Precision Landing - Eve Edition

[PicoSpace]

So you are a pretty good pilot right? Orbit, transfers etc are a breeze?

Before Re-entry heat is added landing on Eve is not a challenge but I thought up one.

 

Land 3 separate landers on Eve (completely separate journeys) so that they are visually in view of eachother.
 

 Lander 1 - Power and Communication

Lander 2 - Habitat for 4 or more Kerbals

Lander 3 - Ascent Return Launcher (because we are eventually going to send the Kerbals home right?)

Rules/Limitations:
No wings on the landers, these are drop from orbit. That decent accuracy IS the challenge. Powered Landing is allowed though, but once you touch down, you are down.

Must be from an orbit inclination of at least 15°, the higher the better. And not land on the polar biomes nor the Equator.

Landing in a body of water does not count, dry land only.

Landers can’t be damaged (so no stage dropping either, everything that enters Eve’s atmosphere must safely land) and Kerbals should be able to get into the Habitat and Return Launcher from the ground.

 

Bonus Point(s):

Actually Launch the Craft from Eve and do a crew exchange in orbit and then drop a 4th lander (or whatever) back to the Base.

Land on top of a hill.

Land right on the shore.

Land beside something “interesting”.

Land (and dock?) one lander on top of another.
