This is a one-ship science explorer for Duna.

It has five manned science 'bombs' onboard. One for each of Duna's biomes.

The idea is to fly the ship to Duna, bomb the planet with the five landers, collect lots of juicy science from the experiments and return it to Kerbin.

There's actually two ways to finish the mission, depending on how you'd like to do it:

1. Once the science is done on the surface, take the science from the experiments and put in the capsule, fly back to orbit, rendezvous with the main craft, EVA, take the science from capsule, jet across to and board the main ship. Repeat for the landers at the other four biomes. Fly the main craft back to Kerbin and land top section. Or...

2. Repack the 'chutes on the surface, take the science from the experiments and put in the capsule, fly the lander back to Kerbin and land there. Repeat for the other four landers. There's enough dV in each lander to do this with a little aerobraking at Kerbin.

So this is what Elon Musk meant by "bombing the poles"
