Description

My TWR when I was doing a round Duna mission, when I got to LKO (Low Kerbin Orbit), did the transfer burn to Duna, got to orbit, left the refueling tanker in orbit, aerobraked and landed on Duna, returned to orbit around Duna, did a rendezvous with the refueling ship, docked with it, was fine, and now it's terrible. When I waited until Year 3, Day 239 for the launch window to come back home, I was trying to do the transfer burn to Kerbin. My TWR when I ascended from Duna was about 1.3. Now it's 0.01 TWR. And it is not a giant lander. Just a MK1-3 Command Pod, a 2.5 meter heat shield, a separator, an Rockomax X200-16 Fuel Tank, 4 LT-2 landing struts, a LV-909 Terrier Liquid Fuel Engine, some science equipment, a Service Bay (2.5 meters) a half-filled FL-R1-25 RCS fuel tank, a Mk16-XL Parachute, 6 radial drogue chutes. It only weighed about 11.5 tons when half-filled. The only mod I am using is MechJeb.

Can you please provide the craft file and a game save. It may be possible that you turned down your engines to minimal throttle during your docking maneuver (common practice) and forgot when you were looking at your figures.
