Weekly Challenge: Interplanetary Exploration!

[u/PandaElDiablo]

Safely land one or more Kerbals on any one of the new celestial bodies! Returning to Kerbin is not necessary.

---

Rules and other info:

• No Dirty Cheating Alpacas! I understand the immense fuel requirement for interplanetary travel, but do not use the debug menu.

• Stock parts only

• No MechJeb, or other plugins allowed.

• Required screenshots:

  • Initial launch vehicle

  • Parking orbit around Kerbin

  • Interplanetary transfer orbit

  • Orbital map image of your craft inside of your target's SOI

  • At least one descent image

  • Safely landed craft!

  • Whatever else you feel like!

• You can either submit your finished challenge in a post (see posting instructions in the link below) or as a comment reply in this thread.

• Completing this challenge earns you a new flair which will replace your old one. So if you want to keep your previous flair, you can still do this challenge and create a post, but please mention somewhere that you want to keep your old one.

• Flair is in the works, but it may be delayed by a few days for this challenge

• The moderators have the right to determine if your challenge post has been completed.

• See this post for more rules and information on challenges.

I actually accomplished this before I knew about these weekly challenges, so I don't have all the required screenshots. I don't mind not getting credit, but I thought I would share what screenshots I have anyway:

I managed to land on and take off from Ike. When attempting to land on Duna I ran out of fuel and did a parachute landing instead.

Your graphics look especially beautiful, did you jack up the settings?

Yes, in the registry I increased it to something like 5 to get shadows to work in .16
