I'm honestly sorry, but no. Well, it looks like the Voyager Quest wasn't as easy as you thought, eh? ;)

Im stuck thinking what to do shall I do voyager or mars?
Can any mod like Blazer help me out?

You are free to try them in the order you want. Order isn't really inportant. If you think Mars is easier you can start by Mars, and then save the VQ for later, it is perfectly fine.

I think he probably believes the Oberth Effect is gonna save him fuel, however, that's not the case, because only to escape Jupiter's gravity well would be more expensive than escaping the solar system from LEO.

Not to mention that a 225 tons rocket with a 25 tons payload will never reach orbit on Jupiter. And not to mention that the rules explicitely forbid that kind of planet editing.

My Mars rocket has successfully passed all its tests. It went through tests like heavy impact while landing. Parachute tests and engine test.
A probe was also landed on martian surface. It will be now used to detect best landing locations on mars.
The engines were able to carry a weight of 20 ton alone. Hope my payload be lightest. The lander will not be used for going to mars instead it will be used only for comeback.

Next update will be tonight. For now bye!!!


Now
It's
Time
To
Launch
It!!!

—Attempt only after you’ve completed Team Titan—

Overview:
Team Frontier is the second set of challenges. It proves the player has some competent skills in SFS, and is at least capable to dock, plan basic interplanetary missions and build an efficient rocket. All THREE missions must be completed to get the rank.

What it unlocks?

[Will be filled soon!]
And of course, after that you are free to try Team Hawk missions.

Missions (they can be completed in any order, but all three of them must be completed):
  1. Land on Mars and get back to Earth: Just like the Moon mission before
  2. Build a space station around Earth: must be at least four separated launches, all rendezvous in LEO and docked together. You must document all 4 missions so the challenge counts as valid.
  3. Launch the supplied probe and reach solar escape velocity. No gravity assists, nor Ion engines. Starting position is the launchpad. The launch vehicle is limited to a total mass of 250 tons.
General Rules:
  • Cheats are forbidden.
  • Nothing (except obviously dumped stages) must be destroyed.
  • Bp editing part clipping is fine. Engine stretching is ONLY allowed on the replica challenge, but not for the rest of the missions. And if you do stretch some engines, you must add the necessary ballast to compensate the advantage.
  • Default Solar System must be used, although purely cosmetical planet packs will be accepted too. As an exception, IRIS by Altaïr will be allowed on the Mars and space station missions only.
For the specific case of Voyager Quest challenge these constraints also apply:
  • Use only the supplied probe, or your recreation of it, no custom payload.
  • The mass of the launch vehicle for the entire mission is 250 tons. Meaning that the vehicle you spawn on the launchpad cannot be heavier than 250 tons (payload included).
  • Gravity assists are not allowed, just direct burns.
  • Ion engines are absolutely forbidden. Just chemical engines.

Mission Rewards:

Each mission grants its own badge:
Once you have all three of them, you get the official Team Frontier badge, which proves you’ve completed all three Frontier challenges: View attachment 61126

How do I prove that I did the missions?

Any format is fine (screenshots, videos, other), but whatever you submit must show at least these key points:

Mars mission:
  • Launchpad
  • Earth orbit
  • Mars orbit
  • Mars surface
  • Back to Earth
  • Achievements
Space Station (for all four flights):
  • Launchpad
  • Earth orbit
  • Rendezvous with the station
Voyager Quest:
  • Building grid (so we can see the total mass)
  • Launchpad
  • Earth orbit
  • Map view when crossing the orbit of Mars. (This one is absolutely essential). Target speed is 7250 m/s.

A more detailed guide about Team Frontier in general and its missions can be found here:
Team Frontier Instructions!
For any questions feel free to ask them here: New Ranks! or here: Team Frontier Instructions! or in the thread below.

It looks correct. Perhaps flip the wheel so it's attached to the strut, not the interstage. That way accidents are prevented if you click that interstage.
Also make sure the bottom interstage has the eject side pointing down.

Those are 3 posts in a row, was that necessary? You could have posted all this in a single post. Especially now that you have Team Titan, you can edit your posts instead of making a new one.

We try to keep this thread clean, as it's there for everybody, please be careful to this in the future.
