This campaign is a work in progress. Please do not delete this page.

Introduction

The Kerbal Space Program is now starting and as a new President of the KSC, we should get going. This campaign will cover everything there is of KSP: From building the first test rocket to an Interstellar Planetary Station (IPS) whose orbit is beyond Eeloo. Do not dream too big if you're new because we'll cover some basic stuff first before we launch our first interplanetary mission. For now, we'll stick to the Kerbin's SOI

Specifications

  • Length: Unknown (A long time)
  • Difficulty: Increasing from 0/10 to 7/10
  • Skills Needed: We'll learn this along the way, but Basic Construction skill may be useful -> Basic Rocket Building (unfinished) and Basic Spaceplane Design (incomplete)
  • KSP Version: 1.0.5 or 1.1
  • Mods: MechJeb or equivalent, but MechJeb is recommended for its autopilot.
  • Game Modes: Sandbox

On-Kerbin Missions

Learning How to Fly

Briefing: The KSC members welcome you to the community. Before you'll be allowed to send Kerbals up there, however, you'll need to prove to the staff that you can handle everything that's flying IN KERBIN. The 3 first missions are designed to teach you how to fly them.

Construction

Since this is your first mission, the structure of the construction points might be confusing, so there will be an explanation afterwards. There will also be another explanation for every new stuff you encounter. Take note that this structure is true for this campaign only

This mission requires the following craft to be constructed:

  • Payload
    • Stayputnik Mk1
    • 1x Z-200 Battery
  • Launch Vessel
    • 1x TR-18A Decoupler
    • 1x FL-T100 Fuel Tank
    • 1x T-1 Aerospike Engine

The structure for the vessel is divided into sections depending on the type of vessel. For now, a Payload is anything that you keep in space, i.e the functional part of the rocket. All manned command modules fit in this category, while probes can either be a Payload or involved in other stages.

A Launch Vessel is a set of rockets which functions to bring all of the other stages to the thinner atmosphere. It's not designed to go to space with the rest of the rocket, but it is possible for a Launch Vessel to go into space as long as the above stages are light enough

If it isn't light enough, the rocket will be placed into orbit by the Orbital Stage
