Pro Tip: Use Reaction Wheels to help control your vessel. Add a lot of EAS-4 Strut Connectors to the rocket to keep it from wobbling. Put two TT-38K Radial Decouplers, one on each side with two sets of two BACC "Thumper" Solid Fuel Boosters attached to those decouplers. Put some Aerodynamic Nose Cones on top of those outside fuel tanks and use the EAS-4 Strut Connector to hold the upper stages to the lower stage. Use two way symmetry and the key to copy the two large fuel tanks and engines, as shown in the picture above. This stage should be at least able to carry your other two stages to Kerbin Orbit.Īgain, put a TR-18A Stack Decoupler and two FL-T800 Fuel Tanks (you can use four FL-T400 Fuel Tanks if you do not have that part yet) with the LV-T45 "Swivel" Liquid Fuel Engine on the bottom. Use a LV-909 "Terrier" Liquid Fuel Engine for this stage. Put a TR-18A Stack Decoupler under the engine with a FL-T400 Fuel Tank under that. The middle stage will carry your rocket from Kerbin Orbit to the Munar Orbit and might also help with your lunar landing. Put an Mk16 Parachute on top of the Mk1 Command Pod for the landing on Kerbin Middle Stage

If you want to gather science from the surface, put two SC-9001 Science Jrs on ether side with the science experiments on them. Just make sure they can touch the ground below the engine. Don't forget the landing legs! Put a set of four LT-05 Micro Landing Struts as close to the bottom of the fuel tanks as possible. Put two FL-T400 Fuel Tanks with a LV-909 "Terrier" Liquid Fuel Engine under that. Start with an Mk1 Command Pod and put a heat shield and a TR-18A Stack Decoupler under that. The upper stage of your lander should be fully capable of landing and returning from the Mun. So why would you go to the Mun? Here are some reasons why:Īdditionally, you will need a basic understanding of orbital mechanics (see Tutorials section and Getting Into Orbit tutorial), maneuver nodes, angles, and a lot of patience.Ī Mun lander that is fully capable of landing and returning from the Mun. Going to your first moon can be a challenge. 6.2 Transferring From the Mun to Kerbin.5.4 I Landed on the Mun, What Should I do Now?.
