Colonizing Duna... and Beyond

Launch 4-28: Moho Lander

3/1/2016

 
Picture
Year 4, Day 355.
Mission Objectives:
  1. Land on Moho's surface.

This is a high-speed encounter, which we've decided to try out nuclear engines on. This lets us get away with a single stage for transfer and circularization, reducing the size of the lifter required to get it out of the atmosphere.

Payload: lander probe.

Descent stage: Ant I

Upper stage: Nerva III
Picture
First stage: Mainsail

Liftoff.
