Phoenix Resupply Ship [1.0.5]

[*Asterix*]

The Phoenix Resupply Ship

 

SpaceX Dragon Inspired Craft.  Weighs in at 8.6 tons and has a specially built launch vehicle, called Eagle.  The ship itself includes a small 2.5 meter tank and Vector engine for orbital maneuvers and such.  The main body is mostly structural, but it does hold some goodies on the inside.  Here's the exact cargo specs.  *Lacks RCS Thrusters*

- 2 KIS Containers

- 8 KAS Connector Ports

- 10 Toroidal Fuel Tanks

- 8 Monopropellant Tanks (Lacks RCS Blocks)

And on the outside it's got this.

- 2 1x6 Solar Panels

- 2 Small Radiators

- 2 MechJeb Modules (Me and my OCD symmetry)

- Shielded Docking Port

- 4K Battery for Dark Nights (Not to be confused with Dark Knights)

 

The Eagle Launch Vehicle weighs in at 292.6 tons, roundabout.  It should run well with Ascent Guidance or manual control, as I've tested both.  The first stage usually has some fuel left over if you do your gravity turn efficiently, but the fuel in the upper stage is sufficient if you run out before circularization.  If you want, try experimenting with the SRB configuration.  I have a feeling 3 might work better, but try it out anyway.

 

Hope you enjoy using this as station resupply or whatever!
