Re-Useable Minmus Outpost! (Pic Heavy)


Recommended Posts

I undertook a contract to land an "outpost" on Minmus.

Despite the considerable payload, the Kerbooster Medium was able to handle the launch.

The fly-back booster was able to perform the departure burn, with enough fuel to spare to return to Kerbin.

The outpost is designed to be mobile, allowing it to visit many ground waypoints for very little fuel expenditure.

Frictionless wheels, careful route planning. Rocket roving is a financially viable way to visit numerous surface waypoints.

It can even explore underground?!!!!

One of the benefits of a mobile "outpost" is that it can be used to provide experience for large crews.

Very large distances can be covered, provided that the terrain isn't too mountainous.
