Project Vulcan is actually two different Duna programs I've designed and will be sending at the same time. I'm using a modded save in which I need to account for supplies and habitation using USI-LS. Program 1: the "KOSMO" team is inspired by a Russian idea for a Mars mission from the 1960s. The crafts are inspired by, but not true replicas of Russian craft with the exception of the TMR Halo - which was inspired by NASA's cancelled Constellation design. The mission will send a team of 3 to Duna orbit; hopefully off to Ike where Val will land; back to LDO where they'll meet up with the "Dune Runner" and try to land it in tact. Spend a long term roving trip on Duna before returning to the Halo and then back to Kerbin. Program 2: The "KASE" team will send 10 kerbals to Duna on the CTV Hyperion (Inspired by the Hermes from The Martian). They will rendevous with Orion-inspired Duna orbital shuttles, one of which is set to take a LEM-inspired lander to Ike and return. They will remote land 2 5+ Kerbal habitats, Duna Ascent Vechicles (inspired by the MAV from The Martian) and rovers which the crew is likely to land in. My New Years Goal was to get the mission started and I have so below is the first mission report: I've also been debating trying to do a comic like the great @Kuzzter even though I honestly have no idea what I'm doing with that medium. I threw together 4 test pages following the same rough format as above. I'm not sure which format I'll stick to but I think I'd like to try the comic format if I'm not too bad at it. Pages 1-4
