Description
A lander suitable for JNSQ Duna, and if you’re thrifty, for re-use at Ike. Is likely overkill for stock Duna.
De-orbit this craft to about 35 km PE, then set SAS Prograde and deploy the air brakes. The air brakes seem to work better in this orientation. Once close to 5000 m stage the drogue chutes and switch to SAS Retrograde. Stage away the air brakes once safe to do so. Use the rockets to finish the landing. The flatter, the better; there’s no landing gear on here, though you could try keeping the air brakes to prevent tipping too much.
To return to orbit, throttle up the engines, and if you haven’t yet, stage away the air brakes. This craft is about as aerodynamic as a brick, so get out of the lower atmosphere as soon as you can. Try a normal gravity turn afterward. If you’re careful, you can keep the middle stage and refuel it for a side trip to Ike.
