A ringed pathway, Oord is on your landing list
It is NOT easy to land, so i reccomend quicksaving before landing, it is very possible though
A Delta II Inspired Design, with 6 SRB's burning in two sequences of three
AG's
AG1 : Solar Panel Lander
AG2 : Landing Gear Lander
AG3 : Lander Antennae
AG4 : Lander Equipment
AG5 : Unfold/Fold and Activate/Deactivate Wings
AG6 : Lights
AG7 : Permanently Settle Lander
AG8 : Solar Panel Deorbit Stage
AG9 : RCS Cryogenic Third Stage
AG10 : Detach HORS-IE Cubesat
AG11 : Detach OorBES Cubsat
AG12 : Cubesats Solar Panels
AG13 : Cubesats Antennas
Warning
Detach the cubesats before using the ag's, the ags are replicated on their respective command discs
Features
The least amount of parts in a while (~2200 parts)
13 AG's
Two Cubesats
A unique way to approach landing on Oord
The Payloads
HORS-IE
HORS-IE : High Orbit Reconaissance Satellite - Imaging Experiment
It is a small 3U cubesat equipped with a less powerful and a more powerful camera, both have an adjustable zoom with Slider One, It has Solar Panels with AG 12 and AG 13 Deploys its antenna
OorBES
OorBES : Oord Bound Experiment Satellite
It is a small satellite meant to experiment around Oord: like HORS-IE it is a 3U Cubesat Lodged in the third stage of the rocket, meant to be dropped in orbit around Oord
GliDE Vehicle
The GliDe Vehicle, Or Gliding Descent Vehicle, Is a small plane like craft that is meant to settle down on the land of Oord, Landing it is difficult on its own so i recommend quicksaving before attempting to land
Normal Flight Events / Imaged Instructions
Liftoff of Messenger-B, with Three of its six SRB's and the two main engines lighting up
Booster Sep 1: Three new SRBs are lit up and are now roaring in the sky
The boosters have been seperated, it is now ready to reach space and get close to orbit, pushing it to two km/sec
The First stage is discarded
The Fairing is discarded
The orbit is then risen by the second stage to anywhere from 500 to 1000km
The third stage fires up (AG9 Can be used for RCS) They are used in the photo below
After a successful Sergeaa transfer, you can peacefully transfer to Oord with some spare deltaV for Orbital insertion, when in orbit AG 10/11 Can be turned on to remove the payloads
The Deorbit stage will now lower the orbit to a Pe/Ap of around 200km, then lower it down to a collision course
The Glide Vehicle is Dropped
Landing preperation
After the lander has succesfully lander (this part is the hardest of the mission), It can settle down using AG7 and open up using AG 1,3,4 and fold its wings using AG5
Note: atmospheric entry should be a bit slower than Oord Orbital Velocity, so 1000-1500m/s
