VAB roof to orbit


AeroGav

Recommended Posts

Anyone done this before me ?

As in, landed a fuelled SSTO on the helipad on the VAB roof - then flown to orbit afterward ?

The challenge I was participating in outlawed VTOL engines, so it had to be done with aerodynamic lift only.     The landing was ... challenging.    It was worth it for the takeoff though, felt like a re-enactment of the Doolittle Raid, WW2
