Mission 3: done!

Also, how do I get the badges?

 

Congrats on completing Mun Lunex 3, First Class, @minerbat!

IIRC you get badges by right clicking on them, copying the image address, and pasting it into your signature.

For lunex 4, do I need to build the base in multiple launches or is 1 big launch ok?

Here is my Lunex 1 submission:

Here's my entry for Mun Lunex 1 and 2. I also had a small scientific outpost as extra cargo for the Shuttle challenge. Because of this outpost, this should also be a valid entry for Mun Lunex 3, but not first class.

Spoiler

The rover has a working rocker-bogie suspension using Breaking Ground parts. This method was developed by @vyznev.

@zanie420 Did you really just put a space shuttle on top of a rocket...?

Yes.... is there a problem with that? I needed the huge cargo bay and just recycled a previous shuttle I built in another save. I wanted to do challenge 4 in only one launch. I should have the video up later.

After quite a few Kraken strikes, I completed Lunex 1 and 2 in the same mission, in RSS.  No part mods were used, only informational mods.  I used ISRU on the Moon to get enough fuel to get back to Earth.

The rocket used to lift the craft into orbit was a massive, laggy monstrosity:

The launch took place at night, to align planes with the Moon:

Stage 2 ignition:

Stage 2 separation and Stage 3 ignition:

Stage 3 separation and Stage 4 ignition:

Finally, orbit is achieved:

When do more missions come? I will just be building a Millennium Falcon in the meantime...

Those big fuel tanks are from making history right? I only have breaking ground.

Which came in handy for you! I might just buy it myself. Would definitely be more useful on Duna where the gravity will play a much bigger part in deploying ground stations.

Here's my submission for the Mun Lunex 1 and 2 (both FC) challenges.

Wow, that's pretty amazing. Congrats on completing Lunex 1 FC and Lunex 2 FC, @Entropian! Would you like them counted as modded or unmodded?

Unmodded, if that's fine with you.  All of the parts I used were stock.

[KingDominoIII]

I'm now accepting images for the challenges! My craft design isn't the best, so submit an screenshot (no HUD) for a mission and I'll consider using it above the description.

 

[minerbat]

I will try to make some good looking pictures while doing the missions.

[KingDominoIII]

Are the Duna missions too hard? I thought they were a moderate level of challenge.

[sturmhauke]

I'm planning on doing them, but I have limited time. I'm launching Lunex 2 soon, just finished testing.

[minerbat]

I dont think so, I even think they are slightly too easy so I am adding my own challenge to them... the base for the third misstion will be able to house at least 100 kerbals... Also school has started again so I have much less time and I have also spent all my KSP time the last week building a millennium falcon with interior. But that one is done now so I am returning to the challenge now.

deploy a small satellite at 100km or below

At Duna or at Ike?
