Kronos V: All-Purpose Lander/Return Vehicle [0.16 STOCK]


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I decided to build a general-purpose vehicle that would be useful in many situations. I came up with the Kronos V, a 5-stage beautifully compact rocket capable of delivering 3 Kerbalnauts to Munar or Minmusar surfaces and returning them safely to Kerbin.

It carries ample fuel to handle one or two trajectory mistakes, and to precisely choose your landing spot on either extraplanatary body. Flight instructions are very simple, just jettison a stage when it\'s empty. Start your gravity turn as soon as the second stage is spent (any sooner and it will hit your rocket when jettisoned). A nice gradual one works best.

To reach your destination without leaving any orbital garbage, just jettison the third stage before your periapsis is above 68km, and jettison the fourth stage while still in the gravity well of the body you are visiting.

This has been another quality Chronic release. Enjoy!
