This opens up the next tier of technologies and I immediately spend 550 science on Advanced Science Tech which unlocks some of the best experiments as well as the ScanSat high resolution imager.
#KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM MKS UPGRADE#
There’s 1.85M funds in the bank now and I decide to bite the bullet and upgrade the R&D Building. Either way, it’s going to take me time to decide and I can’t really do anything else right now so it’s back to mission control. I really don’t think it has enough fuel, but maybe it can be retasked to do a flyby of Jool. This gets a total of 158 science and 88k funds, but I’m really not convinced that Tesla III is going to be able to complete its desired mission. Now that Tesla III has left the Kerbin SOI it’s time to collect the RPWS and Magentometer science to complete the contract sections for science high around the sun. Just to complete that satellite contract we missed last time I build a new Occulus I and launch it into the desired orbit, it’s neither hard, nor time consuming, but it does net another 160k funds and 24 science.

Then the final things are to de-orbit the remaining Odin II boosters and tidy up any debris that has landed on Kerbin. I just abort these from the tracking centre – obviously someone fitted some explosives inside for just this reason! After that I get rid of Vanguard II and the entire Occulus satellite range, they have served us well but now they have reached the end of their operational tours. Next up it’s the Vanguard I and I-A probes. The debris flies several hundred kilometers Sub orbital trajectories can only end one way They are going about 800m/s on impact and the debris has quite the bounce after impact! To start with it’s time to get rid of the two empty fuel shots that are whizzing around above the Mun’s surface, they have plenty of mono-propellant left so a short retrograde burn sends them into the surface. I refer specifically to making sure Atlas I and Tesla III are okay and doing what they are supposed to do. We’ve also got a couple of contracts to complete and some spacecraft to maintain. All of these are then presented in the list of craft when I’m looking for things in the Tracking Station. The thing that is getting annoying is that all our old landers and satellites, that are of no more use, are floating around or sitting on the Mun or in other ridiculous places.

I’m not worried too much about crashing into the massive amount of debris and I feel I should leave that there as a punishment for not being too bothered about debris in the early stages of exploration. With the first days of spring under our belt, I think it’s time to clear our skies a bit.
