This mission involves attaching two Solar Panels and two Linked Ion Drives to a test craft near STA, before accelerating the ship so that its Velocity is in the green section of the velocity gauge.

Mission briefing
To compensate for the Ion Drive's lack of power, the agency's engineers have devised a way to allow multiple Ion Drives to be fire simultaneously.
Any of these Linked Ion Drives that are attached to the same power grid will fire together.
A new test craft is under construction near to the Space Station (STA). Complete it by adding the final two solar panels and two of the new Linked Ion Drives. Connect everything to the power grid. These new drive units are very power hungry. You will need to power down some of the unused modules in the space craft.
Select one of the Ion Drives and fire it. The other unit should also fire. Accelerate the space craft into the green area on the velocity gauge to complete the mission.
Trivia
- After completing this mission, if you load a new sandbox, the unfinished test craft can be found near STA
