Introduction
With the completion of the Kerbal Space Station, the Kerbal Space Program once again turned its attention to the exploration of the Kerbol system. This time, Kerbal scientists wanted the Jool mapped and its scientific information properly recorded. So a large probe was constructed to explore Jool and its moons, with another small probe to discover just what was beneath the gas planet's green clouds.
Specifications
- Length:
- Difficulty:
- Skills Needed: Everything needed for basic space flight, Interplanetary Travel
- For Version: Every Version Post-1.8 (currently being tested on 0.23)
Missions
Joolileo Probe
- Construct the main Joolileo probe that will orbit Jool and perform flybys of its moons Laythe, Vall and Tylo.
- Probe must contain at least four scientific experiments
- Probe must contain at least two Communotron 16 antennas and at least one other dish antenna
- Probe must contain two electric generators and must have at least a 2000 electrical storage capacity
- Probe must contain RCS
- Probe must have a means of adjusting its orbit when necessary
Jool Descent Probe
- Construct a smaller probe that will be attached to the main Joolileo probe and will descend into Jool's atmosphere
- Probe must carry at least three scientific experiments, including a GRAVMAX Negative Gravioli Detector, a 2HOT Thermometer and a PresMat Barometer
- Probe must carry at least one parachute
- Probe must be able to detach from main probe and adjust its orbit to enter Jool's atmosphere, where it must successfully deploy its parachute(s)
- Probe must make it below 75,000 m without losing any parts except as intended
Joolileo Launch
- Have a space shuttle launch Joolileo into a Kerbin escape trajectory, and then have it fly to Jool
- Probe must be launched into a Kerbin escape trajectory by a space shuttle
- Probe must make a flyby of Eve, using it as a planetary slingshot
(Tip: Make sure that the Joolileo probe has sufficient fuel and thrust to make the voyage from Kerbin to Jool, with fuel left over for orbital maneuvers within the Joolian system. This may require a middle booster stage, depending on what the actual probe is like).
Joolian System Exploration
- Have Joolileo orbit and flyby Jool and its moons
- Joolileo must circularize at 325,000 m above Jool, with no more than a 45 degree orbital inclination
- Descent probe must then be separated from Joolileo and sent down to Jool
- Joolileo must increase its orbit and perform a flyby within 500,000 m of Laythe
- Probe must perform a flyby within 500,000 m of Vall
- Probe must perform a flyby within 500,000 m of Tylo
