Difference between revisions of "Campaign: Budget Cuts"

Introduction

While the Kerbals were getting ready to go on a new flag planting spree all over Eeloo ,the Kerbal government finally realized that it had better things to do than spend billions of dollars on a space program who's rockets explode half the time. So, they met in their secret office of doom! and decided to cut 50% of the KSP's budget. Well, Werhner Von Braun had a fit after that. While he was in the hospital recovering his sanity, the people back at the space center who were still sane (The orange suits) devised a plan to convince the Government to give them their money back. And what better way than to launch rovers everywhere and talk about it on social media!

Specifications

• Length: I'm not going to test this.
• Difficulty: Very Hard
• Skills needed: Interplanetary travel capability, rover landing skills, rover drivers license.
• For version: Every version

Missions

Minimus

MIN-001

The first minimus rover launched in this new horrifingly budget cutted age, it must have:

• Unmanned.
• A comm device.
• Enough electricity to last through the night.
• At least 4 solar panels.
• Landing site in a flats biome ( preferably near a highlands biome).
• All scientific experiments. We want to get the most out of each probe.
• Once you have landing, take a picture of yourself in the biome.
• Enter the highlands biomes near the flats.

MIN-002

The second minimus rover launched in this new horrifyingly budget cutted age, it must have:

• Unmanned.
• A comm device.
• Enough electricity to last through the night.
• At least 4 solar panels.
• Landing site in North pole area near broken terrain.
• All scientific experiments. We want to get the most out of each probe.
• Once you have landing, take a picture of yourself in the biome.
• Explore, photograph, and do experiments near the broken terrain anomaly.

Eve

EV3-001

An Eve interplanetary rover, it must have these ( Requested by Werhner Von Braun, now partially sane.):

• Unmanned.
• Enough electricity to last through the night.
• All science experiments.
• Parachutes.
• Comm device.
• At least 4 solar panels.
• Land near the shore.
• While hurtling through the atmosphere, do an atmosphere analysis.
• When you land, take a picture of yourself.
• Rove towards the water.
• Do science in the water and photograph yourself in it.

EV3-002

An Eve interplanetary rover, it must have these,( Requested by Werhner Von Braun, now almost sane.):

• Unmanned.
• Enough electricity to last through the night.
• All science experiments.
• Parachutes.
• Comm device.
• At least 4 solar panels.
• Land near a crater.
• While hurtling through the atmosphere, do an atmosphere analysis.
• When you land, take a picture of yourself.
• Rove around the crater.
• Do science in the center of the crater and photograph yourself in it.

Dres

DR-001

Next is Dres, a lonely space potato. Rumors have circulated that it is an actual space potato. Send a rover there to investigate the claims. Here's what you need.

• Unmanned.
• Enough electricity to last through the night.
• All science experiments.
• Comm device.
• At least 4 solar panels.
• Land in a crater.
• When you land, take a picture of yourself.
• Rove around the crater.
• Go to a suitable spot, and "Analyze" the soil for potato like organic compounds. Just touch the ground with something.(Communtron 16's work the best.)

DR-002

An analysis of the rovers data has found potato like organic compounds in the soil. To verify the claim, we want you to check the soil in the maria.

• Unmanned.
• Enough electricity to last through the night.
• All science experiments.
• Comm device.
• At least 4 solar panels.
• Land in a Maria.
• When you land, take a picture of yourself.
• Rove around Maria
• Go to a suitable spot, and "Analyze" the soil for potato like organic compounds. Just touch the ground with something.(Communtron 16's work the best.)

Laythe

LY-001

Next is Laythe, an almost habitable planet. To settle the question of life existing there, various academic organizations have funded you to send a rover to Laythe. Here's what you need:

• Unmanned.
• Enough electricity to last through the night.
• All science experiments.
• Comm device.
• At least 4 solar panels.
• Land on an island.
• When you land, take a picture of yourself.
• Rove around the island.
• Go to a suitable spot, and "Analyze" the soil for organic compounds. Just touch the ground with something.(Communtron 16's work the best.)
• Include a self destruct sequence (using action groups) if intelligent life is met. You have to at least destroy the rover core, at most destroy the entire rover.

LY-002

The results are in, and the soil is filled with benign bacteria. We want you to test the water for organic compounds, to see how far life has reached.

• Unmanned.
• Enough electricity to last through the night.
• All science experiments.
• Comm device.
• At least 4 solar panels.
• Land near the water on an island.
• When you land, take a picture of yourself.
• Rove around the island.
• Go in the water, and "Analyze" the water for organic compounds. Just go in the water.
• Include a self destruct sequence (using action groups) if intelligent life is met. You have to at least destroy the rover core, at most destroy the entire rover.

Finishing word

The Government still won't fund the KSC, so it is up to the people to intiate the next stage of Kerbal evolution: Civilian Spaceflight!
