here is part 2: the f* up fairy!
it all started well, a quick check and we reported all system nominal to the space center:
while burning we sent the report back, to avoid draining the battery. the burn lasted a bit longer than expected and dipped a bit into the lander stage fuel, but not to much.
a complex maneuver was set up after noticing the big mun in the way to the little minmus:
and we tuned halfway to get a direct injection to the surface:
yes I am using conic patch mode 0
here we are on the
crashintercept course: not so small now that we're near!
still, it was a careless insertion: this doesn't look like a good landing spot
not at all:
and predictably:
but there is science to be done! we will deal with that later, first let's mark this historical moment:
I slowly accelerated and drifted, gear closed, toward the top of the slope. no good screenshot here, too busy not exploding.
on a bump one goo canister got busted, and that gave us the necessary torque to lift the nose off.
I started spinning madly, but hill were still close. so I turned the engine on and off when pointing upward and downward as I tumbled around, slowly gaining stability and vertical speed.
that sent me on a bad return trajectory, but high enough for the remaining few fuel to get me back
that mun is always in my path, never happens when I need it:
didn't had the fuel to get into a sensible reentry trajectory, so I wen't down red hot:
the cute managed to survive burning down...
and much science had been had:
because of all the trouble with power and science, we unlocked the science technology!
that will provide us with more science. and batteries.
here is the save
