My Minmus Colonization effort

Recommended Posts

I would love to post pictures so if anyone has a site i could post them to that would be great. Anyway I have began to colonize Minmus and as I write have a ship with 2 probes and one person heading to Minmus. There are around 14 or so kerbals waiting for him on the surface and 3 in orbit. It would be awesome if I could share this with you guys because it is my first large scale effort towards a planet (or moon.) vLoGEDV.jpg Deimos coming in for his landing in a large flatish area leaving Mars alone and waiting for her landing at the colony.

Looks nice. Minmus is so much prettier than the Mun, even if it takes more dV to reach, and the gravity can be tricky sometimes.

I'm building a few settlements there myself, but am currently figuring out a re-fueling orbital station. In fact i'd suggest you try landing "pods" with a resuable skycrane. Fewer parts (engines n tanks mostly) are needed. And if you have wheeled pods, you can tow them with a heavier rover.

P9VLx6S.jpg The Ship Mars leaves on its Minmus encounter with its twin probes Phobos and Deimos. The lander will take the pilot to the colony and the probes will land at sites of interest.
