Lifters! So you spent hours designing that space station/ship/thing, and now you no longer have the patience to start designing lifters? "Munshine Lifters" hasn't updated for a while, so I'm posting lifters that i use i think they are pretty similar. Configured in the most efficient way, bringing a 15.3% payload fraction into a 70km~75km Kerbin orbit, and fly very smoothly. Prices: 18 tons - 40,650$ 54 tons - 122,780$ 72 tons - 161,886$ 90 tons - 203,960$ 126 tons - 285,140$ 162 tons - 366,392$ 324 tons - 730,632$ Some come with a flat-top configuration, for more payload clearance: Launch profile: - 6,000 m: pitch down to 80° (324t lifter: 70°) - 10,000m: 55° (324t lifter: 45°) - 25,000m: 45° - 30,000m: 30° - 35,000m: 20° - 45,000m: 10° - 50,000m: pitch down to horizon, reduce throttle and go to map view - kill throttle when apoapsis is at 70km~75km - Get to apoapsis, circularize.
