Luly and Edan head down to USSLS01-A – the Highlands, on the first adventure of the Unity Space Station science team!

Edan and Luly touch down successfully in the Highlands, near the Southwest Crater! Kimmy performs the required science experiments for the mission, Edan spends most of the time jumping around! 
The lander does a quick jump over to the Southwest Crater itself!

Another great landing!
“This second landing really pushed our fuel resererves – I think for future landings, we should keep it limited to just one site – especially for landings so far from the Mun’s equator!”
-Edan
The Unity Lander takes off, to dock with the Space Station, then docks! Edan transfers the science gathered back to the Aurora 16 Command Module, while Luly takes some time to rest before the next landing!

The first landing is a great success! The distance from the equator really put fuel reserves to the test.. the lander returned with barely enough fuel… not as safe as KSEA likes! Still, a great adventure for Luly and Edan!
Aurora 16 blasts off, taking Edan, Dunwin, and Kerlorf on their way to Mun (and with them, the new Lander that Unity Space Station will need!)




It’s time for Explorer’s brave crew to return home! Onboard Explorer, Orlas, Mitster, and Chrisnic gather up all their things (including the invaluable science data gathered from Eve and Gilly) and head to the LARC!
The LARC detaches… and everyone watches silently as the ship that had been their home for almost a year drifts away… Explorer will ride Kerbin’s gravity and slingshot into deep space (taking its radioactive engines far away from Kerbin…) while the LARC should touch down somewhere on Kerbin!
Things are getting hot as the LARC capsule reenter’s Kerbin’s orbit! 


The Aurora Crew Vehicle sent to Minmus returns home! Inside the capsule, Val, Robart, and Samner hold on tight!

…and docking goes surprisingly uneventfully!
Samner and Robart prepare to head home… (Robart takes the long way, enjoying an EVA before heading home) while Gilian and Kimmy prepare for the next Harmony Space Station landing! Scientists are still figuring out the best location for HSSLS02!
Samner, Val, and Robart head home!
Unity Space Station is sitting in a 100k orbit. The shuttle is capable of reaching orbits up to 120k, however tolerances for errors and safety start getting pushed above 100k.
Adventure docks at Unity Space Station!
Luly and Seely head over… but Seely takes the scenic route and installs the new Gravity Sensors on the station! Edan takes a second to correct the orientation of one of the Station’s Habitat Modules…
Unity Station begins its transfer to Mun!
This time the launch goes much better than Harmony Station’s… keeping the insertion stage’s engine’s gimbals set lower appears to solve the problem (that and the station has been designed to be symmetrical!) Adventure will remain in orbit until KSEA signals that the Station is safely away!
Unity Station arrives at Mun!It’s just a short 5 hours trip to Mun!
With just a little work, the station is put into a 31k orbit,. Now all the crew needs is a lander, and science can begin! (The Transfer stage still has a little precious fuel in it, so it will remain until the lander arrives!)
