After reading RGClark's post in the Math & Physics forum, I decided to setup this challenge:

"Launch the Deltaglider and land anywhere on the Moon. Then return and land anywhere on Earth. Minimize fuel use.
You are allowed to use the scenario editor to place the DG on any launch site you think would be most efficient."

Unzip the attached file in your Orbiter directory and run the Challenges\Earth-Moon round trip scenario.
I have added a lua script that checks the mission goals and returns a fuel expenditure score upon completion.

Post a snapshot with the "mission completed successfully.." message and compare scores with other orbinauts.
Have fun, happy orbitting
:cheers:


The scoreboard below will be updated regularly.

I made an error in my Δv calculation and ended up setting up the challenge with 1000 m/s less than what I intended. :facepalm:

If you have downloaded the Earth_Moon_RT.zip file, please get the new attachment on post #1 (Earth_Moon_RT_fixed) and when you unzip, overwrite the files.

The correct challenge starts with a Δv budget of 18500 m/s

Sorry for the inconvenience.
:tiphat:
