Edbert, Edan, Rozer, and Samner blast off from KSC – launching both Crew Vehicle 1 and a Lander that (should) be rated for Tekto!

“Hold on everyone – the Nebula Heavy has a real kick!”

-Edan

At a 200k altitude, the Crew Vehicle and the Lander separate, and the bottom boosters turn around and burn to get as close as possible to KSC.

“Separation good… firing orbital stage for rendevous…”

-Edbert

Edbert rendezvouses the Crew Vehicle with Explorer, bring the craft within 50 meters!

“Got us lined up… moving in for final docking maneuver!”

-Edbert

Success! Edbert docks with Explore! Next – the lander is remotely navigated into the docking bay – but first, the new crew (Edan, Rozer, and Samner) transfer over to Explorer – and Edbert detaches, and returns to Kerbin!

After a few minutes, the lander breaks through the clouds…

… and lands just outside of the Space Center!

Back in orbit, the lander is remotely piloted into the cargo bay!

“Mission Control… we show a good connection – let’s get this ship started up!”

-Edan
