This is the entire launch vehicle, total delta-V is ~11600m/s. 5 main stages; the outer SRB's, 6 liquid mainsails, 1 central mainsail, 1 poodle, and then the 4 lander engines on final stage. As I recall I still had the 4th stage attached doing my braking maneuver to orbit Duna, and then was on final stage coming down to the surface.
