Introduction

After the The Shuttle Program exploration campaign, Kerbals look to the skies and wonder what lies under a pale, red dot they've always stared at (Duna). After some additional time dreaming, Kerbican folks decided to build a pair of rovers that could rove the surface of Duna for more historic, never-seen-before info. This campaign is based on the real Exploration Rover program conducted by the American agency NASA.

Specifications

Length: 1-1.5 hours

Difficulty: 6/10 (Proficient)

Skills needed:

• Comfort with maneuver nodes
• Should be able to land with skill, as Duna's atmosphere is thinner than that of Kerbin's.

Missions

Kathfinder and Kojourner

First DERs of the program.

• Target: Successfully land Kathfinder on Duna, then spawn the Kojourner rover.

1. Rocket must contain enough fuel for Low Kerbin Orbit (suggested orbit: 80 x 80 meters), the interplanetary transfer and aerocapture/propulsive deceleration.
2. It must be able to reach a distance of 100 meters away from the lander (for realism).
