Missions are a gameplay feature in Exploration mode that provide the player with varying objectives to accomplish in return for science points and narrative progression. They were introduced in the For Science! update and are accessed from the Mission Control facility at the Kerbal Space Center. Each mission is predefined unlike most missions in KSP 1 which were procedurally generated. Missions can be tracked from Mission Control and viewed in the mission tracker app during flight. Missions are separated into two categories: primary and secondary. Every mission comes with a description, objective, and science points reward. The description provides an explanation behind why your agency is being asked to complete the objective. The objective is the task that must be completed and the reward is how many science points you will earn upon completion. Upon completion of any mission Dr. Keri Kerman provides a mission debrief congratulating the player on their success and describing the customer response. Primary missions also include a mission brief that gives additional context to the mission and its connection to the story. The total amount of science earned from completing all missions is 86,875.
Primary missions
Primary missions are designed to progressively push the player further deeper into the Kerbol system. These missions generally involve furthering exploration, finding and visiting monuments, and carry an overarching narrative. There are 11 primary missions.
