Tykho Exploration Mission - An Unimaginitive Journey to Jool's largest Moon

[ANWRocketMan]

Introduction:

I have never done a legit mission to land on Tylo. When I say legit I mean without cheat mods like hyperedit or infinite fuel. I have sent uncrewed orbiters and such but never even landed a probe. I mostly play 64K or RSS when memory allows but I decided to return to a vanilla-like game with very few parts mods. Tools and such are freely allowed. So here we go. My first mission to Tylo. And its expanded and extended operations.

Goal:

• Land Kerbals on Tylo.
• Create a re-usable transportation and delivery system from Kerbin to Tylo.
• Create a refuelling station around Tylo.
• Create re-usable ferry systems between the station and Tylo's surface.
• Create a surface base on Tylo with mining facilities.

The preliminary plan:

1. Design a set of launch vehicles to carry cargo and systems to Kerbin orbit.
2. Design a set of vehicles for transporting cargo between Kerbin and Tylo.
3. Design a lander capable of ferrying a Kerbal or two to the surface.
4. Launch a prototype mission to test systems and procedures.
5. Refine the designs and do location scouting for a surface base.
6. Wing it.

"BOB! Did you forget the snacks!" 

"NO! I might have forgotten my Teddy Kraken..."

*Sigh*

WHAT DID YOU FORGET!

(I haven't really seen anyone do a legit mission to Tylo, so this should be fun!)

Uh oh! Do you have a rescue plan?

It was an unkerballed test flight, luckily.
