The Double-T Challenge!

[Souper]

Description

---

Ok. If this is a bad challenge, just let me know.

This, incase you didn't guess by the title, is a challenge involving Tylo.

---

The Challenge

---

You will attempts to land on Tylo twice with the same lander.

BUT you will land on both the day and night side.

---

Rules

1. You may use whichever fuel tank or engine you like.

2. If you have mods, epecially Kerbal Enigneer / mechjeb, uninstall them.

3. No mothership housing 2 landers!

---

The amount of fuel and oxidizer you have left will be divided by the amount of parts on your lander.

Lowest score wins.

So the lander with the least fuel remaining but the highest part count wins?

[Rakaydos]

Can the lander refuel at a mothership (or on a kethane deposit) between launches? Do you need to get all the way up to orbital velocity before landing the second time?

[Himynameisjake]

No one is going to uninstall their mods for you, they can complete the challenge without including the parts and get the same result. I also think you should be a little more specific about the flight parameters you are asking for.

May the lander refuel in orbit?

Must the lander reach orbit?

How do you define day side/night side? I could just shoot up high enough to have Tylo rotate under me 180 degrees.

You need to be much more specific about your challenge.

[Himynameisjake]

Also, you really should attempt your challenge yourself first. Read the rules.

[DaPatman]

Quick question - what's to stop me landing on the day side, waiting for night, then lifting a couple of metres off the ground before landing again?

Methinks you need to give your challenge some thought.

[Souper]

This was a mistake.

[Red Iron Crown]

This was a mistake.

I wouldn't say that. The core idea to land a lander twice on Tylo could be an interesting one, you should just refine the details a bit. I would suggest something like:

- Only one ship.

- No docking/refueling during mission. (Otherwise it's just two single Tylo landing/ascents with a rendezvous/docking in between.)

- Must reach orbit with some minimum periapsis between landings.

- One descent must be done in daylight, one descent in the dark.

- Mod and parts restrictions to your taste.

well ya could easily do it with a kethan mod, just refuel on the ground wait for night then launch........
