How to land a rover on Duna and/or Mun?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys basically I want to know how you get your rovers to the surface? Sky-crane, Lander? I have only ever once got a rover down on to the mun and you'll see how hilarious it was. My early method was to strap it upside down via a decoupler to the top of a lander, then when landed tip the ship over and decouple the rover hahaha... So Obviously I need better methods! Plus I would also like to put a rover down on Duna, is it the same concept as the mun? or would it need parachutes?

You can use parachutes on Duna,Just make sure you use several of them because the Duna atmosphere is thinner.As for the Mun,I took a Mun lander I made earlier,Built a small rover the size of a 4x4 Plate, and strapped it to the side with a decoupler so I could detach it when I got there.Just make sure You put the brakes on the rover first, I learned that the hard way because it rolled 3.5 km away before I caught it.Otherwise,I liked your method I saw in the vid,Much better than I could do:)
