two moons, one ship

[that1guy]

Using stock parts use one lander to get to both Minimus and Mun... Safe return is

critical

optional but cooler

[Bluejayek]

By one lander, does that mean I can\'t jettison a stage on the mun and take off to go to minimus?

[that1guy]

what I mean is, you build ONE thing in the VAB or SPH (haha, yeah right) that gets to both moons, it may shed on either of them

[OtherDalfite]

Yep. Made it to both Minmus and the Mun, but sadly, my parachute failed me.

Taken seconds after the parachute popped off and right before they\'re doom.

rock out man... gj

[Vostok]

I made it to minimus, then the mun, but a lander leg broke of on the mun because it was my first rocket, and I had forgotten to add RCS... >.< Was my first time to minimus, and the mun [crash] landing was the icing on the cake

Good job on the challenge Dalfite.

[AlternNocturn]

Did it, and the Kerbals even lived to tell the tale.

Landed at Minmus.

Takeoff from Minmus

Landed at Mun. Note MET, this was during the same mission.

Takeoff from Mun.

Kerbin approach. Again, note MET.

Home! Total mission time 22 days, 6 hours, 44 minutes and 16 seconds.

[that1guy]

so far I like what I am seeing, keep it up

[Thobewill10]

Got into a Mun orbit, then went to minmus, then landed, then back to mun, landed, then to kerbin, and finally splashed down.

Aboard the Inter-Lunar I. Bill, Jeb and Bob are ready.

Launched into a 100K orbit, then transferred to the Mun.

Left the Munar orbit, and got into a Kerbin orbit,

Transfer to minmus

Captured

Deorbit with enough fuel to land anywhere on the surface.

Landed

Jettison legs and lift off

Back in a Kerbin orbit

Lower orbit and transfer to mun

Captured again.

Pick a landing site

Braking burn

Shoulda kept those legs, eh?

Departure

Deorbiting

In atmo

Stage sep and parachute deploy

Splashdown

20 days later, they\'re finally home.

The craft has enough fuel to select a landing site on both Minmus and the Mun. With better fuel management, one might be able to land back at the KSC, too.

NOTE: The craft lacks any form of ASAS. When landing, precision controls are a must. The core/transfer/Mun orbiting/minmus orbiting/ minmus landing/ mun transfer/ mun orbiting/ mun landing/ mun departure stage has an SAS though, near the CoG, to help hold position.

My nephew had challenged me to do this today, wish I had gotten some screenshots, but I honestly didn\'t think I could do it. Here\'s a picture of the ship I did it with.

The solar panels and module on the outside obviously aren\'t stock but they serve no actual function, just dead weight to make these engines look like satellites.

First leg had me going straight from Kerbin to Minmus. I shed the three outer engines (satellites) in Minmus orbit, landed then took off. Landed on The Mun, and took off again. That was the end of my two full size tanks. I then collapsed my orbit and made a powered landing back on Kerbin safely with the smaller tank.

[sss]

Wow, this is too easy. while trying to get to minimus i decided to land on the mun then go to minimus.

no pics sorry, but im not lying.

[that1guy]

sss, I believe you, antipolor, that is a beastly ship. is that the solar power mod?

okay, well I need to read better, still gj

RCS is for wimps. Recently I\'ve been doing all my landings on full manual mode without RCS, no ASAS. Mainly because the designs I\'m using don\'t have the payload capacity to carry the ASAS or RCS tanks...

Hey the description clearly says stock parts. there is a MechJeb autopilot unit strapped to the side of that rocket

Yeah, there is thx man, the Thobewill10 entry is DQ\'ed, I will still let the solar panels go tho, they do not assist in flight

[I got BCed]

I will say I can\'t do any better without mechjeb, but if you\'re going to cheat at least don\'t show the MJ GUI in your screenshots.

[Markus Reese]

I don\'t use RCS either for the actual landings. I prefer pure gyroscopic control.

[that1guy]

Duuude, blast from the past, I forgot about this, I have a secondary challenge too, orbit both moons with the T1G Gourami V

http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=14652.msg221387#msg221387

feel free to fiddle with the design using STOCK parts to make it have the power to get to the moons and back (note: back is entirely optional)

[OstermanA]

Damn, I practically forgot how to fly without MechJeb. At least I have plenty of spare delta-V. Will post pictures after the run.

[illectro]

Here\'s a simple ship - 2 stages, 9 parts - visits both moons and returns safely to kerbin.
