A little bit of backstory for KSP is provided through progression-based contracts. These consist of the [[Kerbin World-Firsts Record-Keeping Society Contracts]] (WFRKS) and exploration contracts. The special feature of this contracts is that they have deadline date (after they are excepted). The exploration contracts are offered through random agencies and always consist of entering SOI, achieving orbit, transmitting/recovery data from orbit, landing and transmitting/recovery of data from surface.

A little bit of backstory for KSP is provided through progression-based contracts. These consist of the Kerbin World-Firsts Record-Keeping Society contracts (WFRKS) and exploration contracts. The special feature of these contracts is that they have no deadline date after they are accepted. The exploration contracts are offered through random agencies and always consist of entering SOI, achieving orbit, transmitting/recovery data from orbit, landing and transmitting/recovery of data from surface.

Sometimes you have to decline some contracts in order for a "story" contract to pop up when the pre-conditions are met (the contracts will not be offered again, if you miss the first opportunity).

If an objective is achieved before the corresponding contract is accepted, the contract will vanish without any benefits for completion. As the WFRKS contracts are very profitable that is not desirable.

WFRKS will sometimes also offer "normal" contracts that expire.

Strategy

The storyline contracts will ask you to come back several times to the same celestial body in order to do repetitive tasks with different ships (for example undocking and directly docking a ship in orbit doesn't count as a contract goal).

Therefore it is advised, for the first flyby mission, to launch a 3 part ship containing

  • the interplanetary ship with a Kerbin-reentry capable module
  • a dedicated transfer ship only for the EVA and transfer goals, and eventually enough delta-v to join other moons by itself
  • a lander with enough delta-v to land on the body and go back to orbit

More details in this tutorial.
