There are none as of yet. Currently the Sandbox is the only available game mode. Please see Player Developed Campaigns below if you want to be challenged with the current sandbox.
Kerbal Space Program Player Developed Campaigns
Currently Campaign Mode has yet to be developed for KSP. Until then, the KSP player community offers the following logical campaign mission progression manifest to players looking to follow a near historical and future age list of mission goals and milestones that can be done in the current sandbox. These campaign ideas are listed here to help you plan your own space program. Feel free to add your own ideas to the list, or add additional missions to existing campaigns:
Rules
Rules:
- Spaceflight is expensive, and technology progressive. Challenge yourself to build the simplest and cheapest launch systems and spacecraft to accomplish the mission.
- SAS modules don't exist until the middle of the Kerbinai Program, so don't use them until then (yes hotshot, you will need to fly using your onboard Control Module SAS only).
- If an advanced part exists, don't use it if an alternative exists and you can still accomplish your mission.
Campaigns

- Kerbollo 13 (Rescue missions and escape pod development)
- Kerbol System Exploration (probes to Minmus, Duna, and Eve, and multiplanetary probes)
