It Has Begun

In Kerbal Space Program (KSP) there is a wonderful modification (mod) called Better Than Starting Manned (BTSM). The author of this mod is named FlowerChild or FC for short. FC has created a challenging aspect to KSP. Not only do you do space missions, but with BTSM you have to think about what your next goal is and plan accordingly. When you add in KSP carreer mode, you need to do missions for Funds (the name of kerbal money in game) otherwise your space program will go broke, BTSM adds a level to the game that is just down right fun. For example do you research decouplers or another tank and rocket. Both can get you into an orbit but one will be cheaper for you or will allow you to do a few more missions for the Funds and science.

Now that I have learn most of how it all works. Orbital Object Propulsion Systems will be tracking how it gets things done.

(please note I will try to update at least once a week on Sunday, however some weeks I will not be able to post a mission or four because of my schedule)

Mission 005: B Series Rocket Tanager Model 1 Experimental

With the first manned mission under our belt it was time to get some needed funds and do some testing of a new part. So we dusted off an Tanager 1 and created Tanager 1 X




There were three mission to do collect atmosphere data, test a modular girder adapter as well as test the rocket engine in space.  The hardest test to compete was the testing of the engine that required we shut off the engine mid flight and re-add it to the staging. Other than that is was a very routine flight. All test were complete by the time Tanager 1 X reached 82 km.



Since OOPS is still working on re-entering the atmosphere without exploding, the mission ended as all of our mission into space have ended.


BANG!!! Well we made funds so we can continue our research and exploration.
