Mun Landing [72 pics]

[Bacterius]

Hey fellow Kerbals,

here's an image album of a recent Mun landing I did. I went for realism so there are no big explosions in this one (maybe next time). I also wanted to document it properly so there are lots of pictures.

Mods used:

- KW Rocketry, for the reskinned fuel tanks and engines, as well as the fairing

- Mechjeb, for the orbital readouts and smart a.s.s when needed

- IonCross Crew Support, for life support, though it wasn't particularly relevant (so just mostly to add an oxygen tank to the lander for looks)

- IonHybridPack, just for the enlarged static solar panels (not the suntracking ones)

- Deadly Reentry (aerobraking damage and heat shields)

- B9, for the nifty protective cap part

Enjoy

Nice Mun landing. Bit of an unusual approach, that auxiliary ship thing.

Thanks! Yes, I figured since it takes so little dV to get to the Mun and back, I'd have the lander make the trip all on its own this time instead of the traditional CSM + lander approach. I probably have to thank the non-stock engines, though, with stock parts it would probably be a bit more difficult to design the lander to do everything (and less historically accurate).

Man, that was a very good Munar mission! Good job!
