Duna colony stuff

[Findthepin1]

I am planning a round-trip Kerballed journey to Duna. It'll be the next big mission I do. The ship is already mostly assembled (in orbit) but is so far unmanned, and I need ideas for what they should do once they are there. They will be there until the next Duna-Kerbin transfer window, so probably something like 500 days. I have no idea what to bring besides landers. Can you guys give me ideas for stuff to bring with me?

If you're not against mods, propeller-driven aircraft are pretty fun to fly

Bring a rover or two. They can be fun to drive on Duna's dunes. Also a drill ship so you can refuel and perhaps visit Duna's moon, Ike.

Dowload Pathfinder, KIS and KAS, you will have light inflatable bases that fit in a container!

Visit the few anomalies there, via plane or rover. Bring some flags to plant too.

Build a nice little base with fuel tanks and housing

I'd build the base on Ike, then from there do excursions to Duna itself. You can more easily land a mining rig on Ike and refuel ships there. I'd have some small rovers and things to go driving on Duna.

Ike Base it is. I'd rather stick with stock for this trip. What should I call the everything?

By the way, one of the goals of this trip is to retrieve the six kerbals unable to return to Kerbin, stuck without electricity in their hab in a valley near Duna's equator. They have electricity in their laboratory and they have a rover for one kerbal.
