The most far-flung mission ever attempted is ready to launch – the Far Horizons mission to Plock! While there is some debate about whether or not Plock is actually a planet or maybe an asteroid, most Kerbals do agree that it is quite interesting regardless!

The powerful Nova Rocket carries the probe off the launch pad!

“Wow -look at it go!”
–Edan, watching from Mission Control

The Nova Rocket’s first stage detaches, falling toward Kerbin…

… while the second stage lifts the probe to a very high orbit of 900k!

The protective fairing ejects right before the orbital circularization manuever begins!
“Looks like a good launch people! Now let’s start systems checks… make sure we’re ready for Plock!”
–Gene, at Mission Control
Mission Control will spend the next week testing subsystems and ensuring that Far Horizons is ready for it’s trip! Departure is expected by the end of the year!

When is the next one

I sure hope so! I’m excited to see what secrets Plock holds and to possible see some pictures of the surface!

Hi! I’ll keep playing this for a long time most likely, but updates will sometimes be few and far between 😛 Thanks for reading and your patience!

Hi – I don’t share the actual *files* but if you look at my “Mods” section on this site, I do try to list all the mods I use. FYI, I run a out of date install, so getting your game to look “just” like mine would be tricky. Thanks for reading!

As I’m getting my Kerbal States game save built, I’m having to basically “cheat” stuff into orbit to cleanly re-create my save state in the previous version. In some cases I’m testing the rockets as well, and this spacecraft is one of those !
I thought the new images were pretty cool, so this particular day has been “remastered” – I also took the opportunity to retconmy design for the Far Horizons mission… I was never happy with the antenna set up on the old mission, and this new one is much, much better looking (also more realistic.)
Also cleaned up this post, with the new colorful quote template I’ll be using.
