Space engine: Expedition to Lacaille 8760
Construction of the interstellar exploration ship is completed, one of the first with ftl drives. The ship is equipped with an suite of scientific instruments and sensors, and a number of automated drones with imaging equipment and equipment for remote data collection.
Early FTL exploration vessels like this one were only capable low warp factors (due to poor exotic mass collection) producing only slightly faster then light travel and for limited distances as real space velocity needed to be much higher to compensate leading to large fuel consumption. The journey through interstellar space takes about 7.5 years.
Planet 5 of the system, an imposing super-jovian. Weighing in at 6 times the mass of Jupiter the planet is the first stop of the mission and will be used to assist braking. On approach the planet is observed to have 2 notable moons.
The rest of the full mission is in the imgur post!.. I am too lazy to convert everything here and can't figure out if it is possible to embed the imgur album here, so here are some highlight pics. For the full experience go to the imgur album linked at the beginning.
