Duna rescue mission craft flung into solar orbit by Ike

Description
Hi,
I accepted a lucrative contract to rescue a Kerbal with the craft from a Duna orbit. Only when I checked the orbit it intersected with Ike's SOI. After two Ike gravity assists the craft is flung into an Solar orbit.
This is in a save game that was copied from version 1.3.0 to version 1.3.1

We are unable to support modded games on this tracker, and the effects of those on the outcome of any given contract are unknown.
Unfortunately offered contracts cannot predict future events such as this, and for lucrative contracts there will invariably be extra obstacles to overcome. When a contract is offered it must be appraised fully, and is up to the player whether they choose to accept what may sometimes be an impossible task. I'm afraid that you will have to put this lost reward down to experience, and be aware that similar situations are likely in late game contracts.
This is normal behaviour regardless of potential mod influence, so I have to mark this as not a bug.
