Career mode Mun

[Axons]

I have being playing KSP in career mode for a while, and although I can successfully get a rocket into orbit I still cant get it into the Mun's orbit or even out of Kerbins orbit, is there any advice I could get to help me reach the stars?

All advice is greatly appreciated

Thanks

This is a walkthrough I made using an example sandbox rocket. The steps should be pretty much the same in career. As for a career ship to fly it with, the third one in this post should get the job done.

What I used for my initial mun landing in my 0.24 campaign save:

(pros: fairly cheap and only requires 20 science. Cons: No additional science payload, limited battery power, somewhat marginal ÃŽâ€V)

While these designs technically predate the campaign, they would also work:

...though I suppose they should be updated to carry goo pods and material bays.

There are more efficient and elegant ways to do this, but for a simple version that works:

A big enough booster to get into orbit + a high efficiency rocket (LV909, LV-N, Poodle) with enough extra fuel for a couple thousand m/s of Delta-V. Get into a 100x100 equatorial orbit, wait for the Mun to appear on Kerbin's horizon, burn prograde until you get an intercept.

Send an unmanned probe first (with solar panels or a lot of batteries) if Kerbal fatalities bother you. You'll almost certainly mess it up the first few times; all part of the fun.

Please...play the ingame tutorial.

Ship designed to fulfill the Mun, Minmus Explore contract. it contains a Too Hot Thermometer.

This variation will go to Duna and Eve to fulfill those contracts.

This will give you plenty of fuel to land and return from Mun with Jeb. (Two Goo capsules can be safely added to the pod for extra science.)

Thanks, to everyone who responded!
