Categories:

Mission Dispatch

Our first orbit-capable rocket makes its debut flight after months of testing and development and a few false starts leading up to launch. The hopes of this flight lie upon an engine that has seen a lot of use already in testing…

Progeny Mk6 Block I Flight 4 (Radiation Field Study 4)

Categories:

Mission Dispatch

Although threatened by weather on both launch and landing the latest flight for the Mk6-I was a complete success despite some technical issues during the freefall back to Kerbin. It also may have discovered the edge of the hazardous radiation region

Progeny Mk6 Block I Flight 3 (Radiation Field Study 3)

Categories:

Mission Dispatch

With success on the last flight everyone was confident in a good return for this one as well, launching a heavier payload mass and greater inclination that would lower its apokee as we continued to explore the region of high radiation levels above the planet

Progeny Mk5 Block I Flight 4

Categories:

Mission Dispatch

The first flight of 2018 takes the Progeny to new heights as we test out what we felt were our best ascent procedures to date, shattering several records along the way and increasing our knowledge of space flight

Progeny Mk5 Block I Flight 2 (Radiation & Gravimetric Studies)

Categories:

Mission Dispatch

Although the ascent did not go entirely as planned, a proper initial launch allowed the rocket to reach a staggering 493km up into space, far exceeding any and all expectations on its performance!

Progeny Mk5 Block I Flight 1

Categories:

Mission Dispatch

The debut of our new, more powerful Mk5 rocket was marred by weather and a launch anomaly that led to only part of the rocket leaving the launch pad, impacting the water 8km downrange with a total loss of the payload

Progeny Mk5 Flight 3

Categories:

Mission Dispatch

Additional computer control takes charge of another successful flight, though not without minor errors & also a day late launching thanks to religious protesters and strict weather constraints

Progeny Mk5 Flight 2

Categories:

Mission Dispatch

The Mk5 makes another successful flight almost identical in trajectory to the first but the major difference was in how the computer controlled part of the ascent, decoupling the boosters & shredding the 3rd stage fins.

Progeny Mk4 Flight 3

Categories:

Mission Dispatch

Although it ultimately survived its trip into space, catastrophic events that unfolded during its ascent cast a heavy pall upon our achievement of breaking free of the atmosphere surrounding Kerbin at last
