All Purpose Probe

[MaddPhish]

This little beauty was designed for 2 purposes. 1) Use Telemachus Telemetry to get me data about planets from orbit to surface. I like to play without looking up info on planets. 2)Practice aerobraking. The HOME 3m heatshield was an ideal base for this and made the overall design easy to stack atop each other with decouplers until you run out of payload. A pair of parachutes provide the possibility for this impactor to survive it's atmospheric dive and the large heatshield provides a good base for such a landing...as well as the illusion of the whole thing being it's own antennae with the extendable whip antennae.

Obviously requires HOME and Telemachus Telemetry. It possibly also needs KSPX parts expansion.

And here's the craft file. http://www./?flunpvp6cf2n5vn

Swapped the craft file with a part count optimized version utilizing FL-100 tanks instead of roundified
