Galactic Industries Crew Solutions

[Benji13]

Are you looking for something to destroy with whack-a-kerbal carry your crew in style?

Then you've come to the right place!

(Assuming you said yes)

Introducing Galactic Industries' line of crew transportation vehicles!

So basically I've been messing around in the VAB and I made some rockets that weren't horrible failures so I decided to post them here. I might make more, I might not. We'll see.

 

The CTV-3 'Skyreach'

The CTV-3 (Crew Transport Vehicle, 3 man), Nicknamed 'Skyreach', is great for carrying three crew members to and from an orbital station. It can easily rendezvous and dock with a station in a 500x500km orbit with fuel to spare. The Skyreach is based of the Soyuz rocket used to carry crew to the ISS. It is easy to fly and is stable in the air. Just go full throttle off the pad, then bring it down to two thirds once you've reached 120m/s. I start to turn at 15km but I'm sure there are more efficient ways to get in to orbit.

Comes with a heatshield, solar panels and an abort sequence.

Contains just 48 parts off the pad, down to about 15 by the time you dock.

CTV-1 'Australis'

The CTV-1 'Australis' is designed to carry 1 crew member to a space station in a 500x500km orbit with fuel to de-orbit. The Australis is stable in the air and simple to fly. You only need one third throttle off the pad until the SRB's are empty. The throttle up to full and begin turn at 15km's. Burn until apoapsis is 72km's and circularise once you get there. Then all you have to do is extend your solar panels and rendezvous with your station. 

Features RCS, heatshield, parachutes and short burn times.

Has 37 parts at launch, so won't destroy your framerate.
