OPT Mark IV SSTO cargo

[gilflo]

Build around the Mark IV Vulture cockpit and 2 OPT J61 engines, here is there RedVulture, high TWR  SSTO cargo, able of a minimum payload of 33T

Strut to support high g load in red zone

Reach 100km Kerbin orbit with still 72% Fuel with a 33T payload

Re dockable freight to bring back to Kerbin accepted

Balanced with RCS Build aids to get easy Take off-full fuel with payload and Landing-low fuel with payload.

No Oxydizer need except for cockpit Vernor engines used for re-entry

Very easy to fly to orbit

Remote controls equipped for test flight

Strong automatic electric circuit.

Aerobatics fliable when empty!

 

Delivering AESV

AESV for autonomous exploration science vehicle for Low gravity planet like Mun

This Spaceship is also a rover, a science ship and an flying explorer for KSP 1.0.5

A perfect very long range flying lab for planet surface exploration and interplanetary flight !!

It is perfectly balanced, the COM does not move with fuel consumption.

Equipped for remote test flight.

 

Its 4 tweakscaled nuclear lightbulb engines from Atomic Age give it 10400 DV which allow very long interplanetary transfert far beyond Jool. They are cooled by means of 4 AHMS from Heat Management, working automatically, but sometimes you will have to run each pump to allow NH3 cooling liquid to refill. In addition there is 4 deployable radiators.

They are vectored with Hinges from Infernal Robotics that allow horizontal flight as well as vertical flight over low gravity planet surface for exploration.

Hovering has never been so easy with the preset values.

Avoid using full power when moving hinges. 

It is perfectly balanced and easy to pilot in any mod. Hinges Values are preset and will be indicated in technical

Its 4 Karbonite mini drills coupled with a Converter leave it free from any refueling station or refinery, provided you have send a ship to scan for Karbonite and map the planet you want to explore.

An internal electric network working automatically leaves you free with all maneuvers needing electricity, even when engines not running.
