Inigma's KSP Wiki Campaign: Kerbollo Program

[inigma]

My first Apollo-style design. It's able to carry three science instruments, and a two-Kerbal rover. Let me know what you think!

Under 244 parts, the whole mission can be played debris-free.

It's pretty easy to fly. Nothing special. Except if you want debris-free you will have to jettison your tower as soon as you are on your last orange tank, and don't burn all the fuel in the tank, just get suborbital long enough to do your CSM sep and LEM docking and stage ejection prior to your Trans Munar Injection burn.

At the launch pad, no instruments or rover:

At liftoff from launch pad, with instruments and rover:

Staging:

CSM Separation:

Deorbiting stage:

Transferring crew:

Landing:

Science Instruments:

Rover:

Return Docking:

Command Module Jettison:

Kerbin Landing:

No special instructions. No special bindings, except 1 for CSM solar panels. Lights and Gear all controlled by default game control bindings. Let me know what you guys think, or if you have any suggestions. Enjoy!

I have to say, that this is probably one of the best Apollo/Mun landers I have seen in Kerbal space program.

Thanks for the ship mate.

[inigma]

You're welcome! Let me know if you have ideas for improvement.

I really like the science experiments attached to the lander. MY Apollo-style lander, however, was a bit too heavy to have any room for deployable probes. It's weighed down with around 15,000 cosmetic structural panels and rover bodies.

That is really really cool! I really like the design of your Mun rocket. Awesome man!

...What happened with that jettison?

...What happened with that jettison?

The return jettison is spectacular due to the clipped parts involved. It rips the command pod free. I just forgot to keep sas on during the jettison, else the torque send your pod spinning. Dont worry though, if you jettison during descent then theres no debris.

[inigma]

Have any of you tested it? Is it good enough to upload to the Spaceport?

[BumpyRide]

Looks good.

As far as historical accuracy goes, it's a little off

Still flies great in .21.

[inigma]

Tested in .23 still works. Beautifully.
