Surveyor (KSP 1.8.1/RSS/RO/Principia)
The Surveyor program sent seven unmanned spacecraft to the Moon between June 1966 and January 1968. They were used primarily to determine the feasibility of manned lunar landings and to scout suitable landing locations for the Apollo program.

MTOW Madness at Saba Airport TNCS | X-Plane 11
Testing the limits in X-Plane to see just how badly you need a STOL plane to land at Saba Airport TNCS. To add some extra spice I maxed out the fuel and weight too.
Aircraft used: Freeware LET L-410, Laminar Research Beechcraft King Air tuned by MGouge, Republic RC-3 SeaBee by Dden, Laminar Research Beechcraft Baron, FJS Dash-8-Q-400 Legacy.

Luna 13 (KSP 1.8.1/RSS/RO/Principia)
Luna 13 was the 2nd of two successful Soviet lunar landers. In addition to performing a successful soft landing, this mission took extensive imagery and gathered a great deal of scientific data about the lunar surface.
I land from an impact trajectory here, despite documentation suggesting the real spacecraft landed from orbit. However, MechJeb's thirst for RCS fuel makes using this profile much easier.

The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project | (KSP 1.8.1, RSS, RO, Principia)
The Apollo-Soyuz Test project was a cooperative space mission between the United States and USSR. Its objective was to test a universal docking system to allow future joint missions between the two nations.

Soyuz 4 and 5 (KSP 1.8.1/RSS/RO/Principia)
Soyuz 4 and 5 were the first Soviet spacecraft to rendezvous and dock, and also featured the first crew transfer between two spacecraft.
The mission went as planned until the reentry of Soyuz 5, when the service module failed to decouple on schedule resulting in the spacecraft reentering nose first. Luckily, the service module separated before the hatch melted through and it resumed a normal reentry.

N1: A Soviet Moonshot (KSP 1.8.1/RSS/RO/Principia)
Officially canceled in 1976, the N1 program was the Soviet Union's answer to the Apollo program. The Soviet version however, would carry only two cosmonauts and only one would land on the moon. Four launch attempts were made, all resulted in critical vehicle failures.

Exploring Saturn Roscosmos Style (sort of) | (KSP 1.8.1/RSS/RO/Principia)
A vaguely Roscosmos themed mission, where I put flags and footprints on all seven of Saturn's landable moons in RSS using a combination of RO and Interstellar parts.
Also, it may have been unclear from the video, but I landed from retrograde orbits around Saturn's innermost three moons, all other landings were performed from prograde orbits. This was because prograde orbits around those moons were unstable due to their weak gravitational field and their close proximity to Saturn.
