The Explorer 1 probe reaches Eve! Mission Control has some spotty communications issues at first, but a slight readjustment of the Kerbin LongSat allows uninterrupted communications. 
At a 100k orbit, the probe is instructed to ciruclarize orbit – success! Onboard equipment begins testing – initial readings indicate that Eve is big, and quite purple!
