Very nice progression on the missions. Also great economy of parts - very low counts. Had my entry not been a classic BSG homage that requires big impressive ships I it would be a goal I'd go for. Hats off to you Sir (or Madame as it may be)!

Just a bit of an update, I'm currently working on getting the Odin 1, Vili 1, Thor 1, and Baldr 1 to Duna. They've completed aerocapture and I just need to adjust their orbits. I'll be doing the same for Eve once the launch window comes up.

Here's a preview of the two crafts (each carrying an orbiter and lander) just before aerocapture:

And the Odin 1 and Vili 1 over the northern polar ice cap:
