In addition to the normal Munar/lunar orbit rendezvous(MOR/LOR) architecture, NASA studied several other approaches, that involved 2 rockets. Type 1: Earth/Kerbin Orbital Rendezvous(EOR/KOR) Launch an unmanned lander into LKO, then dock a MK1 pod to it and perform an Apollo-style mission from there. Or: Launch an unmanned booster into LKO, and dock a direct-ascent lander to it(that can land on the Mun and get back to kerbin.) My mission was that kind. Type 2: Joint Lunar Obit Rendezvous Launch an unmanned lander into lunar/munar orbit, then send a MK1 pod to it and perform an Apollo-style mission from there. Scoring: Start with 200 points for completion. Subtract 1 point for each part used. Subtract 5 points for each tech node you use. That is too hard, but if you go low-tech, you'll get the "impress me" 3x bonus. Bonuses: Use RSS or resized kerbin: X2 Bring a rover: X2 Lander is two stage: +10 You couldn't redock in lunar orbit and had to EVA: Divide by 2 Used Mechjeb during flight(OK in VAB): Divide by 2 Use RO: X2 Use KOS: X2 Use any Life Support Mod: X2 Use Asparagus Staging: Divide by 2 Land on minimus: Divide by 2 Instead of using a MK1 pod, used a small shuttle: X2 No fuel transfer at all: X2 Impress me: X3 For example, if you launched a 50 part lander(parts include launcher!) and a 60 part command module, with life support, mechjeb, and asparagus staging, your score will be 45. Leader boards Type 1(EOR/KOR): 1. sevenperforce- 1044 points 2. DAL59- 140 points 3. 4. 5. Type 2(LOR/MOR) 1. mk1980- 1304 points 2. sevenperforce- 316 points 3. 53miner53- 268 points 4. 5. 6. Remember, you must launch two rockets. Good Luck!
