Launch 2-4: Savitskaya 2 (Mun Lander Probe)

9/6/2016

Year 2, day 81.
Project: Savitskaya.
Mission Objectives:

Taking a step back from our uncrewed program, our scientists have several new experiments they wish to perform on Mun's surface.

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.
