Mun, Minmus and Return Challenge

[gamerdood1987]

Ok if this is an already done challenge then my bad.  I just pulled this off and I want to see if others have done it and if so Id like to see pics/video of mission.

Ok first rule is NO quickloading...one playthrough from start to finish  (if you die on re-entry or die on splash down then it's still a fail). You are to take off, create a perfect orbit at 100km. Go to Mun, land on Mun and place the flag and gather the sample. Take off from Mun, then fly to Minmus without returning to Kerbin (from Mun SOI to Minmus SOI, no circuralizing around Kerbin first). Land on Minmus, plant the flag and gather the sample. Take off and return to Kerbin. But here is the kicker, return to the orignal orbit (100km perfect orbit). Then splashdown just off the coast of the launch pad.

Also, I made each orbit before landing with an inclination of 0, and lowered the perfect orbits to 25km (Mun and Minmus).

Remember NO quickloads, must be one playthrough.

Any takers?

I never quick load. Also I don't know if he quick loaded, but @Parkaboy did this (which is also known as the kerbin 3 challenge) a bunch of times. In the sterling mk1 and yonder mk1. And @Kuzzter did it in the quad hammer. (was it the quad hammer? You changed the name a bunch)

i made a challenge exactly kinda like this a while ago, its called moon hopping

I did something similar, but a little more crazy in the challenge Space Station of Coolness yesterday which involved a trip from Kerbin to Duna orbit then Minmus orbit, Mun orbit again, Kerbin orbit, Minmus orbit again and finally Kerbin orbit, to rendezvous with a ship that was in low orbit for a completely different challenge. Then finally re-entry to Kerbin (had quite a bit of fuel spare too).

This did involve a handful of quickloads, but only for the sake of convenience (messing up short burns which while distracted by taking screenshots) rather than anything terminal, so I don't think that this challenge sounds too difficult.

This does have a couple of landings, but given that they're on Mun and Minmus they wouldn't be a biggie .

How about adding landings at all anomaly sites on Mun with a single vehicle, that would be more tricky and throw in some specific locations to aim for.

I saw your challenge nikyname and have it in my challenges bookmarks folder and hope to get around to taking a crack at it before 1.1 hits.

Hmmm...

Two landers docked?

cool, I look forward to seeing your attempt.

One question, how perfect does the 100km orbit have to be, within 1km, 100m, 1m?

Once I know the details on orbit accuracy, I plan on sending this up to take a crack at the challenge.
