Crash while interplanetary payload landing

I experienced this as well and reported it using the in-game crash reporting tool many times. As daijun says it appears random but I believe it may only happen if the destination planet is selected while the payload is landing. At least once I saw it crash in the few frames the payload was in flight prior to landing on the target planet. I ended up turning off all my lanuchers due to the crash but when I did need to send things I found that if I selected a non-target asteroid and also kept the starmap openwhile the payloads were landing  I didn't get the crash. I did this a few dozen times but it could still be that I just got lucky.

Also, each time I got the crash when I reloaded the game and the same payload was sent I didn't get the crash, so it could have something to do with how long the game had been running - or, just random luck.

Can also confirm getting this error in the Live Branch. I've been trying a couple different things to avoid the crash. Thankfully, my save file is from right before I started sending packets, but so far attempts to perform the sending have all crashed while packets are landing on the target asteroid.

EDIT: switching to the Space Map, and staying on that view until the packets had all arrived, resulted in the game NOT crashing. So this may be a workaround for this issue until it gets properly fixed.
