Improving duna rocket?

[Ribby Kerman]

Hello everyone,

I have a rocket that can get me to duna and back and would like to ask everyone if you could help to improve it as it is a prototype.

Looks good to me. By the way, that's not how you format links.

Let me post the link here for you; http://i.imgur.com/6YIvMqA.gifv

Looks a bit excessive, but if money is no objet and it works, why not?

Ribby Kerman,

 A suggested improvement: It can be much smaller, cheaper, and more efficient than that.

^ Props to Foxster.

By way of demonstration, I knocked this example together using that technique to follow your mission profile (as best as I can tell from your pics).

I chopped out a lot of the excess DV but still left plenty of reserve. It weighs 428t at launch and costs $140k. In truth, it could be scaled down a lot further than that by employing more aerobraking and orbital rendezvous.

 

Best,

Definitely. Here's a dV map of the Kerbol system.

With 11.6 km/sec? You can go wherever you want, except low kerbol orbit.
