Now, I'm making the last frontier team challenge. I used a 3 stages rocket with 2 boosters.
Here is the bp of the rocket

The first two stages brought me from earth to LEO to HMO.

The last stage is the lander. I used the engine to slow down because mars atmosphere is small.

I decided to make an aerobraking from an earth capture trajectory to land. I entered the atmosphere at 2300m/s and the Heat shield heated to 3500°C

You have your badge, but I encourage you to make greater use of heatshields in Mars entry to improve efficiency. :)
