Challenge: Duna and Ike probe grand tour


Guest

Recommended Posts

Would it be cool if NASA sent an uncrewed probe to Mars and it's moons phobos and deimos. Sadly not now but what if Gene and Von Kerman requested a launch to Duna and Ike and get a whole trip. 

So one day it happened

KSC requests a grand tour of Duna and Ike. Sadly none of the kerbals volunteered as it would be too scary of a trip. Here is the score card.

Points

Bold for Required already

Arrive at Duna and get science for high and low orbits +100 points

Land at Duna +100 points

Arrive at Ike and get science for high and low orbits +100 points

Land at Ike +100 points

No crew + 400 points

full reusable lander for both bodies +150 points

Every biome accomplished on Duna +850 points

Every biome accomplished on Ike +500 Points

Return and land at Kerbin +150 points

Make a video for our challenge video results + 250 points

No RTGS + 250

Under 500000 (for spacecraft cost) +550 points

No relay + 100 points

All science accomplished (all autonomous experiments [meaning deploy-able gear isn't on the list as well as science lab]) +1000 points

No rover + 400 points

Complete all the following above +500 points

Total possible flight score: 4650

Lander requirements

The lander must be a direct ascent lander. Meaning no multiple launches or docking a separate lander.

You can

single stage lander

two stage lander (lander stage and return stage)

Deploy-able lander (expands and folds back into to make less space)

You can't

glider lander

radical decoupled lander (EX: putting duna parachutes on the side and then decouple them after doing all duna landings)

Submissions date

This will close on December 30th 2019.  winners announced a few days after. 

Reward:

You will be submitted to have a program named after yourself. In my space program we name stuff after certain people who decided that name. your name will be in a program that is not announced yet. And don't worry... you will be famous
