Duna Rover - Skycrane delivery

[XoX]

I don't know why but until a few days ago I never really knew much about the curiosity rover. As I looked up some stuff I saw the amazing Sky Crane system. So I decided to try and do it in KSP. I am sure someone else has done it before but I thought I'd share my experience.

I started by building a sky crane, a rover underneath and decided to test it at the space center ( flying up, letting it drop and landing ).

To lower the rover I used KAS.

Next step was to build a rocket underneath. First the interplanetary stage using a nuclear engine and then a rather large lifter stage to get it into LKO.

This is the end product:

So from there I went to LKO:

Then a transfer to Duna:

Here we are:

Now to land:

Lower the lander:

And crash the crane at a safe distance:

Now to do some epic rover science

Anyways, that was my mission to Duna. First time I actually landed on another planet and I think I did quite well.

If you have questions or suggestions, go ahead.

P.S. It took me about 20 second to pull a Howard Wolowitz and crash the rover:
