Urlum Surveyor’s trip will be just 3 years… arriving in late Year 8!
Surveyor Program
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!
