I said the wrong person. Sorry! You can go first.

Nah he can go I'm working out the kinks in my shuttle, trying to get it to have enough Delta-V to bring a small 19 ton payload to orbit. So far I can squeeze about 3.8 km/s out of it, which isn't much considering it has 2 tweakscaled kickbacks to 1.75 meters, and a large mk3 ET fueling 3 KS-25's. The OMS has about 700 M/s on it. Also for some reason it is having roll stability problems. It didn't have those when it had a 2.5 meter ET

You can copy my SP-12 Explorer orbital spaceplane. Or you can go to the most recent save. I have the SP-12 there (I hope).

Cool. I'll use that if I can't get mine to work well. We should try to make the community space station as reusable as possible :D

In that case I'll try to work on the reusability of Columbia LR. 

BTW, if anyone has a klaw, the EFT of my latest launch has a lot of fuel left, and should be near the parking station.

I might actually go. And just use someone elses shuttle. Cause mine isn't really working out....

Its pretty long, Extending a little bit below the shuttle and alot above, trying 2.5 meter kickbacks right now

GL, and maybe try LFB instead of SRBs if that doesn't work.

Yeah, thinking about it. Maybe KS-25 LFB. Also for some reason the shuttle is somewhat aerodynamically unstable

 

 

EDIT: Also the LFB's will have to be non-reusable sadly

The shuttle wants to yaw one way or the other after taking off too..... No idea why.

Just use my SSTO.

AG1 for nuclear engine, AG2 to activate RAPIERs; never use Stage, AG3 to change RAPIER mode, and AG5 for solar panel

I might use yours but my shuttle is "almost" working. It has the delta V, I just need to sort out some of the engine gimbling vs. center of mass position issues, the problem is when I go to yaw, or pitch, or roll, it goes all wonky because the engines are gimbling out of line with the COM. Should be a simple fix, but I'll have to do that tomorrow. I probably will be done sometime tomorrow if not, saturday

@53miner53 Currently launching, will post when done. Launched a habitation extension module using my shuttle. The best thing about my shuttle is that I can fit a full on lander and stuff inside of the cargo bay, take it to LKO, and have the lander transfer from the shuttle. So I can bring modules to the Mun base without having to build a whole disposable rocket

I'm done! Took a TON of photos, this was a very very fun mission for me! If I keep the ET on and refuel the ET at the station, I could take the thing to the moon with a lander in the cargo bay, land, launch, dock back in the cargo bay and go home :D Excuse the pictures being out of order, I uploaded them all at once and some got done before others
