View from the observation / command module of the Duna habitat. The crew of Odyssey-1 about the board their new home for the upcoming year. With orbital insertion complete, the crew transferred to the landers, and began their descent to the previously chosen location on the surface, where a surface habitat has been delivered by an earlier, unmanned mission.

Approximately two months later, it found itself in Duna's orbit all systems have so far performed as expected. Once ready, with Duna in the correct position for an optimal transfer, the ship made it's Duna transfer burn. Once complete, the Discovery undocked on it's own and transfered itself to a 400km parking orbit, where it was refueled, crewed with a 6 man Duna team, and equipped with two landers, Odyssey-1 and Odyssey-2. It was constructed from two main segments, the engine section and the command section. The ship was constructed in my shipyard, orbiting Kerbin at a 300km altitude.

Here's how it all went down, along with the obligatory bandwidth-gang-rape-array-of-images. The vessel's first mission was to deliver a 6 man science crew to Duna, and return them safely back home. Other than that it functions perfectly, and this small issue is expected to be resolved in the upcoming K.A.L. Among other things, it likes to play chess with the crew and has a tiny bug - sometimes it gives false positives on main antenna diagnostics, then when the crew EVA's to check, it refuses to open the airlock doors to let them back in. The ship has a maximum crew capacity of 7 (though this is expandable via dockable modules), but has an on-board AI system that is completely capable of operating the vessel on it's own. The Discovery, my interplanetary exploration vessel, just returned from it's maiden voyage to Duna.
