The last stage of the Jool II rocket fires, starting the probe on its course to the sun!
The Atomic Rocket Motor on Kerbol Two engages finalizing the probe’s path the Kerbol! Kerbol Two will reach the sun in just 77 days!
Let’s see how close we can get this time!

The mighty Jool II Rocket blasts off, carrying the Kerbol 2 Two Solar Probe into orbit!
KSEA and KOAA both worked on the Solar Research Probe, which should allow unparalleled looks at Kerbin’s sun, Kerbol!
KSEA also hopes that the Atomic Rocket Motor-based design and an all new Probe layout will provide the blueprint for future missions! 
Kerbol 2’s second stage fires, which will take the craft out of Kerbin’s sphere of gravity into Solar orbit! 
The protective fairings eject!
In 15 days the craft will maneuver for Kerbol itself! The solar arrays and communications dish fully deploy.
Kerbol 1 gets as close to Kerbol as its orbit will allow, 470,215,320m!
The probe transmits what will be the last of its findings and whips around the sun!
Kerbol 1 starts transmitting its first data from space near the sun at about 999,000km! The spacecraft appears to be keeping its cool, and so far everything is going well!
Kerbol 1 gets closer and closer to the sun, and onboard systems are starting to really heat up! The main and secondary radiators are keeping the craft cool for now!
Kerbol 1 is just days away from its encounter with Kerbol – scientists at KSEA are eager to see what new insights the probe might provide!
Kerbol One fires its engines to maneuver for its approach to the sun!
While the fate of the Kerbol 1 probe is almost certain, the exact time communications will be lost, and at what proximity to the star is unknown. KSEA hopes that a lot of interesting science can be transmitted before the probe is lost!
The final boost stage is ejected, and the probe hurdles toward the sun! In roughly 90 days we should know if the probe is successful!
