Launch R4-022: OMB-1 (Minmus Lander)

9/17/2016

Year 3, day 92.
Customer: O.M.B. Demolition Enterprises
Mission Objectives:

Land probe on the surface of Minmus
Transmit scientific data back to Kerbin

Returning to our unscrewed program, we set our focus back towards Minmus. Before we send Kerbals there, we need to know a little more about the surface of the moon.

This launch returns to our R4 lifter, but with a new, liquid hydrogen-based upper stage. This gives the rocket just enough extra performance to perform this mission.

The Rules

Rocket launches must be fully automated using kOS and SmartParts.
Launch vehicles must have self-contained guidance, and not rely on payloads.
Long-duration, non-cryogenic stages must use low-efficiency engines to simulate hypergolic fuels.
Crewed vehicles must be flight-certified before they carry any crew.
Crewed vehicles may not use SRBs.
AntennaRange / USI LS (in K.I.A. mode) will be used.
Missions must be progressive:
1. Uncrewed before crewed.
2. Suborbital/flyby before orbital.
3. Orbital before landing.
Launches are permitted every 23 days on Kerbin.
