I can launch all of those in 2 launches for 40k funds, provided they fit inside the fairing. Edit: Actually I think I'll launch that last one separately. Edit 2: No, I'll launch 4 of the first and another 4 of the second. Then I'll launch the other two in a third launch. Also, 135* is that retrograde at all? So a total of 60k funds. Are all the antenna retractable? Can you fit it in a 1.25m fairing? @StupidAndy what do you think? Much cheaper than Brent Edited April 10, 2017 by Skylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reusables Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Here goes my first generation reusable lifter: Retrance ll2 Stock craft with only modded parts being MechJeb2 module. Payload capacity: - 2t to Equatorial LKO.(90~110km) (1.9t to ~150km) - 1.6t to Polar LKO. (90~110km) - 1.1t to Geostationary transfer orbit. - 0.85t to Munar Transfer orbit. Selling on 4000 6000, launch your payload before my budget runs out! Total Weight: 16.720t Dimensions: 18.6m X 1.8m X 1.8m Payload Mount Instructions: Spoiler Payload should have probe core/command module as root part. (If it isn't, re-root it) Detach the lifter from the ore tank, and attach it on the payload. You should offset the lifter to fit in the fairing. You may have to rebuild the fairing. Flight instructions: Spoiler RCS should be enabled to control the ship attitude. Stage manually, MechJeb can't do this properly. Autostage till the third stage. Decouple the second stage manually if MechJeb can't do that. Edit ascent path: Set turn start on reaching 75~80m/s. Turn shape 50~60%. Force Roll climb to 0deg turn/0deg, limit AoA to 5 deg. Recover the first stage with splashdown, and reenter the second stage with Pe on 38km over KSC. (Use FMRS here) + After getting probes to get mun encounter, decreasing Ap is preferable to avoid any failures / save electricity. + If you are going higher, you can easily adjust Pe from Ap with RCS fuel. (Or remaining fuel) If Ap is under geostationary orbit, get Pe over 39~40km or it'll burn up. Deploy fairing before deploying parachute! Whenever Mechjeb freaks out, please fly manually. (Especially with small correction burns) + Please don't engage time acceleration before first stage separation. - If you really want, up to x2 may be okay. + Abort action is implemented; It'll detach all fairings and parachutes. Turn off engines manually. (I think they'll never be uncontrollable... won't they? EDIT: Done the test, with a few fixes. EDIT2: Updated the craft & instructions. @TheEpicSquared Edited April 18, 2017 by Reusables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Especially with small correction burns) Please wait before adding this to the list, I'm running the final test. How is that controlled? Remember only payloads are allowed reaction wheels.

It adds a bit of cost, but certainly worth it. (for recovery) EDIT: Anyone knows how to fix FMRS when it don't want to record stages? It just disable itself...

I can launch a Garrob to 150 km orbit for $12,500 if you are okay with flying on the demo flight. If I get a mass contract I can give you a 20% discount, lowering it to $20,000 a launch. (Which may be lowered later depending on how recovering this rocket goes) I can launch the Zevobar for $25,000, or $20,000 if same contract with Garrobs. I could launch 2 Garrobs at a pop for the same price, but could probably only get to 80 km x 150 km transfer orbit. If your sats can burn with their engines for final orbit, the cost will effectively be halved, for you. Without knowing the mass of the Quaento I can't give you a bid on that. (But it looks too heavy for my rocket.) Edited April 10, 2017 by Brent Kerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
