Challenge - To Duna and back. Twice.

[Belerafon]

The film the Martian really inspired me on missions to mars in RSS. Vogel said that they were the first to go to mars twice, so I tried to do that. I sent Jeb, Bob, and Val on a 16 - Year misison. I want to challenge you guys to do that as well. Try not to kill any Kerbals. You will be disqualified for explosions. (No kidding)

 

RULES:

1. Fuel

You can use kerbodyne tanks and kerbodyne tanks only. You are allowed 3 large tanks at the most.

You are allowed as much RCS as you want. (use sparingly)

 

2. Ship design

You ship must be launched in 10 separate components. You must assemble them in low kerbin orbit, below 100K. You must use an SSTO to get your crew to the ship.

 

3. Engines (are overrated)

You must not use LV-N atomic engines. For scientific reasons.

You may not use any Rockomax engines. 

You may use only the following engines: LVT30, LVT45, KR2L, Mammoth, Vector, and all of the 0.25m engines that i'm too lazy to list.

 

4. Cheats

No dirty fn+f12 cheating!

 

5. Mods and plugins

None allowed, except for the Tantares mod. You may not use any Tantares engines, except for the LVT15, and the LARJ thruster.

Tantares storage compartments, crew blocks, etc. are banned, except for the solar arrays.

 

6. Trajectory and mission goals

You must get to Duna and back to Kerbin twice, without mining, or using ISRUs. Ore tanks are not permitted, and ISRUs, and all their crap is not permitted either.

 

7. Maneuvers

Gravity assists are limited. You get only 1 gravity assist from eve. none else. (too bad if you screw it up)

 

8. Misc.

Have fun, keep the kerbals happy, and don't blow anything up.
