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 launch goes well – with the OAV carrying the shuttle to its desired orbit, leaving over 1000 d/v in fuel for orbital maneuvering.
“That’s sure was a bumpy ride!”
-Seely
Val pilots Resolte to a close rendezvous with Unity Station!
Ok – we’re there.. but we better wait until we’re on the ‘day’ side of Kerbin before doing the install!
-Gilian
Seeley heads out, and practices some basic space maneuvers! 
The module goes into place, and Unity Space Station is ready to go!
“Resolute’s coming in pretty hot! I’m going to need to circle around before I can land!”
-Val
Val sets down, but takes out one of the landing lights at the end of the runway! Endeavor takes some minor damage, losing a few of its air brakes! Everyone agrees this was the most dangerous landing the Heavy Cargo Shuttles have ever done. High speed, and performing the maneuver node too early is the general consensus.
“Maybe we can find a way to slow the shuttle more on reentry – that was scary!”
-Seeley
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!
Aurora 14 returns to Kerbin! 
Aurora 14 leaves Kerbin’s sphere of gravitational influence!
Aurora 11 blasts off – carrying Val, Glenica, and Kimmy to orbit! This will be both Glenica and Kimmy’s first trip to Mun! 
The X5 takes off, heading west to the mountains to investigate the anomaly that satellites detected… the previous attempt to explore this region ended in disaster, when the X4 crashed! 
Val pilots the X-5 past the X-4 crash site, attempting to approach from a different direction!
Aurora 8 returns home! 
Val pilots Aurora 7 closer to Minmus, then transfers over to the lander with Bob! 
The lander detaches, and Val pilots the lander to a good landing site.
