Mission to Moho

[Yukon0009]

So, I've only ever been to Moho twice, one was a flyby probe, the other was a single Kerbal return mission.

This time, I've decided to bring 3. And two small rovers to boot.

The ship also serves as the lander, and is asparagus staged with 3 nuclear engines, 2 of which can be jettisoned for higher efficiency on the return trip. Combined, with a transfer stage with 7k dV, should get me to Moho and back easily.

Launch weight- ~1300 tons

Crew- Original 3 (Jeb,Bill, Bob. Sorry, Val.)

 

 

The launch stage was unable to fully get it into orbit, had to give it a little kick from the transfer stage.

Trans-Moho burn.

Nothing can go wrong.

Nice! I see some Matt Lowne inspiration here. Don't worry man, I did it too.

Halfway out to Moho, the ship performs a trajectory correction burn.

Finally arriving at the hell-hole of a rock that is Moho. Bob is getting excited.

Slowly burning into Moho orbit.
