Need craft for Duna crew exchange

[fireblade274]

So im Kinda lazy and I thought id try this out; I'd like someone to make me a stock craft that can land at my Duna rover to recover 8 people that have been there for 50 years, and deliver 3 people to it to continue research.

You can build it, you have the technology. But I don't want to spend a lot of money..

It also needs to survive re-entry as my atmosphere re-entry effects are at 100%

Thank you in advance!

So this has to be for career mode? So you need a Kerbin launched rocket that can recover 8 kerbals and bring 3 back to kerbin?

I could built a basic Duna return in about 10 minutes but it will be made in sandbox.

Yes it is for my career mode; and yes I need to take at least 3 people on the trip as a replacement crew, and then take the 8 at the Duna rover back to Kerbin safely

Oh ok then mate. Good luck with this, I hope someone helps you.

I've got an SSTO that will do the trick, it will take ten kerbals to Duna and back... how good of a pilot are you? It's actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it, all you have to do is:

(1) Fly into orbit with the SSTO spaceplane carrier

(2) Detach the Reliant Starship and land on Minmus to refuel

(3) Fly to Duna and land at the desired location - it can also drive across the surface if you don't land close by

(4) Takeoff from Duna after swapping out crew and refueling

(5) Land on Ike to refuel and gain additional delta-v for the flight back to Kerbin

(6) Fly back to Kerbin and mate with the carrier spaceplane

(7) Re-enter

(8) Land at Kerbal Space port and get all your money back - simple as that

Thanks, I'm not sure if that's the sort of thing FireBlade was looking for but it will definitely do the job. It's capable of taking ten Kerbals to Duna (or pretty much anywhere else for that matter), and return them back to KSC. It's complex to fly but any time you're doing a return from Duna you're going to run into that.

I commented on that craft before, Mr Jolly Roger, and I still like it a lot. Nice work!
