Atmospheric Re-entry ring and landing dock.

[The Pav]

This is not a vehicle on it's own but a platform that small craft such a lander dock with. It allows a small, fragile, non-aerodynamic and non heat shielded vessel to survive Kerbin atmospheric re-entry and landing unharmed. The platform contains all fuel, power and systems needed for the decent. I have two sizes, one for very small vessels such as "micro-landers", and one for standard lander sized vehicles. These are the easiest way to return scientific landers and all their materials to the surface of Kerbin for a big science payoff. I'm a noob on this forum and now sure how to post files yet though. If anyone wants these, let me know. Maybe help me figure out this forum

These were done using both Deadly Reentry and FAR.

Really neat! Sort of the opposite of an orbital transfer vehicle!
