Experimental Quantum Technology Craft Trials

Experimental quantum technology craft undergoing trials at Space Academy.

Using a modified KG-800 chassis to test applications of quantum strut technology has proved promising. However, quantum struts are not compatible with cubic octagonal struts and will cause catastrophic failure. New "brace" technology was tested. Initial test returned positive results. Use of the technology as structural bracing will remain in "experimental phase" pending further testing. Use of Quantum struts relegated to securing cargo

Arrestor Stage Testing: Success!

During testing of experimental "Arrestor Stage" technology on the F1 Pea Cock. Jedediah missed the runway at KSC and lands on the VAB helipad. Reports are he was quadruple dog dared.

Good news! The Arrestor Stage seems to be a rousing success!

Add-on Try Outs!

KSP is a great game by its self. How ever there is room for add-ons. Before we can begin our mission we need to decide which mods we are going to use. Unfortunately many add-ons are still in beta. So we are going to have try outs!

Mechjeb2: Pass:Mechjeb is our friend. We are going to use Mechjeb every chance we get

Enhanced NAV ball: Pass: An add-on that needed to be made, very useful

Procedural Fairings: Pass: Integral parts in many ship designs used at the Space Academy

Deadly Reentry: Pass: Burning up in reentry. They worry about that in the movies right? Good so will we

Crew manifest: Pass: Everything you ever wanted to do with your crew and more

Haystack: Pass: Very Usefull

Tac Fuel Balancer: Pass: Deemed useful

Chatterer: Pass: HA!-larious 

KAS: Pass: You gotta have KAS

Kethane: Pass: Mining for fuel on distant planets? Yes Please!

Alarm clock: Pass: Can't be late

Remote Tech2: Pass: The President is always aware of line of site

Lazor System: Pass: Loaded with useful features and Fire the freaking Lazor!

Scan Sat: Pass: A reason to put up satellite

Quantum Struts: Trial: Integral parts in many ship designs used at the Space Academy. Needs to be updated. Currently causing ships to blow up

Protractor: Trial: Maybe be unnecessary because of mecjeb and lazor functions

Biofuel: Trial: Needs to be updated 

ION Cross Life Support: Trial: Needs to be updated
