Kerbfleet Craft Files: Pogo XLP 6-Passenger SSTO Tailsitter

[Mister Dilsby]

Per request, I'm going to post some of the ships that appear in my comics. First up is a Kerbfleet workhorse, the Pogo XLP. This is a very basic mid-career (that is, no RAPIER) SSTO capable of bringing six Kerbals to LKO and back. Comes fully equipped with an inline shielded docking port and six-axis RCS controls.

I made the Pogo launch and land vertically, mostly to save myself time on routine crew transfers. Not that I don't enjoy spending a half hour of real time getting my glide slope just right and sticking a horizontal landing in the middle of the KSC runway... but yeah.

Attached album gives the flying instructions, Here's the link to its page on KerbalX. Also, here is its first appearance in the comic. Enjoy!
