the original plan to develop a 1.25m TVC vacuum engine was put on hold to instead work on the 1m vac engine suitable for payloads and also because our experience with the Progeny Mk7 made us want to get more TVC engineering data from the Mk8 for a fully TVC Ascension Mk4 by 2022

the 1st flight of our highly-successful & longest-active rocket the Progeny Mk6 Block I was carried out #OTD in 2018 and until now has lacked ascent telemetry, which can be viewed on our Ops Tracker: kerbalspace.agency/Tracker/tracke… it set a new altitude record for the time of 580.6km

run and hide! run and hide!
but the plan is to eventually be able to better spot these objects with the help of space telescopes and redirect them when needed with spacecraft. Until then surface development remains severely restricted unless rate of impacts lowers in coming yrs

[L-5h40m] Flight Director Lanalye has assembled her A team of launch controllers for final preflight briefing. Here is all you need to know about today's planned ascent, which will actually be more aggressive than the Mk2 that failed just over a year ago: ops.kerbalspace.agency

full network check complete for all ground stations to ensure Kerbin III can call home at any time. Antenna have only a limited range for LKO while our DSN dishes can reach across the Kerbin system & beyond to varying degrees. Explore more: ops.kerbalspace.agency/?body=Kerbin-S…

since we knew there would be no recovery of engineering camera footage, no video was taken just rapid still shots (4fps) that could be beamed down during ascent. Here is the flipover performed by the Viklun stage that had @DKerman_KSA going "No..no..nooo...nononoNONONONOOOOOOOO!"

you can always replay yesterday's launch in the Ops Tracker by visiting this link (ops.kerbalspace.agency) but if you want to do any work with the actual telemetry data it is now available as well: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

all our crew (bit.ly/CrewRoster) have moved in to their new berths, are already messing up the common area

some wiring has shorted, plumbing is leaking - "ahead of time & under budget!" from the contractor may not have been in our best interest...

it's sunset, and the last place light touches at KSC is the largest building on Kerbin: the VAB, standing 67m tall

the Progeny Mk1 final design review is unfortunately behind schedule but we expect approval by the end of the week according to Drew & Simon
