KERBIN SOI – KERBIN BRAKING BURN
***
- What are you talking most?
- If information technology was followed by a coronal mass ejection, quite possible with a flare so large... so if this mass ejection was directed towards Kerbin and if information technology hit...
- End correct in that location. I don't want to listen it. We're going home, yous hear me? WE'RE GOING HOME! Turn on the damn beacon!
- Proficient. At present go on an middle on anything even remotely unusual, I'll be right back.
- Okey-dokey.
- Captain'south log, entry 167. Is it possible? Could all this struggle, all our hopes be for zero? Could the Lord's day really have destroyed our culture in i violent boom? Or mayhap it'south just our paranoia, delusions of a cosmic castaways? Kerbin is visible with a naked eye, shortly we volition pass Minmus orbit, than after a few hours Mun's and finally we volition reach Kerbin itself. Whatsoever happens next, this is the terminate of our journey. I have to say that I couldn't have imagined improve ship than „Kadmosâ€Â. Beingness the pinnacle of the spacecraft technology, he still barely made it. Against all ods, pierced by meteorites, bathed in deadly radiation, and almost torn apart by excessive aerobraking „Kadmos†still manages to get usa here, to go us home. Before u.s.a. lies the last obstacle on a very long list - achieving the parking orbit above Kerbin is our final chore. This is probably my concluding entry, at least I hope then. What more can I say? We all did our best. Before long nosotros'll see if at that place is any happy ending to our journey. Stop. Save and shut the file.
- ENTRY RECORDED.
- Have y'all contacted the mission control?
- Non yet. I'm checking every channel used by KASA but so far in that location is simply a white noise. Maybe when we will become closer our sensors will selection something.
- And what virtually our distress signal?
- The beacon is operational but information technology seems that nobody has detected usa yet.
- Foreign. Every bit shortly as you notice anything which could…
- Await! Did you hear that?
- Hither what?
- Listen!
…yuz…o for…mission…docki…epeat…
- My Kod…
- Checking the signal. It'south definitely KASA! Weird though, it seems to be on 1 of this old emergency channels.
- Who cares! My Kod, a new voice afterwards 12 months…
- You lot know Jeb, information technology doesn't hateful annihilation. It could be some former message from broken comsat or something, nosotros all the same don't know if this sun flare…
- Cut it out with this stupid doomsday theory of yours, will ya? Nosotros have lost the contact more than a year ago, we've just reached the Kerbin SOI and you lot recall you know what happened here?
- Well, neither practise y'all.
- Merely I'm not bold annihilation, so don't human action similar you crazy idea is legitimate in whatever way. Now, tin can nosotros send anything using this aqueduct?
- Yes, we can use information technology.
- Ok, record this. Prepare? Become. Mission Control, Mission Command, this is â€Å"Kadmosâ€Â, I repeat, this is IMPV â€Å"Kadmosâ€Â, captain Jebedaiah Kerman speaking. Our ship is in a critical condition, we request firsthand assistance. This is helm Jebedaiah from â€Å"Kadmosâ€Â, 2 my coiffure members are badly injured and our landers are non operational, we require transport from to the surface. Mission Control, Mission Control, this is â€Å"Kadmosâ€Â. The ship is on an escape trajectory from Kerbin SOI and we're going to execute braking fire in a few hours, our current periapsis is almost 5000 km higher up Kerbin. Mission Command, Mission Control, this is â€Å"Kadmosâ€Â, please answer. Finish.
- Got it.
- Now play it afterward every three beacon signals. They have to detect this. I'm going to check out how Sid and Fizz are doing.
- Hey guys, how are you feeling? Everything all right Fizz?
- Come up on Jeb, yous know that nosotros're all thinking at present nearly one affair but: home.
- I know. And you lot Sid?
- I can't mutter. I can see Kerbin out of this window and that'due south something you don't expect to hear from someone seriously injured far away in a deep space. When Mac told me what happened, I was pretty surprised I go far at all. And the fact that we're here, after all those misfortunes – that's quite amazing, I would say.
- Yeah, that's true. But we did it and now there is simply one thing to do earlier the happy ending.
- What? Did we regain communication with Mission Control?
- Not however merely don't worry, it volition happen shortly. In the concurrently, considering â€Å"Kadmos†delicate state, I think we all should carry on accordingly to the emergency lifeboat procedure.
- What do you lot hateful?
- We tin can't aerobrake nor nosotros can country on Kerbin's surface. We have to expect for some KASA's vehicle and information technology may fifty-fifty require some extra-vehicular action from us, so we need to be prepared. I want everyone to be fully suited and in the command pod during the braking burn down. This way we will be dorsum in home as presently every bit possible… what is it - Sid?
- Rescue mission? You lot think we need a rescue?
- I estimate you can use the term â€Å"assistance†but does it matter?
- Oh yes information technology does. Nosotros weren't defeated, â€Å"Kadmos†is nonetheless operational and I consider this a huge success later all we've been through. Nosotros're not some helpless castaways in a derelict ship, we're the first mission to the very edge of Kerbol system returning safely to habitation later on 2 years in space. Yous recollect we failed as a pioneers? I don't think and then.
- Mind Sid, nosotros can argue semantics all 24-hour interval if you want, merely just after I inhale some good ol'Kerbin'southward air, okay?
- Good bespeak Fizz. Okay, start prepping for the braking burn, I'll help yous subsequently I finish some engine calibrations. Mac, if you demand some help ask Ned, he's not doing annihilation until we receive a response from home.
- All right Jeb.
- And how'due south it?
- Still nil and nosotros are very close now. I take a bad feeling nearly this.
- What about those readings we detected shut to Kerbin?
- Whatever it is, it'southward on the other hemisphere now. On the other paw, KSC should pass the terminator soon, so we yet have the chance to contact them earlier braking - burn.
- I don't retrieve so, we are couple of minutes from periapsis. Well, first nosotros shall worry well-nigh this maneuver – did you lot bank check the reactor chamber?
- Well, non when I was here trying to contact Mission Control, but I checked information technology this morn similar ever. You know the calculations, if we don't exceed 27% of reactor power level we shall be all right. There were some minor bug with pressure level simply I can't really do anything with it without tools and you know information technology.
- Yeah. Go tell them to come hither, we're starting in a few minutes.
- Everyone ready? This is the last matter between us and habitation guys, cheer up. Sid?
- I'yard ready, it's just a weird feeling to be in a spacesuit again.
- Are you certain y'all're okay?
- Aye, don't worry about me.
- Okay then. T+5 minutes. The braking burn volition take some time due to ability limits.
- All right.
- It's a shame there ain't more windows hither.
- By the manner, have you closed all the hatches between modules?
- Err… no?
- Than what are you waiting for? Practise it. Sid was correct, nosotros're not some drastic castaways, we're kerbonauts on a mission and we will exercise this concluding maneuver by the book.
- Aye-yep, sir!
- I will treat this irony every bit a sign of your recovery, Buzz. T+three minutes.
- Yous know, we were lucky to stick with the Dragons after all, without those CO2 filters nosotros will have some serious problems past now.
- And speaking of which, when will we have these problems?
- You mean increasing level of CO2?
- Okay, all hatches closed!
- Yup.
- Well, co-ordinate to my calculations more or less in iii days.
- Wow, we're actually pushing information technology, don't nosotros?
- Yous know, it could…
- Placidity anybody!
- Is this Mission Control?!
- Hush!
…tify yourself. Echo, place yourself immediately.
- That's them! Oh my Kod, that'due south really them!
- Mission Control, Mission Command, this is â€Å"Kadmosâ€Â, helm Jebedaiah Kerman speaking.
- This is CAPCOM from Mission Command. If this is a joke, information technology ain't funny. â€Å"Kadmos†was declared lost virtually twelvemonth ago and you know about it considering in that location was a national mourning day. Identify yourself immediately! Using the KASA emergency frequency is forbidden by law and punishable by…
- No, yous don't understand! This is not a joke, I am captain Jebadaiah from IMPV â€Å"Kadmosâ€Â. Didn't you receive our distress signal? We are…
- Jeb, the braking burn!
- Frak! Ned, talk to them!
- Mission Command, this is Flight Engineer Nedfurt speaking. Check our ID and trajectory if you don't believe us.
- Main engine operational!
- We crave help immediately, our ship is desperately damaged – ship us someone!
- ID is correct, trajectory seems to be of an interplanetary origin… Great Scott, is this possible? "Kadmos"?
- Aye, that's actually u.s.!
- Fizz, give me the reactor power level, will you?
- But subsequently this solar storm we thought you are dead, nosotros were trying to contact you for weeks simply yous were not responding! We lost almost all the DSN satellites considering of this flare and…
- 21%
- Listen, can you send whatsoever ship upward here? At that place are two injured coiffure members here.
- 23%, be careful Jeb.
- Let me remember, let me think… we can utilize the current Soyuz mission, we're preparing for a launch to the Beta Station right now. It would accept some time though.
- 25%!
- I encounter, I see!
- Yep, yes, ship to the states whatever you take! Use our distress signal to determine our location, nosotros're currently executing the braking burn, our expected orbit after the fire is 4992...
- â€ÂKadmosâ€Â? …mos? Repeat, I can't… sion Contro... repe…
- What the hell?
- Alert. POWER FAILURE IN COMMUNICATIONS Organisation.
- Oh come up on, right now?!
- Buzz, talk to me!
- 26,78%, this ain't looking skilful!
- Come on baby, just a few hundred meters per second more!
- Mission Command, this is â€Å"Kadmosâ€Â. Mission Control, practice you hear me?
- COMMENCING COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM RESTART.
- Look at the pressure readings!
- Jeb, we've passed 30%!
- I'm on a zero throttle already!
- The pressure level is rising!
- Impale the engine!
- I tin't, the reactor is...
