Deeper Probes and Capsule Tests
It's been a while since I did Kerbalism. I am back and am going to do a Mariner 3 and Ranger 5 mission set (using the Mariner 1/2 craft). Than another Korabl test.
Launch date: March 31, 1951
Mariner 3 (Ranger 5)
Mariner Probe (6408 dV)
Mun Flyby for Ranger (peri between 60km and 75km) and then off to heliocentric orbit for both to complete.
Solid and uneventful mission.
<Mariner 3>
Another unmanned capsule test (Korabl-Sputnik 4) with orbit and successful splashdown.
Launch date: April 10, 1951
Korabl-Sputnik 4
Vostok Base Historical 2 (4676 dV)
Basic orbit and splashdown mission.
150 orbit, 5deg (50%) ascent path.
(I actually had to do this mission again because I forgot I removed the parachute for the failure mission...duh)
887 dV available at 150km orbit. Solid.
Longer missions will require some sort of power source.
<Korabl Sputnik 4>
Got some science data from Mun. Also, added the next (unkerballed) Korabl test! How many did they have!
Also will adjust the cash level to accommodate the overpriced Korabl missions.
