Any tips how to finish the a Space Odyssey collection?

I am trying to finish the a space Odyssey collection (in order to get the alien legacy statue).
I know of course that the source is the Apogee missions, but last week I've made about 25-30 flights, without getting a single item (maybe 1.. Not sure).
Any ideas how to get that collection item easier/faster?

You have to be in 1st place.

2nd-3rd position is almost 95% get nothing.

Different than blue or red launch, where 2nd and 3rd positions still have really high chance to get the item drops.

Go for 1st place in your launch! The master of the universe set will “always” give you 1 item from the collection. Other chest can also give you stuff but they are less likely to do so.

Thanks!!
I didn't know that.
That's why I've made many useless space flights with no trophy...

Ironically, I think the Alien Legacy is far harder to get than the space travel monument and rocket garden. Mainly as you only get 1 item in the chest, rather than 2 that you see from blue and red launches.
The previous posts are correct, 1st place will boost your chances.

I agree. The travel monument was easy. Rocket garden, I'm halfway there, but no big deal.
Now I'm back to green, and getting the Alien legacy monument is definitely much harder.

I will go for 1st only, in all future green launches.
