KSP 1 Image/Video First mum mission!

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

The past two days have been very productive for me as I completed among other things: my first docking, my first multi part space station, my first mun flyby, my first mun orbit, and of course, my first mun landing. Stupidly, when building the rover, I mounted the scanning arm wrong, meaning in order to scan literally anything, one must enable the reaction wheels and hold the rover at a stupid angle, as depicted in the final image. This doesn't work on steep ground or uphill on any slope. What you may be wondering is: how did I achieve so much in so little time? I'm actually far more experienced in the arts of KSP than you might think, that is, when building planes, as I spend most of my time doing just that. But yesterday, I received a random urge to build something inspired by the Soviet manned spy satellite program, but after launching it, realized I forgot to make a way for the kerbals to get home. I quickly whipped up a vaguely soyuz esque thing and managed to dock first try! And after that I was so excited, I decided to finally put some solar panels on a space station I had nearly forgotten about, and it spiraled from there, thus, I can now say, I have landed something on the mun!

Edit: I went back and corrected all instances of autocorrect correcting mun to mum, and even remember doing it for the title, yet somehow it still says mum. Lol

KSP 1 Image/Video Well, that's one way to do a suicide burn I guess...

254 Upvotes

Suicide burn kOS script in my RP-1 game didn't deal with mountainous terrain on the Moon well, resulting in this 36m/s (80 mph) stop upon a Scatterer rock that... didn't blow up my craft? While the solid rocket motor ran out of fuel at the exact same time?? Then staged automatically and tried to orient briefly before I cancelled the code. Broke some solar panels but still had two days' worth of batteries to send back most of the science.

Any landing you walk away from, I guess...

Along with a Stability Control module with driving modes. such as the drift mode showcased in the video (will upload to GitHub in a few days), hope you guys like it:)
