Sending a Lotus to Moho? ;-)

Colin Chapman’s maxim is as relevant to spacecraft as it is to sports cars, arguably even more so.

Besides, ol’ Musky lobbed his car at Mars so there’s precedent ;)

 

Edit: oh dear… you did exactly the opposite of what I said and now it’s more complicated, heavier and still misconfigured for Moho: atmosphere analysis experiment, deployed weather analyser, unnecessary solar panels (ironically I typed that before it sat in orbit for many days without power) but still potentially short of delta-V to even make orbit of Moho, never mind land and return.

New series- SeyMonsters Does EVAs Until He Knows Which Button Is Which.

The smaller 1.25m ISRU is a complete waste of time, it wastes almost all the ore fed into it whereas the larger one uses it all. I’d suggest redesigning that lander so the ISRU stuff could be dumped for the Tylo ascent and doing that one last, filling up on one of the other moons before attempting a Tylo landing because Tylo needs A LOT of delta-V.

Sometimes radiators have a bug where they effectively heat up by pulling heat from each other and overheat, which causes the other radiators to overheat and so on.

ISRU is overrated, just build a more modular system with a lander that can handle Vall, Bop and Pol and a booster to land on Tylo (1.875m using a Cheetah is good, or 2.5m with a Poodle but that’s heavier) then use an SSTO spaceplane for Laythe (I can send you some craft files..? :wink: or look at the Indefatigability Grand Tour mission report in my profile signature) and send the whole lot out to Jool in one go.
