10 Kerbals Eve Mission

Recommended Posts

Game version 0.2.0

Use "Flight Plan" "K2-D2" and "Maneuver Node Controller" for assistance. Thank you modders!

 

Two-crew pod plus 8 seats:

>400 ton rocket to launch from Eve. Mix of T-1 and KS-25 engines.

(Cross-feeding configuration,  the delta-V calculation is inaccurate)

Heat shields on the bottom to protect the rocket during Eve entry; heat shields extending wider on the top to stabilize the orientation, preventing flipping during Eve entry.

>7000 ton ultra-heavy rocket to launch from Kerbin:

On low Kerbin orbit:

Eve fly-by. Should target for ~40km for air-brake:

It's fast, it's hot!

Slow down:

Landed!

(Landing legs are fragile now, ks-25 engine are better for touching down!)

Back to low Eve orbit:

Dock with a fuel tank vessel (launched separately) for re-fueling. Would have ~2400 dV to come back:

... Made a mistake:

The medium heat shield cannot protect the two-crew pod (although it is also the medium size). 

So made another docking at Kerbin orbit to bring a large heat shield:

landed!

Note that there are still some bugs

Sometimes, it can trigger the mission completion for the "Under Pressure". But sometimes, it wouldn't.

Save-load a lot and use teleport to get my vessel back to Kerbin to check the situation. It seems to me that this bug is pretty random.

I must say, for this kind of challenge, this kind of bugs are pretty annoying and depressing.

Really nice job. I managed an Eve mission in KSP1 (single Kerbal) and have built and tested a launcher for this mission, but can't get it down to the surface with the inflatable heatshields not working properly. Your build looks far more compact than mine.

Did you have to make your Kerbals walk on Eve to get the mission accomplished?  Because I just returned from Eve with 10 Kerbals and did not get mission accomplished. Wondering if it's because I did not put ladders on the vessel and have them walk on Eve a bit.

Imagine the force on those heat shields :D

Nice mission. I have yet to go to Eve. With all the things I've heard I dread going there.

How and when did the fuel tank vessel arrive?

I just completed this mission. I did not get any kerbals out of their chairs. Mission still completed.
