Considering how big our starships are and how they don't have that much Delta V, R&D made a new engine

But we are not going to Jupiter, just using a gravitational flingshot;) See for part 2

Gasp!!! Saturn?!
IMG_3464.PNG

I'm lucky!!! Flyby of Enceladus!!
IMG_3465.PNG

While inside SOI using the moon to slow down more for a Titan encounter, well looks like I got more lucky
IMG_3466.PNG

Here ya go!!

There you go
IMG_3469.PNG

Entering for Enceladus SOI
IMG_3470.PNG

Beautiful

CubeEuropa
IMG_3472.PNG

We have enough fuel for a Mimas flyby.
IMG_3473.PNG

The end of the mission

Final picture from Discovery 2 for now until we can get it. Mimas looks great!!!

A string of progess:
Explorer 16 is a satellite doing micrometeorite satellite that is later going to be in a very high orbit way above the moon's
IMG_3485.PNG
IMG_3486.PNG

Explorer 17 is the atmospheric satellite that will use seven instruments for instantaneous data collecting as seen here launching from a Thor-Delta
IMG_3487.PNG
IMG_3488.PNG

Explorer 18 as previously mentioned, the interplanetary monitoring platform, collecting data of interplanetary stuff like energetic particles, cosmic rays and plasmas, will be launched from a Atlas-Agena. Explorer 19 will be a lunar flyby mission, clear to take pictures of the far side of the moon.

After a few changes, we moved Explorer 18 as Explorer 19 after a renaming failure. Here is the actual Explorer 18:

Things got..... odd for the Navisat constellation of 26 satellites.... messy launching of the first fleet
IMG_3516.PNG

IMG_3517.PNG

Ok......
IMG_3519.PNG

Well crap, magnet physics

Here is everyone

So, new update:) Explorer 20....
IMG_3541.PNG

IMG_3542.PNG

Aka the Ionosphere Explorer, it measures ionospheric electron density in the Ionosphere with a Spherical Ion-Mass Spectrometer that measures ion mass spectra and ion temperatures.
Also there will be another video coming up soon.

As a person who actually understands and actively learns about this field of science, I can confirm actually sounds correct. (Except ion temperatures?)

Here is the LES test(Notice its the same one launching the first Explorer satellites):
A manned spacecraft test will be happening soon that will involve the same rocket, posted tomorrow. Orbital test of the full spacecraft will happen somewhere around the 26th.
Also, Explorer 21 is classified

Here is the Florida Starship. It's a SSTO that when refueled, can go anywhere to a direct Jupiter.

Even though there is no update as CLASSIFIED, I decided to make the Messing With SFS: UNCN Edition. Just me making things while I'm bored

While the Explorer Program goes through a Dawnbreak thing, we are introducing the Scout Program! The Scout Program is a program uses the small Scout family of rockets, and launch commercial(more specifically you guys, youtube, and fandom) payloads!
  • Scout-1: The mainline descendant of the Scout Missile, the Scout-1 will be used for suborbital
  • Scout-2: Mostly like the IRL Scout rockets, the Scout-2 can take payloads to LEO or HEO with a lunar flyby

Welcome in..... the Jupiter Clipper!!(Not so creative name). After doing the first 2 flybys of VEEGA, we do the final flyby
IMG_3701.PNG

Using the moon as a way to get us faster
IMG_3702.PNG

IMG_3703.PNG

We do a retrograde to find ourselves in a DOUBLE fly?! Io then Europa.
IMG_3705.PNG

Here is the probe
IMG_3706.PNG

IMG_3709.PNG

Footage will come soon
IMG_3712.PNG

We do a correction burn to not end up in Jupiter's gravity after taking data from Europa. We have a second Europa flyby
IMG_3715.PNG

Then a Ganymede flyby with a correction burn again.
IMG_3718.PNG

IMG_3719.PNG

Then finally, a Callisto flyby
IMG_3724.PNG

Here is telemetry
IMG_3726.PNG

IMG_3725.PNG

Photos will come later.

Explorer 30, a telescope designed to find out of what's happening in the interstellar space around Sol. Launched on a Neptune 1 with a modified third stage, Explorer 30 heads to LEO.
IMG_3733.PNG IMG_3735.PNG IMG_3736.PNG IMG_3737.PNG
Now, since there is not enough fuel, well....

Reusability questioned for Florida SSTOs. Using a Jupiter gravity-assist. Lunar, Io and Europa flybys unexpected. The Lunar flyby let us used less delta-V

Ok, so first of all, I was trying to make a recreation of Explorer 30, now nicknamed the Tycho Brahe Space Telescope. But trying to recreate the Jupiter burn, I end up having this:
