hi everyone! my recently developed interplanetary rocket had a rocket engine sticking out at the bottom, which i've swapped for a command pod without having to invent an entirely new rocket. I hope it's still inverted enough After six failed attempts i managed to go to Ike and back, and still had enough fuel left over to make a stop on the Mün. (and do lots of correction burns due to bad navigation skills) The three kerbals sit in the middle of the white inferno Now the command pod becomes visible Separation of the launch stage (lots of "seperator"-SRBs on launch stage)...looks scary, but worked surprisingly well every time Aerobraking around Duna (too little) Descent on Ike; The large fuel tanks can easily be separated one at a time, quite a nice feature on these inverted rockets Hatch wasn't obstructed by surface; i think i forgot to test this beforehand Aerobraking around Kerbin for a spontaneous Mun-landing (bit too much braking) (Note: I didn't get the phase angle right on my way back to Kerbin, so the kerbals had to wait a few orbits until Kerbin was sufficiently close again for "small" correctional burns, so that's why suddenly a few years have passed) Landed on Mün In Kerbin atmosphere..again Three happy kerbals back on Kerbin...my fourth return mission ever without casualties and my first successful interplanetary mission! Cheers Alex PS: I'm sorry i have no idea how many screenshots i should provide or in what size, please tell me if i should delete some of them or upload certain ones for verification (i.e. screens of maneuvers or similar)
