Ships for Dres and further

[Billyk88]

Hi everyone i would like to see everyones designs for ships that can go to Dres and further land do science and return. That doest take 6 hrs to get to their destination please. Stock only. No mods. 

Thank You.

I don't know what you mean by the 6 hour part but Bohemias are built to make round trips top any body.

Even though the gals look scared, this flight will easily get them all three down on Dres and back. The mission is still in progress, so I don't have many images just now.

Just a quick peek inside the fairing to see the actual lander. It has all science instruments available in the Kraken Bay:

 

Visiting Dres is always a good idea! When planning a trip, think of Dres and launch!

Using just stock parts (but lots of other mods) I went to all planets and moons with land-and-return missions back in 0.25. I've considered doing it again. My current (though on-hold due to Fallout 4) series is doing similar, but in the New Horizons system.

Anyway, here are a few of my videos. You may need to trade dV for aerodynamics to get them into orbit, but once there I bet they'd mostly work still.

I for one loved 5th's series back in the day

Dres and further?  How about Niedon, the Neptune-analog in the Outer Planets Mod?  That's just about as far away as you can get.

It took this ship 26 years to get there from Kerbin with the crew of 3 frozen in Deep Freeze chamber.  It's pretty much all stock except the Deep Freeze, the associated USI-LS that made the Deep Freeze necessary, the 4 nuclear "lightbulb" engines from Atomic Age, and some DM Orbital Science instruments.  Seen on the left during the capture burn at Niedon, it still has 3 of its 5 big orange droptanks.  All this just to get a mobile lab and a 1-seat lander to Thatmo

EDIT:

The REAL time required to get anywhere far away depends of course on the distance and how high you can warp.  At the stock max of 100K warp, the 26-year trip to Niedon would take over 2 hours of real time to warp through.  Given that Dres, Jool, and Eeloo only take a couple of KSP years to reach, you can get there in just a few minutes at max warp.  But if you want to play with mod planets way, way out there, then you need another mod that lets you vastly increase time warp.  Then you can get even trips to Niedon complete in a few minutes.

I hate the new post editor. Apparently linked images are no longer a thing.
