[Video] My Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager Adventures

[SebbiLebga]

The goals for the Soyuz missions are becoming more and more advanced: the most recent goal is now to perform a docking of two Soyuz spacecrafts in LEO.

[SebbiLebga]

After the final docking experiment with a crew exchange, it is time to start testing the Soyuz spacecraft in the lunar landing configuration.

[SebbiLebga]

After successful Soyuz 7K-OK LOK missions, it is also time to test the components for the actual lunar landing: the LK Lander will be launched on top of a N1 rocket.

[SebbiLebga]

In this special episode, I will take a look back and talk about key moments of my Space Program Manager Let's Play series.

[SebbiLebga]

The test flights with the LK-700 in LEO are making good progress and soon the first missions will be scheduled to fly up to the Moon.

[SebbiLebga]

The LK-700 tests in LEO are finally finished and all the upcoming flights are heading towards the Moon.

[SebbiLebga]

After many tests the Soyuz and LK Lander components finally received the seal of approval to be used for a landing on the Moon.

[SebbiLebga]

I was lucky and got access to a special closed beta version of the Space Program Manager to test out the multiplayer functionality. This video will give you a general overview about this new game mode.

This is the beginning of my "Apollo Challenge" series. The challenge is basically about achieving a Lunar Landing in the SPM before Q4.1973. However, the only crewed missions I'm allowed to launch are the Apollo Program missions.

[SebbiLebga]

Everything is working as planned and the detailled preparations of the missions seem to pay off.

[SebbiLebga]

The first issues with the Apollo Challenge start to appear and it seems to become very unlikely that this space program will ever have a successful end.

[SebbiLebga]

It becomes more and more obvious that this Apollo Challenge will be a failure. However, it is not Q4.1973 and so everything should be possible!

[SebbiLebga]

The first attempt of the Apollo Challenge was a failure. However, I increased the difficulty by playing on the NASA side. In this case, I like to attempt a second try, but this time I will play on the side of the GSA to increase the amount of light-weight probes.

[SebbiLebga]

The second attempt of the Apollo Challenge makes good progress and everything seems to work out as desired.

[SebbiLebga]

[SebbiLebga]

The GSA Apollo Challenge seems to work well: interplanetary missions are launched and GSA scientists are developing the powerful Saturn V rocket.

[SebbiLebga]

After a good start into the Apollo Challenge, a huge problem suddenly appears.



The next episode of my SPM Let's Play series will go live shortly after new content is available.

[SebbiLebga]

I was lucky again and I got access to a new interim build of the Space Program Manager. The new build features the first implementation of the Campaign Mode! Let's give it a try!

[SebbiLebga]

Finally, the Soviet scientists have done a great job and the space agency is now able to launch the very first satellite. Will we be able to beat the opposing faction?

[SebbiLebga]

After successful sattelite launches, it is now time to begin the manned space exploration. Unfortunately, the astronauts have learned some new tricks and are now requiring a rest season.
