Description

Comes with its own booster and orbital stage and can get to and land anywhere from Duna to Eve and in between. Once there it can mine and produce fuel, attach itself to base or return rocket of what ever you want, and fuel it up.

Eve Landing Procedure: Remove landing engines and unfuel rover tanks. Use orbital stage to bring it into Eve atmosphere and jettison orbital stage before atmospheric entry. Inflate heat shields before atmospheric entry and retract all extendable parts. Use parachute and land on inflated heat shields, the heat shields should destructively cushion the landing.

Duna Landing Procedure: Remove Heat Shields. Use orbital stage or landing engines to bring it into Duan atmosphere, jettison orbital stage and retract all extendable parts before atmospheric entry. Use parachute and landing engines to land below 5 m/s fall rate. Alternatively the Eve Landing Procedure can work on Duna as long as you land below 2 km altitude.

No Atmosphere Landing Procedure: Remove Heat Shields and Parachutes. Landing engines and rover fuel tanks will have 192 kN of thrust total and 714 m/s of vacuum delta-v for landing.

A stock rocket called Harvester. Built with 121 of the finest parts, its root part is ISRU. Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.4.5.
