MicroShuttle

[SofusRud]

Haven't given it a proper name. It's similar to the DreamChaser, only with more delta-v and no fairing. Instead the booster uses delta wings, and even then you have to be careful not to flip over in the early ascent.

Carries two Kerbals. Super easy to fly in atmo, very stable, though fuel needs to be balanced a bit before reentry.

Does the booster reach LKO? I ask because otherwise, the recovery value will be much lower, if it has to land on the other side of kerbin. But it looks like it certainly could SSTO... The optional docking module in the bay is a nice touch, BTW. Have you thought about changing the RCS system so you don't have low-temp parts exposed? People don't realize these days how easy those RCS quads melt in the new atmosphere...

Rune. Very economical!

Given the fact there are legs on it and air brakes I would say it is his intention to land the booster.

Oh, that is clear, but he could leave the booster on a high suborbital trajectory while he circularizes the shuttle. I've done it myself... before realizing how "easy" it is to SSTO Kerbin these days.

Rune. All it takes is TWR and boopload of fuel.

the booster doesn't reach LKO, it lands on the peninsula that extends out to the east of the KSC. You get back around 80% of the cost back there.
