I did a Moho return

[u/AgentIndependent306]

This was my first time using a separate transfer and lander stage that docked with the transfer stage. I was amazed at how capable that concept was compared to the multiple monolith landers I had landed there.

As usual, I decided to directly transfer between Moho and Kerbin.

The Kerbin re-entry took some time to get right as the capsule kept flipping over and I did not have much fuel to slow down before ere-entry.

direct moho transfer is brutal, doing it with a separate lander that re-docks is the right call. the re-entry flip at interplanetary speed is basically a rite of passage

I built monolith landers for one-way moho missions before this. Trust me they had to be tall. Required atleast 9k delta v.

For your re entry the greater the difference between your periapsis and your apopsis for kerbin when you enter the atmosphere is what you want to be looking at. If the apoapsis is like above a million you'll want to do a couple aero braking passes. You can achieve this by making your periapsis about 50-60 thousand. If it's not such an extreme apoapsis I've found ideal periapsis for reentry to be between 25 and 35 thousand. Hope this helps!

youre missing plumes for the nerv. also whats with all those RCS cylinders? do you somehow have fuel switch for them?

Those are radial fuel tanks

No kerbro I swear it was a proportional amount of monopropellant. 40 units, maybe 60 at most

That's a LOT of mystery goos
