Really Tiny Mun vehicle

[CitizenAerospace]

Well it's not an amazing feat of engineering or anything, and for the rest of you veterans out there (I love rockets but it turns out I'm better at making them in real life than I am in KSP : P ) It's probably something you've built before I don't think is that amazing, but I kind of like it.

Basically, its a low-cost 10,000m/s probe built low in the tech tree. I still need the solar panels so it doesn't run out of electricity, but besides that this thing is pretty neat for it's size. 49 parts, 4 stages. First stage to go is 4 RT-10 boosters, then four sets of LV-909's hooked up with fuel lines to a middle 48-7S (Only just discovered how awesome this engine is). With a bit of modding and a bit of tweaking, I could probably get it up to 14,000m/s of DV.

And when you consider those batteries are massless (physics relevance set to zero in the part file by default), you can kind of guess why. But that thing would be perfect to take a sample container (AKA: kerbal) back to orbit at Eve with some tiny changes, if you put it on top of another rocket to get it there. You can clip a seat inside that probe ina way that the kerbal sits right inside, as if it was a really really tiny capsule. Good job!

Rune. What kind of RL rockets, if we can know about that?

hmm, nice part efficiency. I like your use of the 47, I tend to use those on mun landers (minmus is a joke, I usually use ion there). 10,000 m/s of delta v should easily get you to at least minmus

~Darth. Why dose Rune add random things after his name?

I fly low power rockets ATM, but I'm starting work on homemade propellant (Already started burn tests) with a home made engine called the RD-1. I'm hoping to use a future successor of the RD-1, the RD-4, to power a rocket to an apogee in space. Still trying to figure out the legal stuff of all this, I don't know exactly how friendly the Australian government is to this sort of stuff (That stuff being high powered rockets and hybrid rocket engines) Sorry, thats kind of all I can tell you at the moment

Thanks guys for the pointers on the probe, I'm working on a much longer ranged vehicle that should be about the same size length wise and should have 14,000m/s.

You could easily put more fuel on the radial boosters after the solid ones for more delta-v.
