I found something interesting, you can reverse your orbit on the Mun with only 386 m/s of delta-v (normal manoeuvre would be 1100 m/s)

Yeah, and it turns out you don't even need a symmetric design. By offsetting the capsule and taking into account the mass of the kerbal you can get a stable flight without too much trouble

Ok, this is the first part of my attempt! http://imgur.com/a/uAfwk

This is a very interesting mission idea! I'm looking forward to seeing the station after many iterations. I'm guessing we must use 1.0.5 for the moment, is that right?

Good to see that this challenge is back up I'm one flight away from completing this challenge, I'll be posting it soon.

I havent read all the 28 pages of this challenge, but I found a way to get EVA reports while flying high: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/obPuh7B.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/zcfhiAJ.png[/IMG] Next step: EVA from space all around Kerbin :)

Thanks for the reply. I'm about a third of the way through, I'm still looking for the last biomes of Kerbin before to go to space :)

I'll give this challenge a try. Can I use Science Alert?

Hi everyone, This was more of a personal challenge, since Eve was the last body I had returned from. The design is very simple and the execution was sloppy, but I got it anyways. So here it is:

I'm trying to make a massless recovery system to bring down a kerbal from orbit around Kerbin. Do you think this is possible? Or maybe a recovery system with only one wing?

I'm trying to do the lowest mass challenge. I carry the Mk1 pod all the way and back, but is it ok if I return to Kerbin on a seat?

I've been trying to make a simple Eve flyby return mission with the Multi-Flyby Maneuver Sequencer. In most cases, my trajectory goes through Eve. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

This is my entry in the CHEATING category. Using physicsless engines and structural parts, the ship weighs only 0.04 tons. Adding more engines would have given a better TWR, but the part count started to lag my computer. Notice that the screenshot was taken only 12 seconds after takeoff while using 5% thrust in the denser part of the atmosphere. Of course, I used infinite fuel. So this is 9371 g's.

Tested a third time. Altitude for parachutes are calculated from sea level on Duna. I had 2 sets of parachutes. They deployed at exactly 5000 m and 4000 m altitude as configured. Savefile before aerocapture: (parachutes set at 1000 m) https://www.dropbox.com/s/wr6xnjrgnz6foi1/quicksave.sfs?dl=0
