When stacked, the Rover does not touch the Lander anywhere except the attachment point, and the Lander similarly the Entry Stage. There are no intersecting parts between the subassemblies, which are the Cruise Stage, the Entry Stage, the Lander Stage, the Rover. Double-hinged folding wheels were necessary! As in the original, this required a huge amount of refinement of the position and organisation of the various parts, especially on the rover.

This is especially true of the back shell whose form is very close to the original, apart obviously from the shell base. The geometry of the Duna Probe matches that of the NASA quite closely. All parts used are stock game parts in KSP 1.11 and the Breaking Ground extension 1.6. The Duna Rover is Kerbal-sized and Kerbal in nature while trying to follow the NASA rover in form and intent.

This video first showcases the component subassemblies of the Duna Probe, then shows a major test of the probe at the Kerbal base, then it plays a 10-minute summary of the full mission to Duna. It is also a response to some friends and family who wanted to know what on Earth I get up to in KSP. This video shows a playful attempt to reproduce in Kerbal Space Program NASA's astonishing feat of putting a science rover on the surface of Mars on February 18th 2021 by sending one to the surface of Duna, the KSP analogue of Mars.
