It took me 12 minutes of burning to get this thing into orbit around Minmus, and after that it was relatively easy to put it in a nice orbit for things to dock with. I didn't even know this was a thing until I asked my question on reddit. Autostrutting 4 of my 16 engines to the asteroid. This wasn't easy as the asteroid was very bumpyĢ. I figured that as soon as I lock my claw (as opposed to leaving it in free pivot mode) it all locks in and I can burnġ. Do I have to find one that is? And then rotate the asteroid around? I can do that, but I didn't think it was a requirement. You are right though, that isn't a parallel surface. Look at my navball though, my centre of thrust seems to be perfectly aligned with the centre of mass. My scientists have been lazy and haven't figured out the details, but I'm going to use this opportunity to figure out how to build a fuel replenishing station, and then try to set up such a thing in the Jool system and then do a set of Jool missions. I might need to put up a space telescope to find one first. Next I accepted a contract to bring in an asteroid and put it around Minmus. Right now I have the whole tech tree unlocked except for 2 things, but it's still fun to do science missions so whatever They have a lot of science to go through, but I will bring them home when they are done. ![]() So now I have 2 science labs, one around Gilly and one on Duna, with a scientist in each. I ended up crashing it into the planet for fun. But it was just a test ship and was never supposed to be there in the first place, so whatever. The probes didn't have enough parachutes (as I suspected) and it was all a big failure. The relay satellites worked perfectly too, even though one was accidentally launched without any RCS fuel and as a result has a fairly low and circular orbit.Ī little while later the Venus Test Ship entered the system and deployed 2 probes, which were supposed to land on Eve. And since I was in such a low orbit around Eve to begin with, getting them down on the ground was easy. All 4 probes landed in different biomes and resulted in respectable amounts of science. Then it was able to get into orbit around Gilly to deploy the science lab, and will probably have enough fuel to get back home after all the science has been scienced away The interplanetary stage had enough fuel to get to Eve, park in convenient orbits to deploy the relay satellites, then park in a low orbit in order to release the probes. It also contains a science lab bound for orbit around Gilly It contains 2 relay satellites for the Eve system, responsible for ensuring that the 4 probes are actually able to do their thing. The next 2 launches assembled the Venus Mothership, below seen burning for Eve The first launch was a test launch and ended up making it all the way to Eve anyway and sort of became a part of the mission. It actually included 3 launches instead of the scheduled 2. That makes it easier to figure out I guess. ![]()
