Orion Asteroid Exploration Mission | KSP Cinematic

This is a theoretical mission sending astronauts to a Near-Earth asteroid using SLS Block 1B and Orion spacecraft. Based off the NASA Plymouth Rock study design concept which involved a similar approach using Constellation Program hardware.
The personal "lore" I have for this mission is that it's a part of an extension of NASA's Artemis Program, similar to the Apollo Applications Program that spawned the space station Skylab using leftover Apollo hardware.

the asteroid comes from the official DART challenge mod found here forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/205463-nasa-dart-challenge/

This Is Just Masterpice I Cant Just Imagine How Hard It Will Be To Aproach The Asteoridian Orbit And Do Science It Will Be Just So Anoyying To Stay On The Surface Of The Asteroid. The Rocket Is Gud But One Thisng Is Left, The Music Is Just Giving Me Goosebumps Every Time I Lisen To The Music.

Oh, And Thanks To Do It In The My Birthday Month!

[@salticus]

Incredible video! And is that SLS and Orion fully stock (except for maybe the solar panels?)? Because that would make it even more impressive!

[@yukon09]

stock but using custom flags, the solar panel is also a flag

[@Cris022]

Was that Dimorphs?

Its SUPER strange that You haven't gone viral yet they are so good like wow

[@lbdc8537]

I love the way you used SLS! EUS separation (0:56) felt so satisfying! Question, what mods did you use to make the space trajectory UI at 1:13 ?

[@yukon09]

thank you! it's just the map view with UI turned off, i edited the craft location indicator onto it

[@OrbitalDonutKSP]

well done lad, awesome work!!

[@blue_staf4563]

one word. amazing.

[@lewismassie]

This was great, really well build Orion as well

[@yukon09]

glad you liked it!

[@alrightydave]

The silver part on the SLS engine skirt was only there for thermal considerations on green run with engines firing at sea level for so long
It’s white now for flight configuration, not entirely sure yours is but maybe I’m being too picky lol
Otherwise really good as always, best of all out there
Artemis 9 would be flying in block 2 config but certainly a possible Artemis applications program mission during that timeframe
NASA originally intended for the second flight and first crewed mission to be the one to an asteroid in block 1 config which was wild back in the day. I remember this stuff because I grew up watching animations around ~2015 of post constellation stuff but before any new space or Artemis things had any significance at all
Maybe a Dynetics HLS recreation so you can co manifest it in the USA? Or another version of it would really make this into a mega moon rocket

[@yukon09]

oh i left it silver cause it's the same core as my Block 1A version and i forgot to change it, if i make another Artemis program video i'll consider it

[@milo9528]

Love your videos! Also well done on 1k subs!
