Mun III Mission Preview

Categories:

Video

Commander Bob and Captain Desson will be flying aboard Mun III, which is a re-attempt of the Mun I mission that ended in a failed ascent back in December of 2014. Their mission will be the first kerbals to orbit Mun and return, while doing so they will service 4 satellites currently in orbit around Mun. See how it will be done during this 3-day mission that will be the longest and furthest ever flown by the kerbals in space.

Asteroid Tracking Network – Initial Report (1/30/15)

Categories:

Video

This first video from the ATN shows the location of all 488 currently tracked asteroids and explains the categorization system in use. Each month the ATN will release a new video not only showing the asteroids in motion but new asteroids as they are discovered throughout the month.

The Asteroid Tracking Network is a group of observatories around Kerbin who are partially/fully dedicated to finding and tracking asteroids in the Kerbol system, with the ultimate goal of spotting dangerous asteroids that could pose a threat to Kerbin. It is organized and managed by astronomer Edlu Kerman.

Orbital Sunrise

Categories:

Video

Travel along with one of our satellites as its onboard camera captures the sun rising over Kerbin from 350km. The video has been sped up to 2x normal speed for a better sense of motion, despite the fact that the craft is traveling at 1.9km/s!

Mun I Launch Abort

Categories:

Video

Our recent launch to place kerbals in orbit around Mun was forced to abort during ascent. After booster separation main engine throttle up did not occur and the rocket began to succumb to lateral air flow and tip over backwards. Afraid of a possible structural failure that would break up the entire rocket, Commander Bob triggered the LES while almost perpendicular to the craft’s velocity vector and the capsule was spun violently, producing several seconds of 6-8Gs. Both Cmdr Bob and Capt Desson were recovered from the Kerblantic without injuries. The cause of the engine failure will be under investigation

Kerbin Satellites – 11/30/14

Categories:

Video

The video begins with all satellites in Kerbin orbit positioned as of 12:01:29 UTC on 11/30/14 and advances 13.5 hours at a rate of 500x normal speed. Kerbin’s rotational axis position is not proper, but all satellite positions are accurate.

LEGEND
Red – Debris/Nonoperational satellites
Orange – Operational satellites
Green – Communication satellites

We apologize for the motion blur and will have to capture data at a higher frame rate next time.

IP ComSat II – SRB Separation

Categories:

Video

We’ve been having trouble lately with our new recoverable boosters separating cleanly from the rocket during launch – we even lost one rocket due to an impact on the main engine! As you can see however, decoupling is much better now.
