Urlum Surveyor’s trip will be just 3 years… arriving in late Year 8!

Year 5, Day 106 (Neidon Surveyor Leaves Kerbin!)
The Neidon Surveyor blasts away, heading to the far, far world of Neidon!
The trip will be a long one… arriving in Year 31… 25 years from now!
Year 5, Day 101 (Sarnus Surveyor)
The Sarnus Surveyor is the next probe to launch – this time a night launch! The window to Sarnus is in 34 days – the craft will stay in a parking orbit until then!
It’s thought that the Sarnus Surveyor will have enough fuel to explore much of the Sarnus system… however a specific target hasn’t been decided, a maneuver en route will adjust the approach once KSEA decides where to send the probe!
Year 5, Day 99 (Urlum Surveyor Launches!)
Urlum Surveyor blasts off! The launch window for Urlum is quite close, 26 days away. It will be a busy week for the Space Program – the Urlum Surveyor, Neidon Surveyor, and the Duna Surveyor are all scheduled for important maneuvers this week! Urlum and Neidon Surveyors will be blasting off to intercept their target worlds, while Duna Surveyor will perform a critical manuever to adjust its approach angle!
Year 5, Day 97 (Neidon Surveyor Launches!)
The Neidon Surveyor blasts off onboard the enormous Sarnus-X Rocket! The enormous cost of the Surveyor Program has taken its toll on KSEA’s finances, however the success of the mapping of Mun and Minmus has proven that surveying planets before visiting them is beneficial.
Surveyors bound for Urlum and Sarnus are due to be launched soon!
Year 5, Day 92 (New Surveyor Probes Commissioned!)
KSEA commissions the development of several new Surveyor class deep space probes – Neidon Surveyor, Urlum Surveyor, Sarnus Surveyor, and the Jool Surveyor. Like Duna Surveyor, these deep space probes are designed to map the surface of deep space bodies to allow a more scientific approach to exploring space!
Year 5, Day 84 (Intrepid Brings Jeb, Chrisnic, and Dunwin Home!)
Jeb, Dunwin, and Chrisnic head back to the surface onboard Intrepid! Chrisnic and Dunwin are both are exhausted from their extensive EVAs installing the new solar and power systems on the station!
Intrepid touches down, and the crew gets some well needed rest!
Year 5, Day 83 (Moho Surveyor Launches!)
The Moho Surveyor launches… with just barely enough time to spare, the launch window is only hours away!
Moho Surveyor will arrive at Moho in (hopefully) in 94 days! KSEA has high hopes that the probe will be able to orbit the distant hot world of Moho!
So far the new class of probes has performed well, so identical probes are constructed for Neidon and Urlum. A more complicated mission to Sarnus is coming in the near future, which may also utilize the new probe design!
Year 5, Day 72 (Edan and Glenica Return from Minmus!)
Edan and Glenica return from Minmus aboard Aurora 17, bringing a close to another successful mission in the Aurora Program!
Year 5, Day 66 (Moho Surveyor Announced!)
Construction starts on a new probe, Moho Surveyor. This probe will be launched into an orbit of Moho, and hopefully begin mapping the surface!
The Moho Surveyor is essentially the same design as the Duna Surveyor, only launched atop the Sarnus-X rocket, in an effort to give the spacecraft the best chance to arrive at Moho with a signifigant amount of Delta V that will be required to enter orbit!
