Flight-testing the Bellerophon XI, and having fun on Ike

[Don Quixote]

Hi there guys,

I thought I'd show you some screenshots from my latest mission. The goal was to thoroughly check the Bellerophon XI spacecraft, as well as a new lander with a refuelable rover and other extras. Since the 2nd unmanned flight of the vehicle ended in only a few explosions, the engineers at KSC decided it should be "pretty safe" to send some Kerbals on a trip to Ike.

Background: Before 0.22, nearly all of my designs were "unified" spacecraft that could land and lift off without any stages, resulting in the Bellerophon X, a 7-Kerbal-craft that was able to land and take off from anything up to (and including) Laythe. However, after the update (and installing FAR and Deadly reentry) I wanted to go after a more conventional approach, i.e. "Apollo on steroids" as seen above.

Thanks for reading!
