Russian Doll SSTO Challenge!!!


Recommended Posts

Do you know the little Russian dolls that stack inside of each other ( Matryoshka dolls ). If not, look at a picture. Your job is to do this with ssto’s. You must get an ssto inside of an ssto inside of an ssto. And send it to Minmus.

The first ssto will take the other 2 into LKO. Then the next one will enter Minmus orbit. Then you release the last ssto, and land it. You’ll also want to get them back, unless you don’t want to. 

RULES

No mods that alter physics, add parts, or auto-fly. Visual mods are allowed, and ones that read out information like Kerbal Engineer Redux, are allowed as well. 

No part clipping or any other physics breaking methods.

Breaking Ground and Making History are allowed, but make sure to say if you use them.

Make sure to post pictures to prove your success (and failures)! Good luck!

hint- try using mk0 in a mk2 in a mk3

EDIT- I guess the inner 2 ssto's are really spaceplanes, but you should get the idea.

But.. wouldn't that make 1 ssto 1 transfer stage spaceplane and one minmus ssto/return vehicle?

Yes, I guess the last 2 aren't reAlly ssto's. But I guess the general point is to make an ssto carrying 2 spaceplanes. I'll edit that now.

It is generally expected that the OP of a challenge complete the challenge themselves in order to demonstrate that it's possible.

It is definitely possible, I have done it before. I'm not posting the pictures or craft files, so that anyone who wants to try this can be original with there design. I look forward to seeing your submission soon!

So basically you want us to put an SSTO in orbit carrying a spaceplane which should get to Minmus ? What if the first craft is able to directly land on Minmus ? :p

The second craft should stop at minmus orbit, regardless of fuel levels. Then, it will release another one to land on minmus, then return tho that one. Then both will return to the one parked in LKO and all of them will return together.
