KSC Commercial Airport Expansion (8/29/20)
As seen from a Progeny Mk7-B on initial ascent, KSC has been expanded to handle more aircraft traffic and be able to ship goods to/from Umbarg via rail as well as road
80km Apokee (8/30/20)
Looking back down towards the Cape from the highest point on its trajectory, the second Progeny Mk7-B will soon have to prepare for re-entry
Genesis Program Mission Paths (8/30/20)
A look at the routes from all 125 missions undertaken by the now shuttered Genesis Program from 2016-2020. These aircraft and all that have been produced continue to fly of course, just no longer under the purview of the KSA and are thus no longer tracked like this by us
Stormy Sunrise (9/1/20)
A low-altitude KerBalloon begins its ascent up to 16.5km over the grasslands west of KSC as threatening clouds loom over the mountains to the north
Ascension Mk2 Kerbin II (9/2/20)
The various segments of the second Mk2 undergo final checkouts before being vertically stacked atop the Mobile Launch platform parked behind them
Departure to the North (9/2/20)
A caravan of Utility Task Vehicles head out carrying a high-altitude KerBalloon crew. The balloon itself is strapped atop the 3rd vehicle, with the second vehicle carrying other mission-critical supplies and the first vehicle carrying less-critical supplies so it can act as a pathfinder to discover any poor terrain or sink holes
Asteroids of August 2020 (9/3/20)
11 known encounters with 2 impacts nearly brings it into a 3-way tie for busiest month which still stands at 12
MLP & GSE (9/4/20)
The Mobile Launch Platform is driven out to the pad and parked next to the Ground Service Equipment to ensure that it is still in good working condition after its only other use early this year
REZ-109(E) Plot (9/6/20)
The first recorded asteroid pass through the Eve system. Although just a graze, with additional observations to the slight change in orbit, astronomers can better nail down the gravitational effects of Eve and its small moon Gilly to help with future orbital missions to the system
Second Time a Second Time (9/8/20)
We successfully static fire a booster that was already static fired then refurbished for the second time in a row without any apparent mishaps. Further data checks will need to be made to ensure it performed as expected but this is another big step on the way to re-flying a used booster! In the background a train departs for Umbarg from the rail depot and framed in the trusses of the vertical test stand you can find Minmus
