The first Sarnus Surveyor leaves for Sarnus! Once the probe reaches the Sarnus system, scans will be done to determine which moon is the most promising. Future probes will certainly follow!

Year 5, Day 114 (X-502 Development)
KSEA begins work on modifications to the X-5 design, with the goal of creating an planetary crew vehicle capable of moving not just the operating crew of the X-5, but also 5 passengers as well. The current fleet of X-5’s is only capable of 2 crew, which has hampered logistics moving Kerbals around the world! Testing of the new vehicle is being carried out at the White Mesa complex!
Year 5, Day 113 (KSS Life Support Mission)
Supplies on the Space Station are running a little low, so an automated supply vehicle is launched to take care of provisions!
Success! Life support supplies are transfered over, giving the station several more years worth of goods.
Year 5, Day 108 (Urlum Surveyor Leaves Kerbin!)
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!
