Hello, this is my Team Frontier Entry - Mars Mission. I've finally did it in a single launch, yay! Anyways, here's the pictures.

I'm planning to do an aerobrake, that's why I'm aiming below the atmosphere

Return

Mars orbit

Setting up trajectory back to Earth

Aaaand we did it, we have a touchdown!

The rocket and my strategy might not be the best in terms of efficiency, but feedbacks and criticism are always welcome.

Haha, thanks. I took some inspiration from past rover launches. Gives more stability and protection really!
