Korbit 1 - Success.

Kerbal Space Corp. is proud to announce the completion of our first mission -  'Korbit 1'.  

'Korbit 1'  was launched from the Kerbal Space Centre atop a 'Launcher Alpha' rocket, carrying three kerbonauts aboard; Bill Kerman, Jebediah Kerman and Bob Kerman.  'Korbit 1' remained in orbit for 18 hours before returning safely to Kerbin, landing in Kerbistan desert as planned.


The mission successfully tested the orbital capabilities of Kerbal Space Corporation, allowing engineers, scientists, technicians and controllers to test their equipment and practices before the forthcoming Rendezvous mission which will lead toward the development of the 'Korbit Space Station'.
