A real challenge this one...

Land a craft on Minmus!

"Hang on, Fox. That doesn't seem so hard".

Ah, but the craft is a tad awkward...

This a complete mining and refuel facility plus refuelling tug. Aerodynamic it is not!

What you have to do is...

1. Launch it to a low stable Kerbin orbit

2. Transfer it to a low Minmus orbit

3. Separate the refueling platform and land it at an ore-rich spot on Minmus

4. Make a full tank of LF+O (you remembered to take a couple of engineers, right?)

5. De-orbit the fuel tug and land it on the platform (you can land nearby first and hop onto the platform)

6. Engage the claw and fully refuel the tug

7. Return the tug to low Minmus orbit. 

A few rules...

1. You must use the provided craft unchanged, including not adding or removing fuel. 

2. No physics or part changing mods and no HyperEdit

3. You can use Mechjeb but you need to say that you did. Extra kudos for doing this challenge without MJ. 

4. Photo evidence or video required

There's no scoring but if you complete the challenge then you may include this coveted badge in your sig...

Have fun!

Well done! You have earned your pilot's cap.

How was the mission? Any problems or interesting events?

You Imgur album is a bit out of order but I think I made sense of it.

Sound fun. I will attempt this.

it was not that hard to be honest. the pad on top kinda deformed during launch. the launch was quite slow but i'm fine with that. i have to hop two times in order to get on the pad on minmus.
