Extremis Program

  • Overview
  • Extremis 1

Program Patch

Our most ambitious early project, Extremis will open up the Kerbol system and allow us to briefly survey every known planet. These fly bys will allow us to plan more detailed missions in the future. Once the probes are done, they will continue on into interstellar space to pave the way for future travel beyond the Kerbol system.

a final round of static fires last week has completed the WildCat-V's second qualification run & we'll know for sure by next month if it is finally ready for production. If so, two will be ready by Q3 2021 for Extremis I and a Min/Minmus mission

at this time we do not know the nature of the threat or the time frame, but given that we have suffered an attack in the past (kerbalspace.agency/?p=9965) we have no choice but to take this seriously & deal with the relatively minor inconvenience compared to a potential loss of life

there is also now apparently a threat against KSC and we have complied with orders from the government security forces earlier today that the entire facility be evacuated. We will continue to operate at limited capacity from our HQ in Umbarg until the threat has passed

#DYK that until today, Plock wasn't actually the furthest known planet in the kerbolar system? The honor has now been transferred to it from Neidon. Could both lose a chance at this record someday? Scopes are always hunting for new large bodies in the outer system...

obviously planetary scientists crave more images like these but limited scope time has kept them wanting as the majority hunt for mysteries deep in the cosmos. We will give them plenty to do though once the Extremis program gets to work exploring all the worlds in the system!
