What are the first contracts in Kerbin?
The first contracts are provided by the Kerbin World-Firsts Record-Keeping Society and guide the players to their first successful orbit by posing smaller, interactive challenges such as breaking records of speed, altitude, and distance. Later on, other agencies offer contracts that are bound to the player's progression such as the first flying-by, orbiting, and landing on celestial bodies. These contracts are the same for every player and are not procedurally generated. They can thus be seen as the story line of the career. They have in common that they do not have a deadline once they are accepted but they are not offered indefinitely and can thus expire. See also List of story line contracts.
