This is a challenge for the stock Deltaglider, based on the "Mars - Retrieve Payload from Phobos and Deimos" scenario that comes with the XR2 Ravenstar.
Description:
"Launch from Olympus base, land on both Martian moons and then return and land within 50 km of the base. You have 24 hours from the moment you ignite your engines. Δv budget: 7300 m/s"
Unzip the attached file in your Orbiter directory and run the Challenges Anthology\Deltaglider\2.Martian moons tour scenario.
The scenario comes with a lua script that checks if you have completed the goals of the mission and gives you a score in terms of how much Δv you used once the mission is complete.
You get a "mission failure" message if:
-You land back at Olympus without having landed on both moons.
-You land at a distance greater than 50 km of Olympus base.
-You land with a high vertical speed. (vs < -10 m/s).
-You fail to complete the challenge within 24 hours from engine ignition.
This scenario is a test for an addon that I'm making called Orbiter Challenges Anthology. I have gathered 9 of my favourite challenges and made scripts for all of them, similar to the one you see in this challenge. So please send me feedback of what you think of the script. (Intro, notes and messages placement, etc).
Have fun, happy orbiting.
------------------EDIT-----------------------
A few screenshots of a successful mission.
I wasn't very careful with my burns, ended up using ~7250 m/s of the available 7300.
