Getting JUICEy: ESA's mission to Jupiter's Icey Moons! | Kerbal Space Program #KSP #space
Well, this video is 2 months overdue, missing the launch window of ESA's JUICE mission and the KSP2 community challenge - Perfect!
So how hard is it to recreate a complex mission to Jupiter in KSP, including multiple gravity assists and deep space manoeuvers?
Well I found out the hard way on my first ever mission to Jool.
Yes, you read that right - I'm a sucker for punishment it seems!
Enjoy!
