Description
The most tedious thing about long duration lunar missions needing to launch an outpost before the mission, how annoying. Why not just bring the base with you and leave it when you’re done? Well now you can.
The Lunar Expedition Complex guarantees the most bang for your buck. This colossal lander contains a landing stage capable of putting a lunar habitat and an ascent vehicle on the surface. Once the mission is complete, the ascent vehicle pulls the crew directly on a trajectory back to Kerbin, meanwhile the habitat stays on the surface waiting for a future crew. Now you can build that lunar outpost you’ve always wanted without even having to think about it, just send your crews and construct your base at the same time.
Warning: This is one of my more balanced crafts meaning Delta V is limited. The launcher can just barley get the vehicle into a 100 km suborbital trajectory and the 2nd stage has just enough fuel to circularize and perform a TLI. The lander will only have ~300 m/s of Delta V on the surface so be careful.
