Mouhou Project 3
Description: A probe designed to land on Moho.
Mass at launch: 650 kg (7352 kg with upper stage)
Launch vehicle: Symphony-10k Type-01
(reusable SSTO booster with 10000 kg payload capacity)
Mission objective: Land on Moho.
The Symphony-10k launch vehicle is propelled by nine aerospike engines.
Mouhou Project 3 and its upper stage, separated from the launcher
It was realized that a powered descent using MechJeb's landing autopilot only costed about 350 m/s in delta-v. So, that landing method was used instead of the parachutes (which added more mass to the vehicle and weren't as effective at slowing the craft before it reached the ground).
Upper stage performing trans-Moho injection
Arrival at Moho
Initial orbit
At apoapsis
Lander in circularized orbit
De-orbit burn
Falling towards the surface
Landed on Moho
