you need MJ to load it up but all stock otherwise.

Set you MJ to the numbers in the screenshot and it should launch to 100km like a dream.

then from there you are on your own! Happy flying!

Just launch it and watch it get to orbit with only a 6s or so circulization burn.

it should stay level but you can fine tune with Q and E if you are OCD like me.

press 5 to drop the last orange tank

disable crossfeed between lander and command ship.

dock and un-dock all couplings manually after. Dont touch your space bar after launch.

Contains a lander and enough fuel to get pretty much anyplace with the correct burns.

if you need a hotter burn, actiongroup 6 toggles the lander engines

action group 1 toggles the solar panels

action group 3 toggles the gimble on the final orange tank (the craft wobbles a little on final orbit burn but is solid once all orange tanks are gone)

i welcome advice on optimizing this thing. it is a bear of a machine. The tonnage is high as is the part count. Ive tested this rig 100's of times getting it correct

down to using RCS balance aid to get perfect rcs balancing on the command module and the lander separately so that docking is a breeze.

Post any other questions you have here.

MUN MINMUS AND DUNA area all good for return trips with this thing it can get to eeloo without a return trip. havent tested it on EVE yet.
