Description:
The Crewed Probe is designed not just to blindly throw a Kerbal into orbit like so many other spacecraft are designed to do, but to blindly throw a Kerbal into a Munar flyby.
This is an optionally crewed craft built to go either to orbit or to do a flyby of the Mun. It was first used to get Kerbals into LKO, but was later used for flying by the Mun as a predecessor to the SOL-MO program.
A stock rocket called CP-1 ‘Crewed Probe’. Built with 83 parts we got on sale from Jeb, its root part is mk1pod.v2.
Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.12.4.
Flight Instructions:
Launch at a slight angle, but turn to 45 degrees at around 20 km. The craft will pitch up after stage 0 jettison, so prepare to stabilize it.
The upper stage does not provide enough delta-v to get the craft into orbit, so you will have to augment it with the capsule’s engines.
The craft does not have enough fuel for a low munar flyby, so aim for around 600-700 km above the Mun.
Perform a course correction on the way back for atmospheric reentry (aim for 30-40 km)
Deploy chute after atmospheric reentry.
