  • Duna is the fourth planet of the Kerbol system. It is the Mars analog for Kerbal Space Program and is mostly red with polar icecaps. It has one natural satellite; Ike. Due to Ike's size and proximity, Ike and Duna are almost tidally locked to each other. Making Ike look like its slinging left and right when Duna rotates. With proper aerobraking, a round trip from Kerbin to Duna's orbit and back requires roughly 1700 m/s of delta-v, less than a round trip to any other planet. Duna is often the ea

  • Having conquered all celestial bodies within Kerbin's sphere of influence, the Kerbal Space Program was ready to finally visit other planets. The most obvious choice was Duna, the Red Planet. But before a manned mission could be sent, the Program needed to learn the specifics about Duna's atmosphere and to develop systems and gain experience in interplanetary travel. The Duna Express multicomponent robotic mission was to be the first milestone.

  • I wanted to give the new stock rover parts a real workout, so I decided it would be fun to drive all the way around a celestial body. At first I thought Minmus might be nice, because it's small, so I wouldn't have to go a long distance... but then I rejected that idea, because it's small, so it wouldn't be that big of a challenge. I wanted to circumnavigate a WHOLE PLANET. So I chose to drive around Duna. I would use the same Fido KE rover that I designed for Desdin to use on Eve, since it's meant to be fast and safe. I decided to do the mission un-kerballed even though having one of those wheel-fixing accessories on board would be handy, I didn't want to have to go through the bother of sending a ship to bring the kerbal back home to Kerbin.
