Ah, thanks. I was wondering what "secret" controls the ship-builder has.

After much Trials and tribulation, Probius 1 makes it into a Munar Orbit.

Probius 2 and 3 are scheduled to launch with Minimus and Eve targets.

Probius 2 in an Orbit around Minimus. Shortly after transmitting this photo, the probe spontaneously combusted. We have no clue why(I accidentally hit End Flight).

Probius 3 reaches it's orbit around Eve. The journey took 340-ish days(just under a year) and a lot of guess work. I could've probably cut the time in half had I realized the best way to work the flight planning system. As the satellite was pretty much on it's own propulsion around the time it encountered Eve, I had to Aerobrake.

After a burn to mostly circularize the orbit, the tanks were just about empty(could probably fine tune the orbit a tad more before running out, but what's the point?)

awsome posts, i have barely managed to land a probe on the mun. Pressed the wrong button once and sent that lander nearly back into space.
