Pangolin I Mission: Landing on the Mun and Returning to Kerbin [AAVL]

[Flixxbeatz]

The Mission:

Land on the Mun and return back to Kerbin. Pulled it out successfully without any bad landings in-between.

The Crew:

Bill Kerman and Bob Kerman. Two of the elite trio. Jebediah chose to chill out at the station anyway, and therefore was not drafted to the mission.

The Lander: Pangolin Manned Munar* Lander and Return Vehicle (MMLnR)

A heavy lander, crewed by 2 kerbals (3, if one wishes to remain on the destination for eternity). Divided into 2: Landing Module and Return Module. The LM has a cupola attached to it for landing maneuvers, and 4 engines for maximum braking power. Also wider to prevent the module from tipping on its side after landing. RM is much smaller, and carries the main command pod for return trip.

Extra Equipment: Tanker Vessel (TV)

Medium-sized resupply vehicle. 2 TVs were needed to top up the lander and continue with the mission.
