Hercules Manned Maneuvering Unit Mk-10

[xoknight]

Well here is the Hercules MMU Mk-10, the latest in MMU technology. The Mk-10 carries a SAS core that provides stable control, has a additional light/torch to illuminate your course, 2 RTG's to power your SAS core and torch, and carries exactly 380 units of fuel! A record holding amount of fuel for the Hercules MMU's! Anyways, what is a MMU, and what does it do? Well, an MMU is a Manned Maneuvering Unit, pretty much a souped-up jetpack designed to carry Kerbals farther than they can ever before than their EVA jetpacks. Since the 0.23 update, Kerbals EVA jetpack only has about 5 units of fuel, compared to what they used to carry, 100 units, so using MMU's has become a necessity. MMU's give more maneuverability, range, and control than the normal jetpacks, so putting some on space stations for moving modules around, transporting crew, or just inspecting crafts can be very useful. Now as have already guessed this is called the Mk-10, and yes there are earlier versions...

-The Hercules MMU Mk-7: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/50133-Manned-Maneuvering-Unit-%28MMU%29-%28EDIT%29 .

The Mk-7 has maneuverability and control, but less fuel.

Also the Mk-7 recently got featured in you tuber Goosexi's 2013 build-off competition:

Guess who won?

-The Hercules MMU Mk-8: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/67453-Hercules-Manned-Maneuvering-Unit-Mk-8-%28IT-S-FINALLY-HERE%21%21%21%29

The Mk-8 carries more fuel, but at a price of maneuverability.

-The Hercules MMU Mk-9: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/68057-Hercules-Manned-Maneuvering-Unit-Mk-9

The Mk-9 carries a bit more fuel than the Mk-7, but less than the Mk-8. It is very maneuverable.

And Mk-1~6 never made past prototype phase.

Impressed yet? Why not try them all? Go ahead! Try them out, see if you like it. You won't be disappointed! Have fun!

The textures are killing my eyes. And I expected this:

But anyway, It's actually a very cool jetpack! Should use it to land on the mun

Yea, I set in on 1/8th resolution because there was something killing my frame rate. Turns out to be a rocket on the launchpad that was 600 parts...

Nice jet pack! Really like! SSI MMU-5?

^, you might want to consider uploading some new pics...

The jetpack is nice enough though a bit too bulky. I guess the extra fuel is a big plus if you do intend to land on the Mun (pics?).

Yea, I will consider that.

And If you think it's bulky, you might want to see my other designs.
