Big Kan Lander Mk 1 (Proof of Concept)....for me at least

[reschke]

I built this one tonight just to see if I could get it to land in one piece on the Mun. It worked. Unfortunately one of my KSP astronauts got stuck in the structural panel and either died or passed out because I couldn't get him to do anything. There is no launcher and it is just a basic starting point but it flies relatively well and has good stability and is relatively strong; it is a heavy sucker though. Anyway here is the craft file if anyone wants to have a go at making it better.

Mods were used in creating this lander:

KAS

Mechjeb (just in case it went tits up)

Novapunch (big heavy freaking struts)

B9 (spot lights and RCS ports)

Lazor (didn't finish the functionality)

Sorry about that it will have to wait till I can get home to run it around some more.

In orbit around Minimus....no it can not get there by itself. It needed some hyperedit help.

Almost down and dirty....got to figure out a better way to put it down without the wheels turning automatically.
