This is all I have so far, no Kerbins, just a HAB unit.

I started with an orbiter and a robotic lander on the first mission and then sent an empty HAB unit on the second flight.

I'll probably send a cargo lander next and finally the Kerbins.

I have a small broken lander and a space jeep on Duna, both near the

Half-buried opportunity mast

I've been focusing all my effort on the Joolian system but most of the ships I have out there are stranded with no gas in crappy orbits. Luckily they all have erkle docking nodes and/or kethane pumps. if only I could get enough fuel out there without stranding another craft I could get my kethane miner going and jump-start a pretty large colony.

As you con see in my pictures I have tried many times

But with some success.....:wink:

I ran out of fuel there....

Note that this was a different ship than the one above... But also ran out of fuel, that's why I couldn't reach solid ground...

The base model for all these missions:

Note: it uses Mechjeb & carts :)

Some of them crashed, my recomendations: Don't build tall landers, Duna: Try to avoid inclined areas; Laythe FUEL FUEL FUEL......; Eve: the density of the atmosphere can break your ship when the parachutes open....

I've currently got about 9 separate ships in KLO awaiting Duna Transfer:

- 3 Communication Satellites

- 2 Surface Habitation Module

- 2 Surface Refuelling Stations

- 1 Duna to Orbit Vessel

- 1 Duna to Kerbin Interplanetary Vessel

I've already got 2 Rovers on the surface and a mapsat satellite at Duna

I've done what feels like hundreds of test flights for each module, multiple docking missions to refuel each module to make it to duna, and a ton of roving with my surface rovers already on duna to scount a good site to set up a base. This also happens to be the first time I try to land kerbals on another planet; I'm leaving nothing to chance.

Total of 9 Kerbals are going to live on the red planet for 2 years

Here's me practising landing one of the habitation modules on Kerbin:
