Need advice for heavy duna lifter.


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I have this close to 40 ton monster of a heavy rover and I want to get it to Duna in one piece to compliment my new command center. I was hoping someone could help me design a heavy lift vehicle to get this thing all the way to Duna. Thanks guys. here are some images.

Maybe the Zenith can help you out. Even tho as far as I know they are more designed to reach LKO.

Although you might get an Idea which dimension your rocket will need :)

Do you have a refuel station in LKO? I heard that interplanetary transfers with huge payload are much easier if you can refuel in the orbit.

Hope that helps a little :)

Yup, a Nova should launch that anywhere. Maybe add a small uppers stage on top (about 10-20 tons). To put it all together, add a strut in the CoM on the rover. And lots of chutes to land it and a bit of an assist by the upper stage, probably.

Rune. To put it all together, you probably want the subassembly loader mod.

Thanks guys Ill check that out. Is there a mod that allows me to open two craft files and "mix" them so I can load up my rover and then insert a lift vehicle craft and just put them together and go from there?
