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 001: A Series Rocket Finch Model 1

A-Finch 001



OOPS was given the mission to travel to at least 12.5K into the atmosphere. The decision was made to use the newly developed A series Finch Rocket.



Simple yet effective. We used two rocket parts, a solid rocket booster and stayputnick unmanned command module. Our science division also added a thermometer and transmitter to collect data to determine if Kerbals can survive up there.





It was a great success as we were able to not only determine that the air gets colder up there but we exceeded our goal and made it to 22K feet above Kerbin
