[STOCK] My Mad 5200 Ton Duna Rocket


Recommended Posts

This is the largest rocket I've made to date and well, I thought I'd share how it went.

This started with me getting some missions for Duna and Ike, I had to:
Position a satellite around Ike.
Get Science from around Duna
Get 3000 Ore from Ike to Duna
Plant a flag on Duna
Rescue Henster Kerman from Ike orbit and bring him back to Kerbin

Now, I already have a station around Ike, and a Miner/convert+Fuel delivery craft on Ike, so all I really had to do was get to Ike in a craft that has enough fuel capacity to make it back to Kerbin.

So, I built this monstrosity.
 
At launch, it weighs about 5200 Tons, which falls to about 965 tons once it's in an 80+ Km Orbit.
At the top is the Ike satellite, sitting on top of the Lander/return craft, which in turn sits on top of the Duna lander/ore delivery. vehicle
All of which sits on the transfer boosters, which sits above the massive launch boosters.

*edit* The craft changes name under way because I realized that I had called it "Mars Mission" oops, but the entire trip is done in one take, hence why I made a workaround when an engine broke :)
