The Kerbal XX is a spaceship found in the "Station one" scenario. It orbits Duna. It is considered an easter egg. The spacecraft has a Mk1-2 Command Pod, crewed by Bartbus Kerman, Jerney Kerman, and Ribly Kerman. The spacecraft has 1 Rockomax X200-16 Fuel Tank that has more than half of its fuel depleted. The spacecraft has 1 LV-N Atomic Rocket Motor, 4 SP-L 1x6 Photovoltaic Panels, 4 Z-100 Rechargable Battery Packs, and 8 monopropellant tanks.

Possible Missions

Landing on Duna

  • With 1 parachute, no landing gear, and a massive engine on the bottom of the craft, landing on Duna is not possible. The included parachute will not slow the craft down enough to land.

Returning to Kerbin

  • It would be possible for the spacecraft to return to Kerbin or dock with station one.

Going to Ike

  • The spacecraft has more than enough fuel to reach Ike, but it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to land, due to the protruding engine on the bottom of the spacecraft.
