With very little time to spare on its launch window, the Eve Surveyor finally finishes its last minute checks by engineers, is rolled out to the launchpad, and launches! Much like the rest of the surveyor probes, this one will fully map the surface of Eve. The craft’s almost excessive deltaV is to allow for the exploration of Gilly as well, once the Eve mission is complete. 
Year 5, Day 193 (Rescue Mission Near Sunset Airfield!)
Uh oh! Radio monitors picked up a distress call from a plane – it looks like there was a single Kerbal onboard, but he might be injured!
“I’ll go get them!”
-Edan
Edan blasts off in one of the X-5’s parked at the Space Center!
Thankfully the pilot, Givie, is unharmed! She quickly boards Edan’s X-5!
Sadly, Givie’s aircraft is totally destroyed! She took off from the Sunset Airfield, so Edan heads there to drop her off. 
“Wow! I haven’t seen this airfield since I was a rookie! This is a pretty short runway… the landing might be… tricky!”
-Edan
It was a close one, but Edan sets the X-5 down at Sunset Airfield! Givie climbs out of the X-5 and heads back to base… looks like Givie’s going to be just fine !
Year 5, Day 177 (Moho Surveyor Orbits Moho!)
The Moho Surveyor reaches Moho! At just the correct moment, the engines fire to reach orbit! 
The 278k orbit proves ideal, and the Surveyor’s three scanners begin capturing a detailed view of the surface! Once a few orbits are complete, the craft will transition to a polar orbit. 
This major success is all the talk of Kerbin!
Year 5, Day 149 (Endeavor Lands at Shadow Valley Complex!)
Endeavor hurtles toward the Shadow Valley Complex!
A perfect landing! The small spaceplane is recovered, and work starts on readying the shuttle for its next launch… from the SVC!
Year 5, Day 137 (Pyramid Launch Complex First Test)
An Aurora Crew Rocket is ready to go at the Pyramid Launch Complex! This will be the first test of the Mk. 6 Aurora Crew Vehicle, the most advanced iteration of the design to date. Jeb and Bill will fly up to the Kerbin Space Station, dock, then return!
“So far so good – the Mk6 is performing like it should!”
-Jeb
The Crew Vehicle approaches the KSS. The Mk6 also boasts improved RCS balancing, which should make the docking much easier and involve less guesswork on piloting!
Docking is a success! The plan is to return Robart, Orlas, and Val to the surface in the Endeavor, and leave the Crew Vehicle docked to the station. The newly refurbished Shadow Valley Complex will be used to refurbish Endeavor – if all goes to plan, the Shadow Valley Complex will be the new home for the Crew Shuttle program!
Year 5, Day 135 (Resupply Mission Docks At Mun With Unity Space Station!)
The KSS Resupply Vehicle has barely enough fuel to dock with Unity Space Station, but arrives nonetheless! The automated vehicle starts transferring its stores of food and other supplies at once! This should give Unity Space Station another 2 years of life!
Mission Control gives the “Go” for further mission operations, and the trip to the Munar Canyons should be ready in just days!
Year 5, Day 133 (Pyramid Launch Complex Opens!)
KSEA is excited to announce the opening of the Pyramid Launch Complex! The facility, located north of White Mesa, will, with any luck, become the new home of the Aurora Crew Vehicle program, providing a dedicated launchpad for these versatile crew rockets.
KSEA plans to utilize several sites around Kerbin in the coming year as the Space Program continues to grow! The main VAB is planned to be used for the largest of vehicles, such as the upcoming Explorer 2 mission, and other massive rockets.
A test flight is scheduled soon!
Year 5, Day 132 (Oxygen Low on Unity Space Station!)
Oxygen is starting to run low on Unity Space Station, the research station orbiting Mun! The supply craft sent to the KSS has enough extra supplies in it to resupply the station, however scrubbers and other technology to extend life on the stations is clearly needed.
Mission Control wants to delay any landings on Mun until the Oxygen situation is resolved!
Year 5, Day 125 (Sarnus Surveyor Leaves Kerbin)
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!
