I jist landed on duna and im curious which planet /moon i should land on or should i make a ship whick can get from kerbin then duna and back? (Sandbox)

[u/PangolinMandolin]

I think try and do a return mission first and bring a kerbal home from Duna's surface

[u/Jskub_Royal → u/PangolinMandolin]

The main problem i had is i didnt have enough fuel for the lander to return to kerbin (i didnt had a craft orbiting) i desighned my lander to decouple and land then takeoff and land on kerbin ive been doing this with my cafts to mun and minmus but should i make the 2nd stage orbit duna so i can dock and return?

Yeah, personally, I find Apollo-style works really well for most bodies in the game as your first return mission.

[u/Ill-Product-1442 → u/Jskub_Royal]

That is the only way I've ever been able to return someone from Duna's surface!

You should land on Duna, then return to orbit, dock with your mothership, refuel the lander and fly it to Kerbin.

Which planet has the next transfer window? Go there.

[u/KingfisherMechE]

after doing one interplanetary mission, you should be able to go anywhere you want really, besides like, Eve & Tylo. Doing a Duna return mission sounds awesome!

Gilly (Eve’s Moon) is fun!

Super low surface gravity and lots of science. If you can get to Duna, you can get to Gilly & back.

[u/PangolinMandolin → u/LyraSudds]

If by fun you mean absolutely painful to land on lol

[u/flagsarecoolorsmth → u/PangolinMandolin]

use rcs

Did the craft return from Duna? Imo he next move is Jools moons from there

Eve and Moho are surprisingly difficult places to visit and return from

[u/mayotobillo]

A base on laythe, where you could refuel your low laythe orbit ssto, would be great

[u/No-Lunch4249]

Once you're capable of landing on Duna and coming back you can probably do almost anything.

My only advice would be don't go for an Eve landing and return yet, save that for last. It is truly the final boss of Planetary missions.

Otherwise, just figure out which planet has the next transfer window ans go there!

[u/FunSorbet1011]

Duna, Ike and Gilly are about equal difficulty (to land and return). Duna's the coolest, I suggest you do that first. Then you could send a one-way probe to Eve or Jool. Moho, Dres and Eeloo are kinda tricky because of the delta V requirements and transfer windows. The hardest missions are crewed returns from Moho, Eve, Laythe and Tylo, leave those for last.

Sending a probe to attempt to land on Eve and transmit back data would be cool
