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

I remember the atmosphere height of these celestial bodies used to be slightly different in the version of KSP I started out playing (v0.19.1), then were rounded out. The only change I remember clearly was Jool's atmosphere used to be 315km instead of its current 300k. Does anyone else remember w...

Duna's atmosphere begins at 41,446 m. It is only 20% as dense as Kerbin's at sea level altitude and is even less dense relative to Kerbin at higher altitudes.

Duna is the fourth planet from Kerbol and the second smallest planet in the Kerbol system, after Moho. Named after an ancient god of war, it is often referred to as the "Red Planet" due to the iron oxide prevalent on its surface which gives it a reddish appearance. Duna is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Mun and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Kerbin. "Also known as the red dot that you can see if you

^^ Craft Information - First Dip Scheduled ^^The first interplanetary probe mission by the KSA has targeted Duna with a large payload of scientific instruments. Duna I includes a mapping probe that will scan Duna's surface from a polar orbit to construct biome, terrain and slope maps. It also has a ballistic probe it will drop through Duna's atmosphere to measure its properties while descending, possibly reaching the surface intact. The transfer stage that will carry both these probes into orbit around Duna will also perform its own science in orbit above Duna and its satellite Ike.The craft is no longer intercepting Ike's SOI along its orbit. Now the flight ops team are spending the next few days with mission scientists working on a series of atmospheric "dips" that will gradually probe the upper (and maybe lower) atmosphere of Duna in preparation for dropping its atmospheric probe. These dips will allow us to build up a more detailed model of Duna's atmosphere and when we test the drop probe in Kerbin's atmosphere we can make a good comparison and properly plan for the actual Duna probe drop in early 2016. Originally we planned to just let the probe go and get back whatever data we could, but the abundance of Δv we have available in Duna I has led us to change our plans and incorporate the craft itself into our Duna atmospheric research.The first dip will be just a nice easy brush against the very edge of Duna's atmosphere at only 49km, but we will allow the craft to contin...
10. Mission to Duna
Duna has a thicker atmosphere than Mars, so parachutes can be used to assist ... I aimed it in at a height of just under 20 km, and that slowed it up nicely.
Our real club rocket launch got cancelled due to bad weather, so I played Kerbal Space Program instead. I spent a few hours exploding some large rockets before I realized that their structures simply could not take the beating the massive engines were giving them. The secret: Throttle down the engines to 3/4 power for most of the boost, and do a more vertical launch trajectory to get out of the atmosphere quicker (less stress on the airframe). I tried adding lots of bracing, but that seems to cause it's own problems by making the physics engine stress out with all the extra parts. Once I got the uprated launch vehicle tweaked and boosting well, I had a nice Mark Twain spacecraft in orbit... so I took it to Duna (the Kerbin system's Mars equivalent).
