Challenge: Reusability Extreme

[Pink]

Yeah, but still, shoudn't be restricted. Someone could try it and show you isn't Actually that hard.

Only Horus said no shuttles. It's not restricted.

Question:
Does the moon challenge require a capsule or just a probe?
And I presume all the parts that fall off have to be safely landed near the launch pad?

Thank you.

But Actually, the first post specifies the vessel "must be a rocket"

Yes, I believe that means "no acarii drives", not "no shuttles"

Ok

what I mean by rocket is a craft powered by rocket engines, as opposed to an acarii drive or a docking port one

moon one can be whatever, I just figured a capsule for the mars one made things more interesting.

Cool.

I'm trying to squeeze a shuttle and booster into 20 parts. Down to 21 right now.

 

[TtTOtW]

And do it twice with the same shuttle and same booster.

 

[Horus Lupercal]

And do it twice with the same shuttle and same booster.

Yeah, I'm looking to do both missions with the same vehicle in one spawn with a pad landing inbetween.

I didn't realise how incredibly competent this community is compared to the discord one. just wow.

Would you refuel on the pad, or just have enough fuel for both trips from the start?

Stick around dude, we have been doing single spawn missions similar to this, taking payloads to venus, ganymede, geo synchronous earth orbit

Pad re-fuel

Hey, you're back! Nice mission

 

[TtTOtW]

How did you launched it to orbit?

Obviously some changes have been made. But same booster.

Just 168m/s short, 2% more fuel needed

Working on it, will get it done soon
