Launch 5-9: Minmus Double Rescue

Year 5, Day 97.
Mission Objectives:

1. Rescue Lemfred and Tangie from orbits around Minmus.
2. Return them safely back to Kerbin.

We are launching a reusable Crew Ferry Vehicle (CFV-1) connected to a DEUCES mk I. This can be used to ferry crew between Kerbin and its moons, or to and from the surface of a moon.

Payload: CFV-1

Lifter: DLSv3 Atlas

Mission Summary:​

1. Rescue Lemfred and Tangie from orbits around Minmus: failed to reach orbit.
2. Return them safely back to Kerbin: failed to reach orbit.

As this was our first launch of the DLSv3 Atlas, booster engine staging was done prematurely and the craft failed to reach orbit.
