On November 23rd, 2021 (at the earliest, PST), NASA will launch its Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission from Vandenberg AFB in California, on board a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

This is a recreation of that mission for the official NASA challenge in KSP! I tried to get as close as I could to replicating the real mission, but this is the first time I've tried replica-building in stock-ish KSP.

While several aesthetic mods were used, I've tested the craft in a pure stock + breaking ground install and it works the same. (though it will look different without my flag pack)

Check out the real DART! https://www.nasa.gov/planetarydefense/dart

Mods used:

- ReStock
- Spectra (including EVE, Scatterer, Planetshine, Distant object enhancement, etc)
- Engine lighting relit
- DART
- Camera Tools Continued
- TUFX
- Waterfall
- My own flag pack for SpaceX decals, white flags, black flags, and foil flags.

Download the craft files and my flag pack if you like - there's also a craft file version without the flags.
