My First Successful Mun and Minmus Missions! With a Rover, too!

Recommended Posts

I've been trying to land on the Mun for a while, and just recently got back to KSP when 0.20.2 hit. After starting over again, I wanted to achieve landing on Mun and Minmus and have a manned rover available for transport. I ran into all sorts of problems trying to come up with a delivery system for the rover and still being able to land the craft. After browsing a bit on KSP's reddit and looking at the rover + skycrane example craft I had an idea on how to achieve my goal. In the end I came up with the solution of attaching the rover upside down to the landing craft and attaching a skycrane to that. The crane itself supports the rover + lander during the ascent to Kerbin orbit. Here's a mission summary (with pictures!) of how it worked out:
