Ep 1 Age of rocketry
Introduction
Several thousand years ago, the Kerbese invented solid fuel rockets for their firework displays. Later, the Kerbals invented the K2 rocket capable of launching a relatively unguided ballistic missile on an island across the ocean, terrorizing the local fauna. Robert Kerman then invented the liquid fueled rocket. Help each group maintain their progress toward the goal of a liquid fueled two stage rocket capable of reaching 70,000m, the beginning of space.
This campaign is designed to present you with a mission manifest that will allow you to accomplish the final goal of reliably launching an unmanned rocket on a controlled suborbital trajectory of your choosing.
Specifications
Length: 1-2 hours
Difficulty: 1/10 (Very Easy)
Skills needed:
Vehicle assembly (see Basic Rocket Design)
Basic navball familiarity
For version: Every version (tested on 0.21.276)
Missions
Solid Fuel Rocketry
Launch RT-10 Solid Fuel Booster Rocket
Must be unmanned
Must have nosecone
Launch Two-Stage Solid Fuel Rocket
Must be unmanned
Must be successfully retrieved (i.e., have a parachute)
(Tip: To retrieve a craft, move the cursor to the center of the top of the screen. This can only be done after landing or splashing down.)
Liquid Fuel Rocketry
Launch LVT-30 Liquid Fuel Rocket Eastwards
Must be unmanned
Must have nosecone or parachute
Land that thing in the ocean lest you worry the ‘Kerbiets’
Launch Two-Stage LV-T30 Liquid Fuel Rocket and Maintain 45 degrees Eastwards after 10,000 m and Reach Space (70 km)
Must be unmanned
Must have nosecone or parachute
Enjoy the music once you reach 70,000 m
(Note: You do not need to establish an orbit – save that challenge for the Space Race campaign)
K2 Rocket
Those pesky Kermans…
Launch LV-T30 Liquid Fuel Rocket and control its reentry point
Missile must go above 70 km
Missile must land near a pre-selected island of your choosing
(Tip: The blue line indicating your trajectory does not account for atmospheric drag, so aim accordingly!)
Finishing word
After your two-stage liquid fuel rocket is past 70 km, you’re well on your way to becoming the next Robert Kerman and igniting the Space Race.
Ep 2 Space Race
Introduction
The Age of Rocketry sparked the imaginations of Kerbals everywhere. What was once a dream was becoming reality. The race was on to put the first things into orbit. Robert Kerman and his intrepid Kerbicans aimed to launch the first Kerbal-made object into Kerbin orbit… that is, until the Kerbiets behind their Iron Kertain launched their Stayputnik into orbit. The Space Race had begun! Not to be outdone, the great Robert Kerman with his new Kerbal Space Program planned to get the first man into space… but they were outdone yet again by the Kerbiets. But in the end, the Kerbal Space Program would have the final word and launch the first Kerbal into a sustained orbit around Kerbin and bring him back safely. His legacy, the Kerbal Space Program, would come to dominate the Space Race from that point forward, but not without its share of semi-expendable half-volunteered core of Kerbonauts sacrificing their lives for the scientific good of all Kerbalkind as it began its race to the Mun.
This campaign is designed to present you with a mission manifest that will allow you to accomplish the final goal of reliably launching the Stayputnik satellite into orbit, dipping your fingers into space, and your first manned orbit and safe return.
Specifications
Length: 1 hour
Difficulty: 2/10 (Easy)
Skills needed:
Intermediate navball familiarity
Reentry procedure
Vehicle assembly (see Basic Rocket Design)
Ability to complete Age of Rocketry
For version: Every version (tested on 0.20.2)
Missions
Stayputnik, the First Satellite
Launch a Two-Stage Liquid Fuel Rocket into Orbit with a Satellite or Stayputnik 1
The Kerbnik probe in the Lander and Probe Pack on CurseForge is an accurate reproduction of the real Sputnik.
Must contain at least 4 Communotron 16 antennas.
Antennas must deploy after reaching orbit.
Must contain enough electric charge (batteries!) to broadcast for a full orbit.
(Tip: as your launches become more complex, it’s usually a good idea to test them out to make sure your staging is set correctly.)
(Tip: try establishing an action group to extend the antennas.)
Yuri Kerman, the First Kerbal in Space
Launch a Kerbal into an Orbital Flight with an Apoapsis greater than 70,000m and Safe Return
For added realism, the Home-Grown Rockets mod on CurseForge has stockalike Soyuz parts that can easily be used to represent a Vostok craft.
Kerbal must return safely. This is assumed for all future missions unless otherwise specified – you don’t want to scare off volunteers, especially this early in the space program.
Must land on land (that’s how Vostok 1 landed in real life).
Project Moho: Alan Kerman, the First Kerbal to go ’round the World
Launch a Kerbal into an Orbital Flight with a Periapsis greater than 70,000m and Safe Return
The FASA mod on CurseForge has accurate Mercury, Redstone, and Atlas parts.
Must complete 11 orbits.
Must land in water (Bonus points if it is near the Kerbal Space Center).
Feel free to go through the rest of the Moho program. This includes one more Redstone flight, and four Atlas flights.
Finishing word
After the successful launch of Alan Kerman into a controlled orbit around Kerbin, the race was on for the Mun and beyond, beginning with the Age of Satellites.
