Eve SSTO: any possible ways?
Hello!
I'm designing a mission to eve, and it'd be great if I have a SSTO for this.
I know that there were several SSTOs, but I want one which doesn't need any precision manuever and fuel mining time. It'd be better to have long range for science purpose. Is there ANY way to do that?
EDIT: I mean, completely stock SSTO without debug-cheating in flight. Other than that anything is okay.
Okay, It barely made an orbit on Kerbin with nukes & aerospikes configuration.
So it seems that it's nearly impossible to make propeller planes get to orbit.
But there's more configurations to test:
1. Nukes & Vectors
The boost stage needs more TWR to go up faster, so Vectors should be better for this.
2. Nukes only
As spaceplanes can fly in the denser atmosphere with lower TWR, it could be better to optimize the plane for nukes.
