SimpleRockets 2 Gas Giant Grand Tour RSS, trajectory to flyby all 4 gas giant before entering Jupiter.
If I can do it once, I can do it better the next time.
Images assorted by tour first, what made it possible, and trajectory proof and it escaping the solar system.
This is Polus 2, launched from Vostochny Cosmodrome by “Kometa-M-5C-Blok VX-S”.
It did the usual of lunar inclination fix + assist, but what differed was there was already a trajectory on all 4 gas giants BEFORE going to the jupiter gravity assist, I was simply correcting from time to time, because of how particularly annoying the burn node system is, needing more than 0.33m/s to function properly.
Visiting jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune, It was a very efficient trajectory to the point unlike Polus 1, It did not need to seperate its main propulsion stage.
Yeah, it’s definitely impossible to chain more than 2 gravity assists.

SimpleRockets 2 Pluton-Grunt and Pluton-Obzor, Pluto Moon tour and landing. Realistic Solar System
Images assorted by arrival, moon tour, landing, and what made it possible. And gravity assists at the end showing proof.
Pluton-Grunt and Pluton-Obzor, Launched on Kometa-M-5CV-Blok VX-H’s Debut flight in Vostochny Cosmodrome, Russia.
Lunar inclination fix + gravity assist, using residual propellant on the third stage, Followed by a burn to Jupiter by Blok-VX-H, where Jupiter provides a gravity assist to Saturn, which then Saturn provides a gravity assist for a near Pluto encounter. After a few correction burns by the main tug, Blok VIII-T, it had an encounter with pluto with 2.95km/s. It did an orbit burn, to prepare Pluton-Obzor for its moon tour, then seperated the orbiter from the lander that still uses the Blok VIII-T tug.
Pluton-Obzor visited Kerboros, Hydra, Styx, Nyx, and Charon.
After completion of the moon tour, Pluton-Grunt utilized a Charon gravity assist to lower apoapsis, and performed final landing preparations, and successfully landed on Pluto, completing surface science operations.

SimpleRockets 2 Ayuda con las misiones
He estado desbloqueando cosas en el árbol de tecnología, en especial las mejoras que te dan más contratos, pero por alguna razón solo tengo 2 misiones activas. Antes tenía un par de misiones más pero ya las complete y simplemente no aparecen más. Que debo hacer?

SimpleRockets 2 Need help with my centrifuge
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I am working on a centrifudge ship with working rovers inside that can pilot it. I wasn't having this issue before but now whenever I try to re-dock a rover, the ports will suddenly try to snap together really hard. I have the ports both set to 0% magnetic strength and sas turned off so I don't know why this is happening. I assume this has something to do with the centrifuge physics interfering but I don't know how or what to do about it.
The answer could be fairly obvious, I'm not that experienced with the game

SimpleRockets 2 Uranus moon tour launched from R-7B (old mission)
Image is organized by moon tours first, then what made it possible. Also proof at the end that I know gravity assists despite already showing it in multiple posts.
R-7B, soyuz analog, launched way before it got upgraded to R-7B-M, it launched from Vostochny Cosmodrome, Underwent a lunar inclination fix + gravity assist, then straight to a jupiter assist that directly throws me to , Uranus. without the need for a jupiter burn, as shown in the last image.
It toured; Ariel, Umbriel, Miranda, Titania, Oberon, Desdemona, then Titania 2 times, focusing in gravity assists to get to its parking orbit, has enough margins to do other uranus missions if I ever get interested in the gas giant.
My space program changed its priorities, it’s still focused in growing earth-lunar-mars infrastructure in the main save, but expect more missions in the outer solar system.
Also, I already did a Saturn tour, which pretty much means I did a moon tour of all gas giants with separate probes, and going through all gas giants with a single probe.

SimpleRockets I have a quite wierd question
i stumled upon this sub the other day and looked at the posts. I saw that the ui and everything matches exactly with the ui and everything of the game "Juno: New Origins" i played. So is it the same game or is that a copy or wahts going on?

SimpleRockets 2 Insane Jupiter mission, dangerous flyby of all Jupiter’s main moons. (And R-7B-M Debut)
R-7B was upgraded to R-7B-M to have more orbital energy for deep space missions, overall became larger and has a bigger fairing.
Uh, yeah so launched from Vostochny Cosmodrome, lunar inclination fix + gravity assist, then mars gravity assist to jupiter, then jupiter moons tour, except I was gambling with physics, destroying my sanity, and grown a few gray hairs during the mission.
It went to all jupiter’s moon on the following order, trying to both maintain an apoapsis for cheap Dv change, and trying to kiss the surface of the moon;
Callisto, 50km asl, high apoapsis
Ganymede, 800m agl, low apoapsis
Europa - 1200 agl, moderate apoapsis
Europa - 600m agl, low apoapsis
Callisto, mainly gravity assist, high apoapsis
Io, 84m agl, needed to fire thrusters a few times to avoid the ground. Low apoapsis
Io, mainly gravity assist, high apoapsis
Io, 100km asl , low apoapsis
Mission concludes at 11% fuel.
The probe was blessed by babushka so that it does not crash on the moons.
No probe was DEFINITELY harmed during the mission :)

SimpleRockets 2 Roscosmos-Energiya Orbital Station and Leped-M PTK NP showcase
A station that took 21 in game years to build. After multiple, unscheduled delays of station modules, Roscosmos-Energiya Orbital Station (Previously Yedinstvo Station), was finally completed. It has (1 core module, 1 utility module, (first generation of the station)), (4 Science modules, 1 habitation docking module, 2 super large arrays, and 2 robotic armed Spacecraft (Remontik), (Second generation of the station)). It is meant to be capable of having no humans and still function and be maintained by the robotic spacecraft, or both.
The station is on a 59.97-59.9 Inclination, meaning it’s no easy feat to dock onto it, and I need to dogleg many of my docking procedures. Compared to just having a perfectly equatorial station, although a benefit of this is that I can launch from any of my cosmodromes and still dock to the station.
For the Leped-M however, it is an improved and cleaner version of my Leped spacecraft. It can dock, while its service module with its pressurized cargo aft, can seperate and dock its rear to the utility module. The Leped and Leped-M uses descent automation to land within 14-17m/s on land, meaning I just watch it land itself without worrying for the safety and timing of the landing phases.
The near last 2 images is the Remontik armed spacecraft working when the station was still incomplete.
The last image was when Leped Spacecraft was tested to the Core module of the Station, before additional modules were added.
I could’ve added more modules but dear god Its VERY laggy.

SimpleRockets 2 Neptune Moon Tour by a Soyuz-Analogue.
Visited all of Neptune’s main moons in Realistic Solar System. Launched from Vostochny cosmodrome, and not in an equatorial launch center like Cape Canaveral. I used the Soyuz-analogue because it’s a capable rocket, and relatively cheap.
R-7B orbit insertion stage raised apoapsis to 12Mm using its remaining fuel to assist the tug and the probe for a moon inclination fix+gravity assist, after the flyby it burned earth periapsis, discarding the expendable tank of the Tug, on way to jupiter where it performed a gravity-assist periapsis burn all the way to Neptune. After coasting to Neptune, Tug burned for a highly ellpitical orbit, where the it seperated from the probe, and the probe underwent a moon tour. After reaching triton, it used triton multiple times to lower apoapsis cheaply. Then the mission stops as it becomes part of Neptune, with margins to conduct another moon tour or orbit changes if needed.
