Malika - 2-section interplanetary ship

[Neotician]

I wanted to make an interplanetary ship more compact than my usual wobbly juggernauts, and thus i came up with the Malika!

She's weighs in at barely 71 Tons and has around 7430 m/s of deltaV using the main engine, and just short of 1900 m/s of deltaV in the Lander.

It's equipped with coms and solar panels, and the lander is equipped with a ladder going to the pod, plus 4 ladders each going to the parachutes, so the crew is able to repack them.

So far i've taken it into a polar orbit of- and landed on Duna with it, alas that was an earlier revision which only had the top parachute on the lander, and i had to slow down to about 150m/s using engine power to avoid ppod being torn off, so i didn't have enough fuel to achieve orbit.

The Malika can make it into a 45km Duna orbit from kerbin using less than half it's fuel.

Sorry about the image size, the forum doesn't seem to allow me to re-size and i didn't think about it before uploading.

Looks nice.

Can you make a version without excess weight?(the ascetic parts)

Here you go, Removed any part not required for function, shaved off about 6 tons.
