Interplanetary Crewed System Challenge

[Guest]

 

Our team is focusing now on Uncrewed landers now starting today. But we feel that we need new contracts to launch (These ) to other celestial bodies. We have built our own but we felt like it was too inefficient and small. We want new contracts

Rules of the challenge

• Must be able to fit in VAB***
• Cannot be an SSTO or Spaceplane
• Must be playable with no Mods*
• Must not have any crew control (Probe centered, we want this to work with no crew!)
• 6+  in spacecraft, No more than 12 (we don't want to have a ton)
• No EVA landings
• No payload spacecraft (Spacecraft that are inside of fairings)
• Must be capable of visiting anybody in the kerbol system**
