After a successful Duna expedition I realized that without the lander the command ship had enough Δv for a brief visit to Ike to gather more of that sweet, sweet orbital science! Thanks to a helpful gravity assist from the Mun, the crew made it back to Kerbn with a whopping 9 Δv left. If they didn't get enough aerobraking on the first pass it would have been next stop; deep space...
***Just wanted to post something so I had to commit to contributing and documenting my terrible flights/explosions better!*** Managed to travel to Duna, Eve, Minmus, Ike, Mun, and Moho with this beast... Will reveal more once I organise the screenshots. :) Refuels with a station at 800km around Kerbin, and can extract resources once landed. Carries 4 types of probe, all fully functional and flyable in atmospheric and vacuum conditions. Has a decent relay. Will give more specs, but there's 3 types of engines; Lqd rocket engines, Methane, and Turbojet! Lots of action groups to switch modes/engines... Proper nighmare! :D
On it's way to a 100km parking orbit to await the lander craft to join it later. It'll be carrying 3 Kerbals, a science lab and an array of science experiments to conduct along the way. Next stop: Duna!
…wonders Bob, as he considers leaving Jeb behind for bringing the wrong experiment.
Nothing special, just a basic station with a fuel module and a couple of tugs docked.
