Specialized delivery method

[CircuitBurner]

I've got a base on Mars...yes, no fancy one-off mods of hacking involved ...just standard parts available.
That said, it truly is difficult to maintain after initial landing, you know the fuel needed (and hypothetical consumables involved I pretend are also being resupplied)
But there's also a solution for that mission as well in the form of a specialized Mars resupply package that gets dropped to surface via parachutes. Pic of that to follow this disclosure of the primary excursion lander/rover system.
Utilizing two launchers, and two separate launches, the primary excursion mission vehicle gets delivered to a low Earth parking orbit, for rendezvous and assembly of it's two sections. Use of docking adapters have proven very useful for assembly or reconfiguration of systems during missions. The use of explosive joints also has its place at certain locations like one time deployments from launch vehicle.

The assembled excursion unit gets connected to a transit vehicle that carries all the required fuel and engines to reach Mars and deposit the excursion vehicle in low Martian orbit (LMO).
Subsequent de-orbit and careful landing procedures establish your presence upon the Martian terrain...and with a high enough profile as to ensure catching the attention of any of the very attractive {sexy} fabled Martian females that might encounter your mission.

And lastly, to bring the current state of the Mars base presence up to date, here's the Mars resupply mission module package in it's launch configuration...
Operationally, in order to actually do any real resupplying, I had to figure out things like height and angles and whatnot, to enable the excursion mission vehicle/base to couple to the resupply module once it has landed.
Getting the module as close to base as possible introduced a whole new set of challenges, as you could expect...
The actual resupply action (with some comedy) required creative deployment of the modules auxillary landing legs in order to get the required conditions for the hookup.
Future version of resupply module will certainly incorporate improved geometry learned from resupply mission #1...
The auxillary landing/support legs will remain a feature, for the possible use in any future scenarios where stuff don't line up quite right, but you desperately need a 'now' solution for coupling and offloading of fuel and supplies from supply module.

Oh, and that is a small Mars buggy vehicle attached to the buisness end of the resupply package. It could prove invaluable in the event that some kind of intermediary or adapter is needed for completing any offload of fuel...hence it's incorporation of multiple docking segments to accommodate a wide variety of situations.

I’m confused on why this isn’t in SFS Discussion.

Same.
