GSS 01 (Gylden Survey Satellite) has reached Saturn! This satellite will begin collecting data on the surrounding bodies and send it back to Earth to determine if anything should be sent to specific locations. (GSS 01 was created with help from France and Russia. I forgot to make the fairing textures on Russia flat though)

GSS 01 orbit was changed to get a closer pass by Rhea. Soon a mission will be conducted to land on one of the moons or do a sample return

The satellite wasn’t built to be a lander. I’ll just make a new craft

I haven’t played this in a while so I just decided to swap Gylden I’s first crew for a new one. This is the return to the surface and I forgot how I even made it so I panicked a little when I couldn’t find the parachute.

I forgot to detach the boosters when they ran out.l and found out that one of my stages is completely unnecessary as the first stage with it’s boosters can get it to orbit, so I’ll probably make a variant of the rocket that only goes to Earth LEO for stations/satellites and such. But anyways now there’s a second crew and I have to look over everything I planned to do in this and see if I’ll actually do it.

Since I’ve finished making my fuel section of the CTA: UNTO EVIL, I will start planning my next mission which will be to Rhea or Enceladus with a sample return or just a lander that can then take a sample and send data to GSS 01.

This is the design for the lander that will perform the sample return. I still have to make a section that will branch off from the bottom parachute to take a sample from the ground

Cool! Did you put the separators on steroids so they can give the upper stage a boost?

Yes, that’s what I did. I’m going to have to make the sample collector part very small which will be fun

The GSR getting back to Earth plan has been abandoned due to too many errors that didn’t occur during testing. GSR will send data to GSS 01 to send to back to Earth.

And I docked a shuttle to Gylden I

This is my newest and improved variant within my line of Avallon rockets (which take inspiration from the atlas V 500 rockets). After doing various tests I replaced the Titan on the core with 3 frontiers and a Hawk which made it more efficient and gave the plume a nice look. Redesigned the booster separation and modified the transfer stage engines (4x valiants, the transfer was not actually necessary to get the satellite in orbit but for the sake of showing what it looks like I used it). The transfer/2nd stage, named S2b, has 4551 m/s of delta v with no payload and 3616 m/s with 10 tons making it much more capable than my previous version. This rocket is called the AV-8 (Avallon eighth model).

Satellite in orbit (I’ll also probably launch a couple of these)

These are some of the previous versions with the top one (Gylden variant) being the one before the AV-8. These rockets have been mostly my main rockets that I’ve used for various things from building stations to landing my rovers on Mars. But the AV-8 will be the main rocket of the Gylden program from now on until I make a better one.

After a whole lot of nothing for almost a year…
Gylden Crew 2 has been swapped out with a third crew! What a feat (not really)!

To be in compliance with the new laws of the land… this thing called “temperature” and “heat,” I made a new rocket named the Z1 for taking payloads to space as the AV8 would spontaneously combust upon firing up the engines.

Here it is

Another happy landing,
and no casualties.

And that concludes Gylden Crew Mission 3.

Not bad dude. Yeah no heat is really only justified for art pieces, total fantasy builds, rebuilds of old regime rebuilds and actual scale replicas. And even then, it is better if it can be avoided.


Not bad looking though :) to make copies of my old shuttles from before, I also need the no heat cheat for most of them.

Thanks. Yeah, I’m going to try to refit my most recent shuttle so that I can use it again, or I could just make a new one…

Here’s my newest telescope that’s been successfully completed. Named Stargazer similarly to Stargate, which was launched nearly 2 years ago, Stargazer will observe planets within the system for study and things of interest outside of the solar system.
