Description
A stock rocket called Cheap Mun Lander. Built with 13 of the finest parts, its root part is sasModule.
Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.6.0.
Ascent profile/guide:
1) Wait until KSC is pointing at Mun intercept (c. 90° ahead of Mun position at time of launch), and launch vertically - no need to try to steer until in high atmosphere, whereupon orbital prograde vector should be followed (some efficiency loss here vs MUCH easier flying… your choice!)
2) Stage 2 and 3 outside atmosphere.
3) Nearing apoapsis, burn prograde to circularise orbit. Lower stage tanks should be almost depleted when periapsis is c.70km, but must be staged manually as they will otherwise continue to be dead-weight.
4) Final stage should permit encounter and circularisation with Mun at 10km, then descent and ascent with sufficient leeway to permit exit and encounter with Kerbin.
5) Kerbal can survive simple re-entry profile by facing retrograde going down to 30-50km.
6) Kerbal parachute is required to recover vehicle.
