Where could this mothership get me?


Recommended Posts

Just curious, assembled this hunk of junk in LKO for my first interplanetary mission and I wanna know. With these stats, where could this thing potentially travel to with enough fuel there and back with adjustments along the way? I plan on lugging along a lander for Duna, Ike and two probes to do some preliminary surface scanning as well as a Duna rover. So...

1. Could it complete my Duna/Ike mission with fuel to spare?

2. If I fully refueled it, where else could this makeshift load of metal take me?

Assuming you put a halfway decent effort into using transfer windows and Oberth maneuvers, this should get you anywhere you want, even with the current fuel supply. You may well have overdesigned it ;)

Better overdesigning than underdesigning! I'll definitely reuse this for further interplanetary missions. Thanks a lot :D
