Here comes a short one, quite basic but still a little tricky the first couple of times you try it.
Starting conditions;
Load this items somewhere at the lunar surface (Brighton base or somewhere else);
1x DG IV,
1x MMU, 22 years old with full oxygen supply
2x turbopacks.
( fuel/payload and other settings for the DG IV is not that relevant so it's free of your choise, I used the MK 2 engines, realistic fuel setting )
Challenge;
Launch the MMU into low lunar orbit, fly around the moon, when the MMU approaches the starting location again, lift of with the DGIV and dock with the MMU in lunar orbit before he runs out of oxygen.
step by step;
Make sure the MMU have full oxygen. Let the MMU grab one turbopack on his back and the other one on his belly [G].
launch the MMU into a low lunar orbit, (lower orbit makes it easier)
(use the [M] key until you get orbital information)
When the first turbopack runs out of fuel you must change Turbopack by;
1) detach the empty Turbopack
2) move away from it with RCS Translation mode
3) detach the other Turbopack from the belly [G]
4) attach that Turbopack on the back
then continue to accelerate until you reach orbital velocity.
The MMU will of coarse not have sufficient fuel to land back on the moon again so at this stage his only hope is to be saved by the DG IV pilot.
When approaching the starting location again after the first lunar orbit, launch the DGIV and rescue the MMU before he dies from Hypoxia.
An older MMU consumes more oxygen, so a MMU which is 23-24 or above will not make it whole way around the moon before he dies.
The remaing oxygen with an 22 years old MMU will only be some 5 minutes so don't waste to much time with the docking.
When you have docked the MMU, you can land back again on the starting location, try to do this challenge with as low DG fuel consumption as possible.
Good luck!
