M131 Docking Trainer

Recommended Posts

Due to popular demand (actually, one person), I have updated my old concept of a trainer which delivers two orbiters to space so that players can practice docking without having to fly a rendezvous first. 

The Mark 131 is a single stage to orbit launch vehicle

which delivers two orbiters to a 80-90km orbit. Once in orbit, open the cargo bay and undock the orbiters

and practice docking them to each other

or to the mothership.

The mothership is equipped with lights to assist in dark conditions.

The two orbiters will return their pilots to Kerbin for recovery, but the mothership is not made to return. 

NOTES: Be sure to put pilots in the capsules before launch. Also, docking and undocking the orbiters scrambles their staging sequence, so be sure to reset it before staging.
