The Xeon (Capable of traveling to Minmus)

[Schweehog]

This is the Xeon! This is what I used to land on the moon and drop bob off at Minmus. Some things that should be noted: 1# landing legs ARE optional 2# During your "entering orbit" phase, it's a good idea to burn 90 degrees with the large rockets but it's optional (save fuel). 3# After flying, you might notice that it's pretty slow getting into orbit. That is 100% true, but it uses a very efficient engine so you don't waist fuel. 4# Make sure to start your apoapsis burn before you get there, it is a VERY slow engine.

THERE ISN'T A PARACHUTE BY DEFAULT

Things I accomplished with this craft:

1.) Muner orbit (perfect)

2.) Keosynchronous orbit

3.) Minmus orbit (perfect but on an odd angle, oh well )

4.) Mun landing (my second ever)

With this model, once I got to know it, I never failed an orbit and have had a successful mission every time it went up in the sky!

Keosynchronous orbit (trust me it is)
