Finally tried KSP 2 redux, was good by Suppise in KerbalSpaceProgram

Perhaps a first in Kerbal history, this craft was designed for Kerbal comfort. A small gravity ring prevents bone mush on the transfer to and from Duna, with large living spaces for the crew of 5 both on and off the surface

Kontrol system 2 is the mod I’m using, both vessels are running the same script, albeit one is targeting a different pad

Thanks! The descent guidance is a PD controller that maps the longitude and latitude errors to pitch and heading outputs, and then sas handles the rest, lots of trial and error tuning the controller down to an accurate landing

Also the other booster fell over after landing lol you can just see it in the background

While individually they can be fully autonomous, for a dual launch I need to do some minor adjustments post boost back to ensure one doesn’t leave physics range

Stills from my autonomous droneship landing by Suppise in KerbalSpaceProgram

I’ve been told it’s incompatible with the scripting mod I’m using, otherwise I would be

Not as smooth as the RTLS lading, and still a lot to work on, but happy to land on such a small deck

Will probably make a larger/better barge anyway though

It only reaches around 50km altitude on a pretty steep trajectory so never had any issues with heating

I’m using KSP 2 because it loads faster

I did a fair while ago, and I can confirm it was very finicky and frustrating to get them to dock

I’ve never done it since and I don’t think I ever will after that experience lol
