Travelling to Minmus
Travelling to Minmus
In this tutorial, I will be teaching you how to get to Minmus. It doesn't seem like it, but it is easier than the moon due to lower gravity. You might be saying that it is further, so it is harder. Though the distance is negated by the Oberth Effect
Building
The minmus spacecraft is similar to the mun and consists of 3 stages.
Upper Stage
The upper stage should consist of a pod (i prefer the Command Pod Mk1 due to the low mass and it being compact), 1 FL-T400 Fuel Tank, and some LT-1 Landing Struts. If you're coming back to Kerbin, I don't need to say that you need Parachutes.
Middle Stage
This should have some middle sized engine and a tank. If you are a begginer, you could put on an FL-T800 Fuel Tank and an LV-N Atomic Rocket Motor. Though a Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tank and a Rockomax "Poodle" Liquid Engine is enough.
