Intrepid-2


Recommended Posts

This is my second orbit-capable multistage rocket! She's very straight forward, a liiiiiiitle finiky at liftoff, but very stable in the later stages- as a test I lifted her off and just went hell for broke vertical... now running on ion engines at about 11km/s at 4,600km from the pad.

Pretty sure you could swap the ion engine out for a payload, not tried yet.

LOTS of fuel- could be possible to do a transfer if there was somewhere else to go and your math was good

NOTE: On liftoff zero your throttle and ramp her up SLOWLY - otherwise the first stage liquid will go through the center of the rocket and into the command capsule. LITTLE bit op but once she gets going you'll love it! DO NOT EXCEED 25% THRUST ON INITIAL STAGE UNTIL BOOSTERS HAVE SEPARATED. Trust me. It will end badly otherwise. Oh, and engage SAS before launch.

Requires:

Mechanical Mouse Industries Ion Engine Pack

MTS Ltd. Tuned S.A.S Set

Silisko Industries Doughnut Research & Spacecraft Development Pack

Heat management pack

... I think that's it.

EDIT: AND Eclypse (Ltd) Space Division parts pack v1
