I´ll post here the updates of my Jupiter Mission or also called Swingin' on a Star.
I´ll do a orbital assembly of the complete spacecraft that ill orbit the king of the solar system and then land on one of the moons and return safely to the Earth, the complete spacecraft I´ll be launched in 3 parts to Low Earth Orbit and to reach Jupiter orbit I´ll use VEEGA (Venus-Earth-Earth Gravitational Assist) and other gravitational assists of the moons of Jupiter.
Here is the first part of the spacecraft, I´ll use the engine of the second stage to do the VEEGA and reach Jupiter orbit, the launch craft is a bit to powerfull so I was able to reach LEO with the 1º stage and the solid boosters:
Launchpad:
Boosters separation and fairings deployment (here you can see that I am still able to reach LEO with the first stage, allowing me to only do some orbit corrections with the second stage):
Main engine Cutoff and LEO (Low Earth Orbit):
Second stage separation:
Orbit corrections:
