Missions:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Crew 1: Tiruin, Taikonaut 7, a scotonaut.
Crew 2: Taikonauts 6 and 8, a scotonaut.
Crew 3: Taikonauts Tiruin, Taikonauts 7 and 9.

My launch 1, Crew 2, Explorer II (2) without docking system, crew swapping and research supply mission. Max payload: 634kg
Research supplies: 269kg (Space Health Studies) ($??)
Supplies: 165kg ($165)
Launch and reentry go well, however during the actual crew swap, which due to the fact that there were no docking systems, had to be done spacey walkey, the scotonaut managed to get a slight puncture in a spacesuit. He reached the airlock in time, but was injured.

Toaster launch 1, Explorer II (1) without docking system, delivery in Mao Kongjianzhan's vicinity. Max payload: 1185kg
3m station hull piece with 4 docking systems: 1160kg ($1900 + $200 clerical error from last round)
Supplies: 25kg ($25)
Station crew will use their shuttle to attach the new piece.
The shuttle burned up completly during reentry. It was an automated flight, so no-one died. Later camera analysys indicated that a bird collided with the shuttle shortly after take-off, damaging the heat shield and leading to it's inevitable demise. You where however quick on the ball and managed to salvage the situation and reestablish trust in the rocket system.

There was some hassle with this mission, especially because they were one crewmember short, but the stationpiece was safely attached.

My launch 2, Crew 3, Explorer II (3) without docking system, resupply mission to Mao Kongjianzhan's vicinity. Max payload: 1185kg.
Supplies: 1185kg ($1185)
Mission succesfull, no problems

My launch 3, Crew 3, Explorer II (3) without docking system, resupply mission to Mao Kongjianzhan's vicinity. Max payload: 1185kg.
Supplies: 1185kg ($1185)
Mission succesfull, no problems

My launch 4, Crew 1, Explorer II (3) with docking system, crew swapping and resupply mission to Mao Kongjianzhan. Max payload: 634kg.
Time: 7.5 months into the year.
Supplies: 600kg ($600)
Mission succesfull.

Toaster launch 2, Explorer II (1) without docking system, mission repeat or delivery in Mao Kongjianzhan's vicinity. Max payload: 1185kg
Repeat a previous mission if it failed.
Otherwise:
11 solar cells: 1100kg ($2750 + $550 S&H)
Supplies: 85kg ($85kg)
The allocated shuttle was unavailable. Mostly because of the fact that the parts that had been found had been stored in plastic bags in a laboratory in scotland.


Total payload:
3m station hull piece with four docking systems
269kg research materials
3160kg supplies

Taikonauts:
Tiruin and Taikonauts 6, 7, and 8 will not be training to improve their skills between station stays.
If Taikonauts die in the line of duty, give $1000 to their families.
In the unlikely event that a crew swapping mission fails, the station crew will receive a bonus for staying out the year.

Other:
Aerospace department investment (year 3 of 5) ($1000) (preferred specialty: quantum mechanics, theory and applications)
Use PR on my first launch of the year.

Total expenses: $(14,645 + research supplies(1345))

Research
-Dr Faust stabilises the Vasimirs more.Progress here is slow, but the VASimirs are now optimized.
-Dr Fuerza lightens the Solar PanelsWork here doesn't go very fast
-Floor three commercialises the Solar Panels.No progress is made here


Construction
Build 1 Relampago and 1 Mano de Ayuda


Missions
Launch the Relampago with the Mano do Ayuda, as far as it will go.
The Rempalogo is succesfully brought into orbit. However none of the Mano Do Ayuda's are recoverable.

Other
Send another advert to all the universities, looking for scientists. (3000+PR) No results. Btw, Pr isn't useable for everything.

Expenditure
7900  (1k Vasimirs, 1k Solar Panels, 1k commercialization 1900 rockets, 3k university)
DWARF

Research:
[Electronics Expert] Continue theoretical work on unmanned rovers.  (1k) Work here goes fast

[Thruster Expert]  Work on ionic thrusters. (1k)Work here progresses. However, The gm is too lazy to look up what they are, and how to implement them in game mechanics

[Fuel Expert]  Increase the thrust (or if that's maxed, safety) of Solid Fuel. (2k) Work here progresses.

Increase the max height of the Space Shuttle hull.  (2k)Work here doesn't progresses. A maquette flies through the lab and explodes in a freak incident(Damege: 2000)

Increase the max height of booster rockets!Work here progresses (1k)

Designs:

Nope, no design.

Building:

None today.

Other:

See Nirur's turn.  My launch schedule is in that.
Please state which scotonauts Nirur has to use. Easier for me when I have to do skill rolls, or to see who died.

Expenses: 7k research


Kingfisher: ASC monthly report

Turn:

Research:
Mass drivers.  2KResearch here progresses fast (100, grats). You can now upgrade the launcher(10.000) to limit launch weight by 40%. You can also upgrade (5000) it's weight capacity
VASIMIR engines. Work progresses. 1KWork here doesn't prgress
Superconductors. Work here progresses. 1KSlow progress

Launch: Ye olde creeper 1 to get some prestige, not much really.Launch succesfull. +2 prestige

Other: Announce the intention to have a mass driver launch by 1970. The anouncement goes unnoticed. In fact, you might even say it goes bad as many nations are fearing the military uses of this device. Your mass driver pr stunt was ridiculed by various governements. (Feel free to try the promise again though.)

Unfortunate. Except for my mad scientist installing a sentient AI in a remote controlled drone. He deserves a raise.

Er ... Me stating that shuttle for my first launch didn't have a docking system was a typo from reusing the mission orders. That shuttle had a docking system, and I never uninstalled it.

Spoiler: Math (click to show/hide)

I stated that the max payload for the mission was 634kg, and didn't include space suits on the shuttle.
Shuttle weight: 10,916kg (Your stats show the engine as 15kg heavier than it is.)
Shuttle thrust: 13,750

The entire shuttle needs 1.1x thrust to dock with the station.
13,750/1.1 = 12,500
Excess thrust: 1584.
Crew of three plus docking system weighs  225kg + 90kg
Remaining thrust for payload is 1269.
Divide by two for tape.

A quick question 10ebbor10: what level of nuclear technology do I need for a lightweight reactor that I can launch into space? Also, here is my turn (though I think I should have $5293 rather than $15293):

Research:
Dr Smith will continue researching nuclear technology (free)
Lab 1 with the help of Robert Caldwell will increase the power of the kerosene fuel further (-$1000)
Lab 2 with the help of the electronics scientist will improve the communications abilities of the solar powered comms sat (-$1000)
Lab 3 will increase the success chance of the 3 person capsule. If the maximum success chance is reached increase the capacity. (-$1000)
Lab 4 will investigate robotic space rovers (-$1000)
Research cost: $4000

Design:
None this year.

Construction:
Upgrade my labs to give a +15 bonus to research (-$15000 I believe)
Construction cost: $15000

Production:
2 LTSEA satellites (-$3000)
Production cost: $3000

Launch:
Launch the 2 LTSEA satellites into a stable LEO with the Hyperion. Have one of them act as a weather satellite (try to get $1650 from the US government for this) and the other study solar flares.

Other:
Aerospace Department (year 2 of 5): -$1000
I vote that the world gets Nanotechnology and light hull alloy (I don't have any strong preferences for the third technology if that's alright) and computer miniturisation.
Attempt to sell bandwidth on the comms satellite already launched to various communications companies, and see if they are interested in having any more satellites launched.
Other cost: $1000

Total cost: $23000

I think it was mentioned a while back that we could use old tech to get a boost to similar new tech. How efficient would the transfer be from 3m thrusters with safety and fuel efficiency maxed to a new 3m thruster?

[10ebbor10]

I think it was mentioned a while back that we could use old tech to get a boost to similar new tech. How efficient would the transfer be from 3m thrusters with safety and fuel efficiency maxed to a new 3m thruster?

Depends on what sort of 3m thruster you want. A new system of thruster(Ie, normal to altitude compensation,...) would have no effect, but a thruster designed to be slightly less safe, much lighter, Use more fuel ,... (Ie where you are giving up one stat to gain bonus on another) could be done quite quickly.

[Nirur Torir]

I'd want heavier, less safe (10% or 15%), 8000 fuel use, and as much fuel efficiency as possible.

[10ebbor10]

I'd want heavier, less safe (10% or 15%), 8000 fuel use, and as much fuel efficiency as possible.

That would work . With a luckly roll they'd be ready in one turn. Just put a note next to it so I don't forget you're modifying it.
