Since she didn’t get a chance to go on the first Explorer 3 landing, Glenica gets to climb out first!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

-Glenica

After everyone has some fun jumping around in the low(er) gravity of Duna, Glenica picks a good spot for the flag.

“This looks like a good spot… here we go!”

-Glenica

The crew poses for their landing portrait!

Great picture everyone, that’s the best one yet!

-Gene, KSEA Mission Control

The crew will rest before their next EVA, then return to Duna Spaceport for the next mission!

With the landing site selected the Explorer 3 crew is ready for their first mission down to Duna!

Edan detaches the Super Duna Lander from the Spaceport!

Air brakes deployed… we’re on track for a good landing!

-Edan

The lander’s parachute deploys!

The Super Duna Lander touches down on Duna, and Edan climbs out…

Followed by Sean!  After the landing portrait, they start work on gathering samples and determining where to go next!

Explorer 3 arrives at Duna after a very long voyage!  Edan, Glenica, and Sean are ready to stretch their legs in the Duna Spaceport Habitat!

Ok – let’s rendezvous with the Spaceport!

-Edan

Explorer 3 moves in to dock with Duna Spaceport…

We’ve got a lock!  Docking complete!

-Edan

I see the Super Duna Lander out there – systems fully powered down… you’ll have to go grab it and dock it with the Spaceport Edan!

-Sean

Edan EVA’s over to the lander….

Almost there…

-Edan

Edan arrives at the Super Duna Lander and powers up all systems!

Bringing the lander in to dock….

-Edan

Success!  The new lander docks with Duna Spaceport!  With the Advanced Atmospheric Lander the crew will be able to send landings down beyond the equatorial band that the previous lander limited them to.

Back on Kerbin, KSEA begins construction of a refuelling craft for the Duna Spaceport.
