How much delta v Do you need to get to Duna and back?

You will need at least 2000ms Delta-V for the orbit and return, you can test this by seeing if your lander is **almost** capable of reaching Kerbin orbit by itself.

How do you land on Duna and return?

If you want to do a land-and-return vehicle, one handy way to practice is to do something like this:

save your game.
launch just the “lander / ascent” part of your duna ship to the launchpad.
use the “Set Orbit” function on the debug cheat menu to put it directly into orbit of Duna.

Do parachutes work on Duna?

I would be using multiple parachutes, to slow down a Duna lander. The inflatable heat shield slowed my 3t vessel to under 100m/s, and it then used the basic blue parachute and two radials to land, and even this was excessive. While Duna air is thinner, the gravity is also lower.

Can you fly on Duna?

The aero model in 1.0. 4 makes flying on Duna very easy. In fact, everything involving Duna’s atmosphere (aercapture, reentry, landing a rocket on a specific spot, using parachutes, taking off again, etc.) is way easier than it was pre-1.0. As such, there is no good reason NOT to fly on Duna.

Can you use parachutes on Duna?

Parachutes are used on bodies with atmospheres such as Kerbin and Eve to slow the craft for a landing. Therefore craft that are either very heavy or land on bodies with thin atmospheres (Duna, Laythe) require either multiple parachutes or additional engines for a soft landing.

How do you get a house from Duna?

Make a maneuver node that has you just barely escaping Duna.
On your solar orbit make a second maneuver node that lowers your orbit to intersect the Kerbin.
Move this second maneuver node around until you get an encounter or near encounter.

Can you Aerobrake on Duna?

That said, it’s probably salvageable. If you enter Duna’s atmosphere at 2700 m/s aiming for a periapsis of 10 km, that will probably be low enough to keep you from zipping back off into space. It might also cause you to explode, though, as it’s pushing it.

What altitude is Aerobrake at Duna?

Orbital Characteristics
Semi-Major Axis	20 726 155 264 m (1)
Sphere of Influence	47 921 949 m
Highest elevation	4740 m
Atmospheric Characteristics

Where does Duna’s atmosphere start?

50,000 m.
Duna’s atmosphere begins at 50,000 m. It is only 20% as dense as Kerbin’s at altitude 0 and is even less dense (relative to Kerbin) at higher altitudes. This effect becomes especially noticeable at Duna’s highest points, where its atmosphere is only 21% as dense as its atmosphere at altitude 0.

Do jet engines work on Duna KSP?

Only your home planet of Kerbin and Jool’s moon Laythe have an oxygen-rich atmosphere, which means that jet engines will only work on these two planets. If you fly to Duna, for example, it just won’t work. Although jet engines won’t work, your wings will generate lift just fine.

How to get to Duna from Kerbal Space Program?

The chute should revert to its state before it was deployed. Get back into your rocket, put your newly packed chute into the correct stage, and go to the next step of the tutorial. Make sure Duna and Kerbin are in the proper alignment. This time, Duna should be at 3 o’clock with respect to Kerbol, and Kerbin itself should be at roughly 5:30.

Is it possible to land on Duna and return to Kerbin?

Possessing a moon similar to Kerbin’s, Ike, in addition to several mysterious Easter Egg locations. With a little bit of luck, skill, and determination, you can successfully land on Duna and return to Kerbin, all in one ship, with ease. ~1500 m/s for ascent to orbit.

How to reduce the amount of fuel required to enter orbit around Duna?

You can reduce the amount of fuel required to enter orbit around Duna by aerobraking. As shown on the information page, Duna’s atmosphere is thin and only begins around 40 km. Aerobraking from escape velocity requires you to place your periapsis at 15 km or less, which can be quite a rush given your surface speed is likely 2 km/s or more.

What kind of rocket do you need to land on Duna?

To perform a successful landing on Duna you will need a large rocket. Unless you are planning to deploy a spaceplane in the Dunan atmosphere (a perfectly viable option), you will need something resembling a highly beefed-up Mun Rocket.
