Brick from Orbit Challenge


Recommended Posts

Ok, so before I explain this challenge let me give you the background. I was starting a new career with the Unmanned before Manned, which makes you start with probes. I took the orbit contract and made a rocket with a Rovemate as it's base. I decided I could use it as a satellite too so I didn't include a parachute. Once I finally got into orbit I saw a contract that said "Return From Orbit". Realizing the mistake I just made, I came up with an idea. I decoupled everything else and landed the Rovemate alone, which is shaped like a brick, like a wing from orbit.

The challenge is...

Easy Mode: Land with no parachutes. (engines and wings allowed)

Hard Mode: Land with nothing but the probe (this includes batteries and solar panels)

Impossible Mode: You can use wings, but have to land from Orbit of Eve

Super Mode: Impress Me

Well I think it would have been better without a service bay, but landing that on Eve is still extremely impressive. Good job! 

Also I didn't really have any design in mind. To win impossible mode you have to be REALLY creative.
