Introducing the Reusable Duna Launch System!

The team has developed a new reusable launch system. A mega-booster can launch the brand-new Duna shuttle along with up to 120 tons of payload into Low Kerbin Orbit, circularize, and then land itself back at the KSC.

First launch is the crewed shuttle with a 7-kerbal team which will be the base of the orbital station around Duna. Its payload houses the centrifuge which is docked into position just after leaving LKO. During the 2-month long trip, and once the station is parked at Duna orbit, it will provide some gravity for the team.

A second launch during the same transfer window is using a drone shuttle that carries some modules and equipment to extend the orbital station.

Preparations are under way for 3 launches in the next transfer window. A crewed launch will cycle the crew and bring the first team back to Kerbin.…
