Joshua0514 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 https://imgur.com/a/WiDrCfC Still can't post photo's for some reason. Landed on Vall, not sure if i can get back. I do have the funds to build a rescue mission if needed, the orginal plan is to areobrake at Kerbin by the heatshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua0514 Posted September 1 Author Share Posted September 1 I do have an engineer on board. So, I can detach parts of the landing leg and fuel tanks when in orbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modus Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 You can always check a delta V map, like the one here: 2300 is pretty tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua0514 Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 Nevermind, I might get to Kerbin by aero-braking https://imgur.com/a/86kUuye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big fan of your missions, btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
