What is Knes mod?

This is a stockalike parts mod that allows you to create French rockets and european Ariane family & Some Conceptual spacecraft never builded.
The mod adds many number of parts, including launchers and spacecraft parts in a stockalike style.
Early French Rocket (with CatPod to reproduce the first launch of a Cat in space by Veronique Rocket in 1963),
Ariane 5 in 3.75 m Size, Ariane 1, 2, 3 & 4 all variant, European and French Hermes Space Shuttle, IXV, ATV, Viking Capsule and more... 
This mod is made for Kerbals, not to recreate real rockets with the same performance.

 

Supported mods by Compatibility patch ( Module Manager Required for patch):

- Kerbal inventory system(KIS)
- MechJeb
Tweakscale 
Pathfinder (Patch by @Space Kadet )
CryoTanks (Patch by @Zorg )  Recommanded for people who want more realistic cryogenic fuel

Optional Dependencies

RetractableLiftingSurface ( Add a steerable Parafoil )

I did notice it's lightly smaller but that just means it's easier to put in a fairing

Yes exactly, and you don't need anymore elevon for control, just SAS.

But the launch is always a problem, i have made a module "Safe System" with big reaction wheels to control the lift (also escape system) Work fine with Mechjeb autopilot, see the Craft Files

Oh this looks beautiful

May I suggest that you edit the link on spacedock, it's broken,and any time I click it, it simply reloads the spacedock page. It's important cause I can't find this forum through a google search

I see no problem with the link, everything works well for me and there is already 278 download. Please retry :/, Anybody others has a problem with the link?

The way you docked it reminds me of the DreamChaser, which is currently for cargo.

So many Concept of space shuttle, have plannified a dock in the back.

HL-20 / HL-42 / Hermes / Dreamchaser / Biconic.... and so many other

My best version is the Hermes with MTFF station :
