Mercury descent and touchdown. I deployed the solar panels at the last possible second but Steam Edition is 1.5+ so I don't think they were required.

If this mission still instantly awards Team Hawk, this will be my last challenge entry.

That's perfect. This single mission directly awards team Hawk if no solar panel is broken indeed. Opening the solar panels isn't even required actually.

Mooncrasher will give you your badge, congratulations!

Actually I realized he still has to complete the Voyager quest, so this one can't be validated for now.

Yeah that's what I meant lol
Did he not do the voyager quest or is it just not approved/no badge given yet?

He did it, but with a launcher that was considered too close to the tutorial one.

But I'm sure he can do it, before that he made an attempt below the old limit of 250 tons that was very close :)

I'll probably be giving the voyager quest another few attempts in the following days/weeks. Is this challenge still going to be considered for Team Hawk after I complete the voyager quest?

Yes of course! If you validate the Voyager quest you instantly qualify for team Hawk. Don't hesitate to remind us if we forget when it happens.

This is still the most fine cut challenge to date. Well done dude, you finish up Voyager and this is your trophy.
