KSEA regrets to inform the public that Pathfinder 4 and Pathfinder 5 have both overshot their targets, failing to achieve orbit. It would seem speed is the problem, as those probes were simply traveling too fast to be slowed down by single NERV engine – the future of the Pathfinder program however remains in doubt.
Of even greater concern is Explorer 5, already en route to Duna, built on the Pathfinder frame! Scientists think that Explorer’s much lower transfer speed will allow the craft to slow down in time – but time will tell.
The Aurora Payload Vehicle separates from Kerbin Spaceport, carrying with it the kuarq experiment payloads!
The Frontier 3 probe launched to Neidon 6 years ago has stopped transmitting. KSEA engineers and scientists think that the crafts solar arrays just weren’t sufficient for transmitting that far out. Just a few weeks ago Frontier 3 was still transmitting at near full strength thanks to the Deep Space Network KSEA has been building, however.
Malcolm arrives at Mun!
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.
Intrepid blasts off, taking up to the KSS, with a cargo bay full of ladders!
Edan lines up a perfect landing…
… and sets down! Edan is developing a reputation for being a no-nonsense pilot that can handle pretty much anything that comes his way!
Enterprise launches! Edan will pilot the Heavy Cargo Shuttle to orbit and rendezvous with the Kerbin Space Station, and Dunwin will supervise the initial installation of the solar power unit, and then perform EVAs to complete installation from Enterprise’s cargo bay! 
The upgraded Resolute takes off! Val pilots rookie engineer Seely and Gillian up to orbit! This will be Resolute’s first flight using the upgraded Launcher, and with the new Cargo Bay arrangement!
The module goes into place, and Unity Space Station is ready to go!
Uh oh. There’s a small problem! Looks like the Habitat Module wasn’t equipped with a communications device. What a disaster! But… there might be hope.
KSEA decides to green light the mission – in fact, this will allow testing of a new cargo module for the Crew Shuttle program! The small module will allow a small cargo payload to be carried behind the shuttle, and once emptied will still allow crew to move through the module! It should also solve the problem of where to put solar panels on the crew shuttles. Endeavor is rolled out, and has some antennas put on it that can easily be detached in orbit. No one’s ever tried something quite like this! Rookie engineer Gillian says she’s practiced just this kind of thing underwater, and assures it can’t be that much more difficult in orbit!
