KSP 1.0 Careermode: Day 3 to Day 6 - A glimpse of Mun

A manned mission to Mun is out of the question, but a probe just might be possible. If the batteries hold out long enough. And so I built a Munar probe, strapped a R-05 rocket to the bottom and set out to conquer Mun.

First visit to a new world...

Just before the batteries gave in, I managed to send the temperature scan data back to Kerbin. I had just enought to make a retrograde burn to deorbit the craft before the batteries went completely dead. I don't like leaving debris in orbit and an impact with Mun makes for nice explosions. Jeb was realy pleased and so was I.
