The crew of DSV-5 Intrepid wake up from their Cryo Sleep! As everyone starts to warm up, Mission Commander Sondo takes stock of the situation!

DSV 5 Intrepid – CM1 – Mission Summary
- Crew: Mission Commander Carson, Mission Scientist Bob, Mission Engineer, Sondo .
- Mission: First mission of DSV Intrepid! Crewed mission to Moho to perform landing using new DSV-Lander/Rover combo.

“Alright – systems coming online! Trajectory is good, we’re heading toward a 200k flyby of Kerbin!. “
-Carson

“Science is stowed and ready – looks like no data loss either! Any chance we could turn the heat up too?
-Bob

“Reactor is spinning up to full power – you should have full propulsion in just a minute! The radiators are functioning too – by the time we’re docked with Kerbin Spacedock we should be nice and toasty too!
-Sondo

“Ok – firing engine, propulsion at full! Reactor is showing full power!”
-Carson
As the powerful Colossus engine fires Intrepid slowly begins to close it’s trajectory, working to close its trajectory until orbit is achieved!

“My calculations show we have a good orbit – nice!“
-Bob

The RCS thrusters maneuver the ship aligning upright, and the engines fire again, briefly!
“Commencing rendezvous maneuvers! This should put us on a direct intercept with Spacedock!“
-Carson

As Intrepid drifts around Kerbin it moves closer and closer toward Spacedock until…

“Spacedock to Intrepid – this is Mirphe! We have visual, repeat we have Visual! Intrepid is looking good! We have some space snacks heating up for you!
-Mirphe, on board Kerbin Spacedock!

“Slowing approach… now at 5 meters a second…“
-Carson

As the massive Deep Space Vehicle slows its approach, Spacedock crews work to prepare the DSV docking ring! This will be the first time Spacedock 2 has had more than one DSV docked, and everyone is careful to follow safety procedures exactly after the disaster at the first Spacedock!
How much Delta V was left after the return?

I’ve always been interested in what that safe door looking thing is at the front of the docking bay and the Wharf Station core?

Hi! Thanks for reading! There are two parts there:
SDV-6 Flat Adapter and PPD-PXL Adapter.
Pretty sure both are from Stock Alike Station Parts!
