Clementine, the Deep Space Program Science Experiment, was the first attempt at doing deep space exploration by the Cheaper, Faster, Better route. Dozens of light-weight components were tried for the first time on Clementine.

 Spending two months in a polar lunar orbit, Clementine mapped the entire surface of the Moon for the first time, making the initial discovery of ice in continuously shaded craters at the Moon's poles. An attempted flyby of the near-Earth asteriod Geographos failed, but don't let that discourage you from trying it yourself! 

Extensive documentation is included. CVEL Titans 1.32 is required to run the launch scenarios, Asteriod Pack 1.00 is required for a flyby of Geographos. Burn Time Calculator MFD and Interplanentary MFD are very helpful. VandenbergAFB SLC-4 West furnishes a historically correct start to the mission. All are available here at Orbithangar.
