KSP HSS x 4 - 3 First satellite (w/ kOS)
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
KSP Harder Solar System x 4 Extreme difficulty career. After launching several successful suborbital missions our agency is about to achieve its next major milestone. Our engineers will attempt to put a small satellite into orbit. A new modified vehicle was designed. A Genesis - A 2nd stage was put on a brand new Genesis - C double-barrelled 1st core block. The kOS block is on the second stage and it controls the ascent guidance beyond the communication range. The eggheads are mumbling something about DeltaV and aerodynamic instability, but who cares! Fire in the hole!

A Genesis - B vehicle was a failed attempt to reach the desert region of Kerbin, though the mission was failed, the technology was used to improve our current "Genesis" launch vehicle family to make it orbital-capable.
