This is the report on my 2nd entry to The Incredible Double Mun Double Kerbin Landing Challenge My first entry was a three man vehicle with lots of room for improvement and this time around I decided to go for a single seater, with Jeb at the controls. https://imgur.com/a/eqLY5 The order of events in this flight were. Placed Kerbin lander and Mun package (composed of Mun lander and transfer vehicle) in a 76km orbit around Kerbin Mun package detached then moved to higher orbit where a partially fueled tank module was dropped off for later use (wasn't needed in the end) Mun package sent to Mun orbit where the side tank modules where detached (one was about half fuel and used later) Mun lander detached and headed to the surface Flag planted and lander headed back to orbit Rendezvous with the transfer vehicle Headed back to Kerbin and used aerobraking and fuel burn to rendezvous with the Kerbin lander Separated the Mun lander and transfer vehicle, refuelled the transfer vehicle and docked the Mun lander with the Kerbin lander Descended to the surface Planted flag Headed back to orbit and rendezvous with the transfer vehicle Another trip to mun orbit Separated the lander and head to the surface Landed and planted flag number 3 Headed back to orbit and rendezvous with the fuel tank dropped off in orbit on the first trip to Mun After refueling the lander it burned for home Re-entry and landing Planted 4th flag Apart from losing one of the landing legs on the Kerbin lander when one of the side motors that I'd detached from it just before landing, gently drifted down an a chuts next to the vehicle then exploded, there flight when without a hitch and with a fair amount of fuel to spare.
