Need Help With Eeloo

[The Jedi Master]

Hey, I'm going to Eeloo for my YouTube channel, and I could use some help. If anyone can give me all the advice they can give, it would be great! Thanks!

What part are you having difficulty with? Eeloo is essentially the same deal as every other planet/body except for dV requirements.

Well, the DV requirements are kind of the whole trick, aren't they? I'm not good with big math like that.

You'll want somewhere around 8km/s for a round trip; that includes transfer, braking, return transfer, and braking. Lander/operations budget not included, just the trip. You can pack along less if you aerobrake at Kerbin on the way back but I would still suggest 6~7km/s even in that case. 4km/s minimum for a one-way trip, I'd pack an extra 0.5km/s just to be safe, but it really depends on your launch window.

What do you want to bring to Eeloo and do you want to bring it back to Kerbin?

A single kerbal, no return.

LOL, poor guy.

That should be easy. Just make a LV-N tug with detachable tanks, axially and radially. 3-fold symmetry for tanks, 3-fold symmetry for three LV-N engines between. Small lander with 48-7S or 24-77 engines on top and there you go. You can even use the tug, now a lot smaller and spent, during the early stages of the landing, and watch it crash down below after it's detached.

I've been to Eeloo once, in career mode. Definatley get the launch window right, or else getting there will be very unforgiving. I think i went from low kerbin orbit to there with about 8000 delta-v, with a little left when i landed (about 500). Also, it's very creepy but cool there. No surface scatter, no rocks, just bare white ground, and the sun is a speck. Use nukes once in space.
