Largest Munar/Minmus spaceplane


Recommended Posts

For this challenge, the requirements are:

-Vessel capable of both atmospheric and spatial flight

-Vessel must have engines, although does not have to use them after reentry.

-Vessel should not be able to jettison its main engines [unless this is a safety feature, say, there is an entire engine pod behind a Kerbin emergency lander vehicle, and it st capable of landing with engine pod still attached].

-Vessel should be capable of Munar or Minmus landing, and return to Kerbin. Otherwise, there is no point to its being a spaceplane.

All SRBs and external fuel tanks are extras, arrange them however you want. Or don\'t have them at all. Its your design.

You may use any kind of capsule, although C7 and especially the Mk3 cockpit are recommended.

Special categories

-Fastest mission [Kerbin to Mun/Minmus to Kerbin to ground]

-Fastest atmospheric flight

-Cargo capacity [What can it drop? Probes? Fuel tanks? Bases?]

My example entry:

The Veto Aerospace Ibis. It was the first \'large spaceplane\' [that is, a spaceplane using a Mk3 cockpit] to reach Minmus. It was unable to return to Kerbin due to pilot error, but the fuel remaining was sufficient. In testing, it has been proven capable of reentry, atmospheric flight, and landing. Modifications such as extra fuel and cargo are possibilities.
