Is there a way to automate re-entry landing of unfocused/unactive craft?

I initially decided to post in game questions, but then I wasn't totally sure if it would also be modding, so, this is both a gameplay and modding general question.

Let me explain what I mean with an example, say you have a craft leaving minmus while having a craft leaving FOR minmus at the same time, so, they'll arrive at their destinations at approx the same time. So, my question is, is it possible to automate the reentry of a craft which isn't focused? Obviously you'd have to set up the craft first in order to reenter and land safely.

I know theres a mod called routine launch automation or something like that which automates launches, but what about the other direction?

You could take a look at StageRecovery. Perhaps that's what you're looking for.

I'll look into that one.

It doesn't actually automate, it just kind of "simulates" what would happen if it did. So the craft is still technically removed without landing, but you should receive everything as if you had recovered it from the surface (assuming it would have had the ability to land with parachutes). The only difference really is that you can't go focus on the craft after it "lands" so if you wanted to gather something at the landing site, that has to be done manually.
