Kerbal Space Adventures

#cometlanding

Success for Science! A Class C asteroid was captured and turned into a permanent lab in Kerbin orbit.

On the final mission of its class, the Deep Space Lab ship design has proven successful in setting up a permanent base of operations around Jool. The Company does not look at this as the end of deep space research, but as the beginning of a new era.

Buoyed by the success of the DSL ship design, first-time-Captain Sherley Kerman and team embarked on an ambitious mission to venture to a planet never before visited - Eeloo. This icy rock at the edge of the solar system proved no challenge to the well-trained kerbonauts, who now inhabit a permanent stable orbit.

Testing of the Deep Space Science Lab went so well that its first mission was extended to Duna, an impromptu mission across the solar system, where captain Chad Kerman safely orbited and began experiments with his team. The mission was a resounding success.

Chad and Johnfrod Kerman made history with a round trip Jool fly-by, collecting valuable Science from Jool and Laythe.

The two-man trip took four years, marking the longest (and furthest) manned mission carried out to date.

A malfunction on one of the Science Jr. laboratories caused temporary simulated sentience, but after power cycling no trace of the anomaly remained.

Following Donlie’s example, Captain Chad Kerman piloted a similar vessel to Eve in the name of Science.

Although the planet itself remains a mystery, the mission returned a rock sample from its moon, Gilly, back to the labs on Kerbin.

Donlie Kerman has become a hero of the people after becoming the first Kerbal to set foot on, and return from, Duna.

The Company appreciates his contribution to Science.

Captains Jack, Donlie and Milrie Kerman today launched a lengthy and successful Mün landing, and orbital Mün probe insertion, in the name of Science.

A design flaw was responsible for the failure of the Service Module’s engine shortly after takeoff, so the crew were authorized to use the Lunar Module’s engine as a backup method of getting to Kerbin’s moon and back. The lack of second engine required both ships to return to the planet together, contrary to the mission plan, but seasoned pilot Donlie pulled it off with aplomb and no Science was harmed.

Jeb’s thirst for Science has left him stranded on Mun, awaiting rescue!

Initial space plane experiments on Duna today were a failure, leading to the loss of Ludlin Kerman. Scientists are now certain that there is no oxygen in Duna’s atmosphere. Unfortunately, without a working engine the inexperienced pilot was unable to safely glide to the surface.

New horizons…

A new observation station was placed in Kerbin orbit, the S.S. Kubrick. It shall pave the way for a new generation of astronomical observation!

What do you do when you have a working rocket design? Re-use it again, and again! Welcome, Kerbonauts, to Laythe.
