    Looking good, looking forward to seeing how it flies :)

    And the badges, get the image link (right click the badge you got and select "copy address") and then go to the forum "Account settings" (in your personal menu top right of the page), then "signature", and paste the link in the big text box there. It should change the image link to an image itself.

    Thanks a lot!

    Welcome to the challenge :)

    I'm not sure if we already had a MK1 shuttle in this thread, it's definitely not a common thing...I like it :)
    These are some powerful boosters for such a small, non-cargo shuttle. You may want to consider to reduce the thrust at launch to prevent reentry effects on your way up ;)
    Beside of that, your shuttle performs very well, really unfortunate that you missed the runway though.

    Congratulations to your first badge :)

    If you want to continue this challenge, and I really hope so, I have a little request: Please don't cut the screenshots. If you want to emphasis a detail on the picture, you can write a comment about it in the imgur album. For example: When you cut out just the orbital info display, there is absolute no way to tell, if these numbers are actually from this flight. Just post the full screenshot and write "orbital parameters" or something like this on it ;)

     

    Regarding the chute:

    I cannot remember a rule which prohibit the usage of chutes in "mid air". You may get a problem, when you land the orbiter by using just chutes since it is technically not a horizontal landing which is required (definition of an orbiter in the OP) but it is totally fine to fire a chute during the descent to slow down a bit more or just by accident :)

    Thanks for the badge! I will heed all of your recommendations in further missions. I wasn't sure about the imgur albums and your tips are definitely helpful. 

    Thanks for all the feedback and I will be back soon with my STS-1b Mission. :)

     

    p.s. How do I attach the badge to my posts and replies? Kinda new on this forum.
