KSP - NASAs Dragonfly Mission to Titan & SMART re-use in RSS / RO

NASAs Dragonfly is a rotorcraft mission to Titan. Here, I’ve recreated it the best that I can in KSP with the RSS/RO mod suite, as well as ULAs SMART Re-use system, with mid-air helicopter recovery! The likely launch vehicle for the mission is the Vulcan Centaur. The trajectory I’m not entirely certain on - this is going off of the original 2026 E-V-E-E trajectory, which I think will be similar for the 2027 launch. (but I don’t have the NASA computer to calculate it) It’s similar to an Atlas V, but it now has the Centaur V upper stage, with 2x RL-10Cs, and uses Blue Origins BE-4 methalox engines, that are recovered and re-used on further flights. Dragonfly is a rotorcraft designed to take advantage of Titans unique characteristics - a lower gravity than Earth, yet a thicker atmosphere means it’s perfect for flying drones around - much further and faster than the Mars rovers!
