Atlas III Duna Flyby Vehicle (or permanent lander if you want) for 0.20.2

Recommended Posts

I have made an awesome rocket capable of going to Duna!

It uses MechJeb 2.0 and KW rocketry parts pack.

Step 1: Use MechJeb to get the rocket into an 85km orbit.

Step 2: Burn prograde until your apoapsis reaches 1000km.

Step 3: Burn prograde at apoapsis to raise your periapsis to 1000km.

Step 4: Use MechJeb to transfer your rocket to Duna. (Or do it yourself if you know how)

Step 5: Once you are in Duna's SOI, create a node to lower the periapsis to 42km.

Step 6: Once you have flown by Duna and Ike, and are out of Duna's SOI, create a node to get on a return trajectory to Kerbin.

Step 7: Once you are in Kerbin's SOI, lower your periapsis to 5km. (Do this either manually or with MechJeb)

Step 8: Deploy your parachute.

Step 9: Once you land, get your Kerbal out and plant a flag.
