On it’s way to a 100km parking orbit to await the lander craft to join it later.
It’ll be carrying 3 Kerbals, a science lab and an array of science experiments to conduct along the way.
Next stop: Duna!

Thanks man! But I took a lot of inspiration from Mike Aben for this one!
I cut a little close to my solar generation/battery budget with this one. The batteries only just cover a full lab of data transfer, and the panels take a good half a day to fully charge the batteries along side running the lab constantly. But it did it’s job!
A rule of thum for 'chutes on Duna is: 1 radial per ton. Courtesy of Mike Aben once again! This lander was about 8.5 tons and bounced a little on landing with 8 'chutes.
