Just curious, do you think multiple landers is a good idea? I would hate to get there and have "we have a problem."
well, it is a matter of time, more skycranes could land more modules in a shorter time, permitting easily unloading an incoming supply ship during the short window that exists so it could return to Earth again without delay.
Since these landers will run on methane o2 mix combo, the landers will have to actually land for a while to refuel. But in order for that to happen we would need the insitu fuel converters and h2 and. Power gens down first. Wow, I will have to work on order of landing for these modules.
I wanted to have orbit refueling and ground refueling as standard on the first skycrane(s) and maybe drop orbit refueling for later skycranes, in favor of better performance.
Yes, we need such an order. we could also try making unmanned precursor modules, that land on their own.
