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
