The Gliding Challenge

[Neil Kermstrong]

Before I begin, this is my first challenge, so better not expect anything big

In this challenge, your main objective will be build a glider capable of landing safely without the use of propulsion.

Objectives: 

1. Build a vehicle capable of gliding without any engines/RCS. Both manned and unmanned are allowed.

2. Take it to planet with atmosphere (Exception for easy difficulty)

3. Land it.

(OPTIONAL) 4. Take the crew of the rocket that carried the crew back to kerbin safely

Difficulties:

Easy:

Sandbox mode.

No reentry temperature.

You can drop the glider anywhere, as long as its in the air.

And you can land anywhere. (But kerbin, of course)

 

Hard:

Science mode

The actual rocket must be manned and the crew must return safely to Kerbin.

Drop the glider above the planet's atmosphere.

Reentry temperature enabled

Land on either Duna, Eve or Laythe.

 

Pretty Hard:

Career Mode.

Drop the glider above the planet's atmosphere

Land on either Eve or Laythe. (Eve gets more respects though)

Reentry Temperature Enabled

The actual rocket must be manned and the crew must return safely to Kerbin.

 

Jebediah Da Vinci:

Career Mode

Land on either Eve or Laythe (Eve gets more respects though)

Drop the glider above the planet's atmosphere

Reentry Temperature enabled

Use either an SSTO or a Space Shuttle to drop the glider, return the vessel to Kerbin and land it on the runway.

 

 

Rules:

1. Mods are allowed, but not any kind of overpowered mod parts or modified stock parts. Also send me the link of any part/planet mod you used for me to check it.

 

2. Must be the stock Solar System, but Kopernicus mods such like SVT or Kopernicus Expansion are allowed, as long as they don't change anything about the planet's orbit/gravitational status, or change the planet's mass.

3. It must be your own craft.

4. The rover must land by itself, with no propulsion or external help.

5. Do not use cheats like Hyperedit or the in-game cheats.

6. You must land on land.

7. The glider must also function as a rover, it should generate energy by itself and have motorized wheels.

8. Have fun!

 

I got to sleep now and couldn't really work on this challenge, but maybe tomorrow I put a score system for it.

Good luck and fly good!
