Post your probe carriers!

I'm going to attempt my first flight to Jool, and I'd like to take with me a probe to impact each of the moons. For science, of course. I'm still in the design/test phase, but I'd like to see how others tackled the problem. Have you ever built a rocket to carry impactors or landers to visit a planet and its moons in one mission?

Oh I just put this little Jool Mission together not too long ago...

My PC could not handle the extra probes, so I just took what I had...

Visited three out of five moons and took a dip in Jools atmosphere...

A previous mission using a fifth of the fuel made it to Duna and Ike before landing and refuelling at Dres.

I've got what I called the Science Spammer. Working in career mode in the lower tiers I made it for a trip to EVE. Got there with 4 probes each with a material bay 2 goos and pressure and temp sensors, oh and a small transmitter. I have to get going to work so Ill post it later when I get home.

Ok, I had a little more time than I thought here she is. The Science Spammer. 4 probes equipped with SCIENCE and the transfer stage. I know it could be a little more efficient but I liked the way it looked and wanted to see if it worked, ,and it did. After getting it to LKO with the launcher this made it to orbit around EVE where I released the probes and landed one in the ocean and the others in other places and proceeded to farm science points

With out atmospheres not sure if each probe could land on Jools moons but a little tweaking and they might.

Mine made back in 20. Carries alot of probes to things 8 ion orbiters 4 atmospheric probes and 4 lander probes

Saddly they are not made for science but you can make the probes for science

Heres how i set up the transfer stage

(Probecore)

(Big greytank)

(Nuclearocket) and then throw some power source on it
