Amazing work as always, Lime!

Are you going to build a launcher for it?

Repped! Good work.

[Lime]

Good idea i can try.

Atlas V testing here we have a experimental Atlas V 511.

Bad news the sampler arm is bigger than the biggest heat shield so it wont fit.

[Ferdoni]

seriously? the rocket with curiosity was launched in 2011, it landed half a year later in 2012. But the design is good enough

[Lime]

Changed

[WooDzor]

What is it still doing on Kerbin ;-) Cute little craft though. Why don't you use an antenna for the sample arm? Those things are great for poking rocks.

Thanks it dosen't fit in a heat shield

[Ferdoni]

Thanks it dosen't fit in a heat shield

The air densitiy on Duna is 0,4 atm so your rover won't heat up that much. Just deploy your parachute when entering the atmosphere and it wil unfold before your creation will blow up

[Majorjim!]

Have you flown this to Duna? Can we see the third stage (transfer stage)?

[Lime]

Maybe i can try to make it smaller because it dosen't fit in a heat shield. So currently there is no transfer stage.

Not even in the extra large one??? (3,75m)

[Lime]

Nope it dosen't fit

[Ferdoni]

Nope it dosen't fit

Then make it smaller, Curiosity wasn't that big anyway

[Majorjim!]

Yup, I think compared to the size of a kerbal Lime's is too big. Go smaller dude.

[Lime]

It's hard to make it smaller and also look like Curiosity.

Replace the rover body with girder parts, in that way it wil just look more like Curiosity more than yours does now

[Lime]

The current body part is based on curiosity.

[Yukon0009]

Only a wee bit oversized?

[pTrevTrevs]

Isn't Curiosity the size of a car? If so, then the rover body part is too small.

Not quite as big as a car, well a small one:

Look at this pic of my updated Curiosity rover and the scale next to a Kerbal. The scale is very close.

Look at the legs compared to the wheel size.

Why is there so many people that complain on the scale on every craft i make. It's pretty hard to make everything to scale.

I don't think anyone is complaining dude. Just giving advice/ideas for making better craft. I like what you make, and you will only get better. Keep it up man. We like your stuff we just want to help.
