Jool / Laythe rescue challenge.


Recommended Posts

It seems Jeb Kerbal has goten sick on Laythe and we need to send out a rescue mission since they don't have the resouces to threat Jeb on Laythe. They have a return craft. But it will not be fuled and ready to return before it will be to late for Jeb. So we need you to build a mission to Laythe and return in as little time as possible. We will spare no exspence in this mission.

The crew on laythe have the resources to get Jeb up into orbit of laythe and bring that craft back down again to carry the rest of the crew home. But this will eat into the safety resources for their own transfer home. So if you can bring a lander to pick Jeb up on the surface that would be best. That would have to be a unmanned craft with space for Jeb. Or a manned craft. The craft that you send to laythe from kerbin needs to have room for a pilot and a physician in adition to the empty seat for Jeb. As he is ill we would prefer that he and the physician had a hitchhiker container for their use witch could be used as a sickbay for the journey.

Challenge rules:

Mechjeb allowed. FAR allowed. Seperate scoring category for Deadly reentry.

Stock parts.

The rescue craft needs to be the first launch. You can send as many launches in adition to this as you want. But they will be launched just after the rescue craft or later. So if you ship extra fuel for the return trip. You will ned to send that with the same speed as the main craft.

The rescue transport craft neds to have a hitchiker container and a cockpit module. The rest up to the constructor.

2 kerbals minimum for the trip(doc and pilot).

Get to Laythe and get into an orbit around Laythe then get back to Kerbin as soon as possible.

No infinite fuel.

Scoring:

The shortest mission time wins.

Bringing an unmanned lander and landing and launching back into orbit from laythe and you can subtract 100 days from the total mission time.

Manned lander and you can substract 200 days.

Any extra kerbals over the minimum 2. substract 10 days per kerbal. External seating not allowed.

Good luck and have a speedy flight to Jool.

Suggestions for alterations of the rules, allowed or disallowed alternate mods will be considered.
