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.)
• Post your pictures here.

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.)
• Post your pictures here.

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.
• Post your pictures here.

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.
• Post your pictures here.

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!
