Loc: Over the hills and far away.

Here one of my first tests.
My command module floating not long after disconnecting from my prototype rocket.
I seem to be able to get in space but need to find the power and way to stay there a little longer smile
Just have the game, bought the last version , and already cannot stop experimenting anymore.
Many Kerbals gave their life for my projects!

My best regards, Kodiak.

As far as i know, no kerbal monkeys (konkeys ?) and no kerbal doggies (koggies ?). Kerbals are plentiful anyway. They live to serve ;-)

But for inspiration there is a cheap design, not very aerodynamic, but has great panoramic views.

ITs called the plankwood flyer by Silisko Industries

Trying out a new crazy design to drag sateelites up into space. Its bulky, its scary, its over-engineered, but most of all its dangerous.........just the way we like it. (craft pictured is a fraction of what it is as a whole)

Many a kerbal have given their lives for satellite T.V. !

Over the sounth pole at 105klms above mean sea level. (another sattelite is at 100klms at a 90 degree plane)



A picture of the satellite's plane and my space junk.



Satellite released into its orbit.



Deploying solar fins, satellite is ready to stream T.V.



Now its time for the moon. A smaller satellite to be released at very low orbit 4 klms to provide a musical interlude to the brave kerbals stuck on the mun in my makeshift Mun-base

Whilst Jebidiah is always maniacally happy, Bill and Bob seemed less impressed of the low alt and high speed by their expressions.



Satellite with solar panels deployed.

bogusheadbox, what add-ons are you using?
You have links of them for download? I could use some real nice add-ons like you seem to have.

My best regards, Kodiak.

I don't have many mods and like to use stock parts when i can as some mod parts can be an imbalance (but its up to the way you like to play the game)

Silisko Industries (Novasilisko has linked all his mods onto the front of his forum thread)
http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=6397.0

Mechjeb (autopilot function modules) Brilliant piece of work this.
http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=8021.0

C7 is another one that seems very popular, but i don't have that yet.

Thanks bogusheadbox for the links.
I had already a few add-ons but didn't know what are the good ones.
I downloaded the ones in your links, very nice!
But I still have lots to learn about this game.
I am a long way from going to the mun! smile
Still practicing to bring things in orbit.
My orbits are mostly shaped like a big egg, lol smile
Not to mention all the Kerbals I launched into deep space without a chance of ever returning to Kerbal. biggrin

My best regards, Kodiak.
