SpaceShuttle Shorpa : STS Duna Bis, 2 Shuttles mission + Outpost (lots of pics !)
Welcome everyone ! In this thread I'll review my (second) take on the famous STS Challenge.
My first participation was more than a year ago, and I'm starting a new one, which shall include many things I've learned about building rockets since then.
I'm focusing on modules integration, packaging solutions and good-looking contraptions more than trying to be as realistic as possible.
There is no mods in this sandbox but Chatterer.
This might be pic heavy because
STS 2a
This contract required the installation of a few relays on Keostationnary, using the shuttle's bay as cargo holder.
The crew put the craft on a 2:1 orbit at KEO Ap with a 3h30 period. Using 6 sats, this means that every 2 orbits the shuttle would pass 1 hour after the previous satellite, release a new one and so on.
Once the bay was emptied, the shuttle passed 2 times through the atmosphere, and landed on the 3rd pass.
Here's what happenned !
