Beryllium Lander

[Atimed]

Dear Kerbonauts..

I present you the 5th Generation of my Lander series..

[ Beryllium Lander.. ]

- Stock only..

- Small sized, powerful, lightweight and highly maneuverable rocket..

- Three Stage rocket..

- Capable of landing on both Mun and Minimus..

- Landing on Kerbal requires a low powered descend..

- Perfect for practicing and perfecting space flight..

Stats:

- Weight: ~35 t

- Height: ~13 m

- Width: ~7 m

- Fuel: ~4000 l

- Engines:

- 3x TurboJet

- 3x LV-T45

- 1x LV-909

Feedback is welcome..

Nice rocket, Looks completely like a new design. Keep up the good work.

Wow, that\'s cutting it close! I love these really minimal rockets (in part because I can get good framerates with them ). Honestly I doubted it\'d make it but with a proper flight plan I made it safely back to land with one pixel of fuel left. A majority of the flight was on manual control which was exciting but tough...I\'d prefer a lazier trip.

Moreover, this is making me rethink what\'d be necessary for a Mun > Min leg on a grand tour. Perhaps it WOULD be possible without a massively laggy liftoff from KSC! ;D

This ship can do it:

Got into a Mun orbit, then went to minmus, then landed, then back to mun, landed, then to kerbin, and finally splashed down.

Aboard the Inter-Lunar I. Bill, Jeb and Bob are ready.

Launched into a 100K orbit, then transferred to the Mun.

Left the Munar orbit, and got into a Kerbin orbit,

Transfer to minmus

Captured

Deorbit with enough fuel to land anywhere on the surface.

Landed

Jettison legs and lift off

Back in a Kerbin orbit

Lower orbit and transfer to mun

Captured again.

Pick a landing site

Braking burn

Shoulda kept those legs, eh?

Departure

Deorbiting

In atmo

Stage sep and parachute deploy

Splashdown

20 days later, they\'re finally home.

The craft has enough fuel to select a landing site on both Minmus and the Mun. With better fuel management, one might be able to land back at the KSC, too.

An excellent design. I just wish that you didn\'t have to drop the turbojets with so much fuel left in them.

- Video just got out of processing, you can see my preferred flight path to the Mun and back.. i make it home with 80l of fuel..

P.S. the Beryllium is out of date atm, i managed to make him smaller by 1m and lighter by 1.85t.. so the 'mini' rocket got smaller..

An excellent design. I just wish that you didn\'t have to drop the turbojets with so much fuel left in them.

- You dont drop them until 13km (mach I) at the start of your gravity turn, one key component is that you connect the jet booster it with fuel lines to the center stack... This should solve your problem..

Sorry about that, something went wrong.. (I left it over night)
