Super-heavy SLS-like SpaceY lifter for 1.0.5

[RA3236]

Hello!

I have shared this craft on the Heavy Lifters thread, but without the download. Now I want to share it with you! I present: the SpaceY Super Lifter!

A slightly modded craft that can easily do 200t to orbit with the Emu engines on the last stage. Surprisingly, even in large payload changes of 100+t the bottoms stage TWR does not change that much.

Most of these tests were using an excellent mod called GravityTurn, which I suggest you get to lift larger payloads over 250t. It is an efficient autopilot that can use less then 3000 m/s dv to orbit.

To change payloads, first find the Emu engines. Easily done, they are the bottommost engines. Find the separator for that page and save the stage as a subassembly.

In the default configuration the Emu engines can do orbit and reach the Mun and Minmus. I tested the dv capability of the ship, which was enough to do a Mun-Minmus-Mun-Reentry round trip. Just watch though, all stages have a high TWR.

The ship was originally designed to lift the Taurus HCV with VSR docking ports but other payloads seem to work.

The craft is stable in ascent but needs a lot of tilting for the turn due to the wings.

Mods used:

• SpaceY Lifters and expanded
• Vens stock part revamp
• Taurus HCV pod

Mods highly recommended:

• GravityTurn
• KerbalJointReinforcement

Actually because of its size I don't want to find out  but since it is a Boosted SSTO and a 7.5m I wouldn't be surprised if your launchpad died, in which case add clamps.

I am gonna call @max_creative here: THIS is 2Mt of lifter.

but can it explode the runway? the only thing i ever did capable of exploding it was a flying battleship that used the vtol wings from Quiz Tech aerospace xD

Well you'll have to find out yourself.

After some more testing, the lifter seems to like to go to Eeloo and stay there, however a space station was built around Kerbin for the sake of it. One launch BTW.
