. All Action Groups Labeled
. Service Module (Methalox, w/ SM Engine Pulse (AG1)
. Automitic RCS Staging Activation (w/ Action Group Overrides “[OR]”)
. Dock Capable (Dock Energize, w/ Beacon Lights, Dock Light, Dock Cam)
. Null Vectors Docking Assist (Within 5 km of Target: AG2)
. Automatic Stage Seperation Motors
. Automatic Hull Lighting, Beacon Lighting
. Integrated Heat Shield
. Landing Mode, Lights, Landing Cam
. Sequential Parachutes Deployment (Thin Atmosphere Setup)

Landing Sequence Protocol:

. De-Orbit from 100 km to close to Zero (1/2 Orbit Rotation)
(This allows Parachutes to “Drag” as long as possible)
. Be Patient!
. Parachutes Deployment Sequence begins around 25 km
. Free Fall to 3500 m
. Suicide Burn from 3500 m to Soft Touch Down!
. Cut Parachuts [AG5] for Accent

Note: Spacecrat has enough Delta-V for Landing as above, Accent to 100km Orbit, with about 15% Fuel left in the SM for Orbit maneuvers, Docking, etc…

P.S. It took some Tweaking to get the Thin Atmosphere Sequential Parachutes to work right, and be more or less stable thru Re-Entry.

P.S.S. See my “MARS MISSION” Post for the Full Meal Deal!

Enjoy!
