Hello,

I'll judge the station. It looks like it has everything needed:
  • Solar panels
  • Habitation module
  • Propulsion module
  • Docking bay
  • Escape pods
However could you please post a blueprint of each of the rocket you sent and its cargo? The station must be built with 4 launches at least...

hello, unfortunately your voyager mission can’t be accepted, as it appears the fuel in your probe has been consumed

you will have to redo the mission without consuming the fuel on your probe

Here you go, the core has 2 pics because of its size.

Your performance is surprising to be honest...
I recreated your mission, but it seems your launcher can't reach orbit with that much fuel. This is what I had when I tried:

Actually I had a bit more, 56%, I made a mistake, but this is still far below what you showed:

From your screenshot you rather had around 75-80% of remaining fuel.

From this screenshot, you still had a lot of fuel when you crossed the orbit of the Moon:

This is far from being optimal, it's best to burn all the fuel while you're still close to the Earth, that's the Oberth effect.

Your launcher is not bad, I tested, it can do it, but we can't accept a suspect performance.

Tip: You can easily increase your rocket's performance by adding a third stage.

For the rest, if you need advice don't hesitate to have a look at the tutorial.

Last thing, when you show your ending velocity make sure you show it at one of the specified marks:

It's not a big issue if you are not exactly at the mark, but try to be as close as possible.

Altaïr, I made quicksaves, what if I loaded the last one and screenshoted the exact marks?
If that was the only problem it would be fine, but I would also like to understand how you managed to reach orbit with that much fuel remaining.
