Yeah, next time I go to eve I'll redesign so I've got stronger engines, heat shields and some wings. Seems like it would be possible based on what you guys said but I doubt I've got the skill to pull it off. Also, I landed on Gilly already because I gave up lol.

I suppose I could try Gilly. Don't think I'll make it to eve. Thanks for the suggestion!

Ok, thanks to everyone. I'll give it a go and see what happens. Btw, I should've mentioned: I never intended to bring the Kerbal back on this mission. I intended to land her then send a future mission with one of the 3 man Apollo (sorry I don't know the name) capsules to bring her back.

Ok so this SE question basically says it all, but I'm re-posting here because you people probably will know more about this: http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/284475/can-i-slow-down-my-orbit-enough-to-land-on-eve I've successfully gotten a craft in circular orbit around Eve about 100,000 meters up for the first time (I'm a noob). I'd like to land on Eve, however when I try to adjust my orbit into the planet, I'm going way to fast. Over 3200 m/s. My question is actually rather simple: Is it possible for me to slow down enough to land, and if so how can I slow down? My resources are as follows: - 1 atomic rocket motor - 4 electric propulsion engines - 2 Mk2 radial parchutes and 1 top parachute - 2155 Xenon Gas - 470 liquid fuel - 1 poor Kerbal who might be stuck in orbit for the rest of her life This is my craft:
