Description

A stock rocket called HMB Washington. Built with 1023 of the finest parts, its root part is roverBody.v2.

Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.12.1.

Instructions for shipping to Duna(very important):
-Comes with launcher
Launch Phase(to LKO):
SAS SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH THE FIRST STAGE
USE VERY VERY GENTLE INPUTS WHILE FIRST STAGE IS ACTIVE
SHOULD PITCH EAST ONLY 22.5 DEGREES MAX BY 10k(near next staging.
Stage 2:
Turn on SAS after staging
Can use stability assist(same direction) or hold prograde as needed to reach orbit.
Depending on efficiency stage 2 may bring you to orbit or may not, it isnt an issue either way.
Stage 3: Easy to use, will have to do all attitude control with engine gimbal while en route. Has plenty of fuel margin.
Stage 4: Inner unused rhino core of Stage 3. Use as needed for reentry burn and landing slowdown burns.
EDL: Start reentry with any stage. Be sure to slowdown to at least~250 m/s at 10k meters AGL before removing last stage.
Can cruise for a bit in just the fairing with (unnecessary but better looking) heat shield inflated.
There are many staging events to seperate booster, fairing, heat shield etc before releasing the payload.
On final payload release have throttle at maximum for a few seconds so the payload clears the fairing.
Now you are controlling the skycrane, MAKE SURE TO SET CONTROL TO THE ROVER BODY ON THE BOTTOM(ground facing when landed) side of the payload. then you can visually control it to the ground. The parachutes will have automatically deployed and will cap your speed depending on how long it takes to get to the ground. If near the ground and you want to cut parachutes, do so with Action Group 2. Once landed safely, tap z to set throttle to max and immediately after stage to send the landing rockets away. You could also manually control each one with the probe cores if you want. May be good to quicksave before this(and many other times in the whole flight. To use for isru, there is a actual ore drill in the the refining module. Then just use what you see and the docking port for fuel transfer. To start the oil rig, start the KAL. There are some issues with quicksaving and stuff moving the chain out of its pathway, so possible replacement on the surface may be necessary. Also, there are glitches that clear KAL controllers, but it is pretty simple to set the KAL up yourself, DM me on discord for how @Arglarg#0115 .
