[SHOWCASE] Bring out your LANDERS!!

[astropapi1]

Gotcha covered, inigma:

Sadly, this version had a fuel flow problem, so I had to transfer fuel from the ascent stage into the descent stage, and go up with it. It got fixed later:

And an extra pic from the same flight. 4 minutes until periapsis:

Second -working- version of the lander (with better pics).

Dean Kerman loved his lonely 25-hour trip to the Arch.

Long term mining platform

[merlinux]

Here is my current Duna lander,

It has 2 Nuclear engines for orbital operations and 4 torpidal engines for when thrust is needed. I love it as I am able to get to most high latitude places even when my orbiter is on an equatorial orbit and it also has a rover The rover pictured here is the old model and I since have one which is much more stable hum hum... Only mode used is KAS, so I can just winch the rover up instead of playing for 10 min with the docking port...

.

And also my Laythe lander which doesn't have a rover however I love it because it is the culmination of my last few weeks playing with jet engines/SSTO/spaceplanes... This thing achieve kerbin 's orbit no worries, with some fuel left. 4turbojets and 2 torpidal engines....

It takes off pretty much like a rocket, with a gravity turn started a little earlier.

My current project for the Vulcan Mk III

Its still in early development, but that is the ascent stage. Total mass of 2.5, includes RCS jets, 50 units of MP, fits two kerbals, and enough ÃŽâ€V to get back from the Munar surface.

One of the strangest contraptions I've ever seen and surprisingly genius.

[SuperWeegee4000]

I built the Minapollo 1. Here's a link. It includes a craft file. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/51513-BluPlanet-Incorporated-SuperWeegee4000-Subsidiary-Division?p=676821#post676821

Still my favourite lander I think...

Just wait until you release your "mini" Munar Lander, only then will it then be your favorite. Or at least everyone else's anyway.

My Distant Horizons Munar lander. It carries 6 satellites for scientific research and to provide complete comms coverage for the lander, and a large solar powered rover for surface navigation [click the pic to go to the thread]:

Crew: 1

Start weight: 200 tonn

5 stages (4-branch asparagus style)

Can get to 100x100 orbit around Eve from elevation about 3500 m.

Wow, that has to be the tidiest looking Eve land-and-return craft that I've seen.

Thank you Rectangular design is caused by intention to minimize struts count.

If you interest, I have uploaded .craft files to spaceport and posted this lander into Spacecraft exchange here.

[inigma]

Ok you all have inspired me. I finally built and landed and returned my first one man, cute, minimalistic, Minmus lander. The lander has a TWR greater than 1.0 even on Kerbin! I might even take this to the Mun:

[Woopert]

That is a really nice, cute craft there.

[Le_Jebidiah]

Well Heres is My Small Minmus Base With Lander The Lander IS Capable of Landing on Kerbin I just Forgot an Parachute because i honestly thought it didn't Have enough Fuel But it did! Amazing right? Capable of 1 Kerbal Only And has Solar Pannels to Charge itself

Picture:

Behind the Picture There is An Actual Base but This is a Lander thread So Yea.

This is my MilesMiner that is part of a project to refuel interplanetary ships from Minmus. It can reach orbit then land again. I also like the idea of having something that can move and take off.Its also technically a kethane mining refinery. The engines are attached to hinges from infernal robotics mod. So they aim downwards for takeoff and landings, then come upwards to allow the wheels to move the vehicle. Can also be used to accelerate to dangerous speeds on the ground.

[Mister Kerman]

Here's my Lunar Module Modeled after the Apollo program's Lunar Modules.

Here it is attached to my replica of the Apollo program's Command/Service Module.

Together they become: Kerpollo 1!!!

[Darthzeus]

Well, I'll go digging through screenshots, I have two ones I've been using in my .24 career, newly developed (I don't do interplanetary missions outside of career)

EDIT: Here's the first one:

Rock'in the old oversized O-10s

Other one's an ion VTOL used on a minmus mission, inspired by Cupcake...s Moth, also designed for science.
