.X appearently 1.25m docking ports no longer dock with the 2.5m port. I did manage to actually dock the 2nd time I tried (in orbit around Kerbin).
I didn't want to have to do an orbital docking maneuver.Īlthough, in hindsight, I could do like I did (before I had a game crash) and space walk between the two to get back. Landed on all of them, Mun and Minmus multiple times.Įve was the most recent, didn't orbit Gilly, or land there.
I just get hung up doing all the other little missions and stuff around kerbin, so I've been playing the same save for almost a year now, and still on 1.3.1. Which, after transferring the crew, will move onto Moho and do some landings there with the other 7 kerbals on board, and then come back for the base crew on Eve. There's minimal LS on the lander, enough for a month or so, just enough to get back up to the mothership. The Rover is met in orbit by the mothership, and the crew transfers there, and lands. The Lander and Rover are sent up unmanned, and the lander lands unmanned. The lander is too heavy to land fueled, so the rover has to refuel it from mining.
Also gets difficult when add in Life Support to the mix. Long term rover/base to do some exploring, and a launcher to get me back. My first official mission is on it's way, but I've tested all the systems in sandbox. Hopefully, I can get all of it done this time! NOW, I get to go back and "land", and do the other contract that I didn't do. I made it to kerbin with enough fuel to have made the "Hop" to land. I wan't sure how much fuel it would take to get back. So I started to lauch up to see if I could "hop" over land.ĭidn't go exactly as planned, but I was able to get into orbit. So after I needed to deploy my parachutes, I seperated the transfer stage, and it splashed down.īut then I landed in the water. I made it to Eve, actually started the deorbit burn with the transfer stage.
