Final part: Sorry for so many images

Overall I think this mission went well (apart from the return)

Well done! Have to agree aiming for efficient Earth return path from Jovian system is difficult.

I did have an efficient angle from the jovian system but I screwed it up trying to be efficient with a bielliptic transfer
It would have only saved like 200m/s of Delta-V, but I spent 2000m/s more trying to slow down
Thank Stef for ions!

Looks awesome! Two moons is impressive, and the ions are warranted! I gotta redo this challenge at some point.

As usual...

I tried 4 but turns out I way underpacked for Delta V for that

Wow, epic mission! Badge granted, it's largely deserved. The navigation in the jovian system is an art in itself uh?

 

[Axiom]

Moving around in it is ok, but entering/escaping can be quite a pain (I count a total of 8 gravity assists just to land on Io)

Edit: I think that Io may be harder to land on than ganymede because of how close it is to Jupiter, it's kinda like the Mercury of the jovian system

You can increase throttle and save a lot of time through quicksave editing

I was at 100% throttle and I don't know how to quicksave edit

Basically you rename the rocket to something unique (let's use "Ree") create a quicksace with the engine off, then you have to go to files>sfs>saving>worlds>[world name]>quicksaves>[quicksave name]>rockets.txt
in rockets.txt, you have to find "Ree" in it. Then go just below it and find the throttle number. It's percentage is in the 1.0 for 100%. I would change it to 5.0 or 10.0

That seems a bit cheaty to me I'm not going to lie
