I think that a kerbal should die on this mission because none have before. I think someone should die when a plane crashes on laythe and they have to figure out how to retreive the stuff inside. As for who it should be... Melbe? Clauselle? Some other kerbal who only exists to die? Probably Melbe. Maybe the plane has more people and there has to be a rescue mission? Nah.
Final Idea: The plane is entering Laythe's atmosphere when it loses control. The plane has something explode off in the descent through the atmosphere. Melbe recovers control, but the plane is low (around 1000 meters). She tries to land the plane on an island, but the plane loses its engines and crashes into the Sagen Sea (yes, that's its name, check the wiki).
DO IT KUZZTER
DO IT
btw this is laythe atmosphere.
FOR SCIENCE!
==UPDATE==
Use this Kerbal instead of Melbe:

STILL DO IT
