Mercury Landing (a.k.a Under Super Pressure)

[Dahzito]

Hello, I finished the Mercury Landing with just 3.24% of Fuel left, and with both Solar Panels Intact.

This was Hard because I needed at least basic knowledge of Gravitational Assists and I needed to know the efficient ways to save fuel.

I thought you were supposed to return to Earth...

 

[Dahzito]

No, you only have to land on mercury with this rocket.

Just to clarify, you only passed venus once? Do you have a picture anywhere of how the planets were aligned when you started your trip?

 

[Dahzito]

Yes, I only passed venus once but I think I don't have screenshots of it? But I have 2 quickaves after I passed venus and when I was in mercury orbit.
And the quick save that was in the instructions.

Do I need to do this mission again?

Here is a screenshot of the position of te planets when I did the 1º engine burn to venus (when I started the trip).
I just loaded the "Graveyard - The destination" quicksave and saw the World Time on one of my screenshots (the World Time on the screenshot as of 1 year and 173 days, you can see that on the 3º screenshoot) then I timewarped until it reached that time.

Can you send those quicksaves here or in DMs?
Or additional pictures from them.
