[0.16 stock] I made a interplanetary rocket with landing capabilities!


Recommended Posts

Only I dunno how to upload craft-file and a picture of it. Can you advice on this?

I tested it by flying to mun, orbit it, flying to minmus, orbit it, make an escape out of the Kerbin system, went about double the destance of kerbin-kerbol. Only then did I have to switch to lander-engines. I dunno if it can land and take off from anything larger then a moon, but if the planets are closer it should be easily do-able. It has two booster stages, one stage with 6 normal liquid engines, one stage with the big liquid engine and then a lander stage. 3 man capsule and you only have to use the RCS for the first 3 kilometers after take-off. After that it's totally stable and responds very well.

With the lander engines I managed to make it back home and land safely. Lander engines are the final stage, but I think it's possible to make a stage on top of the lander-stage to be able to escape from any planet propperly. Also I wanted to land on minmus on the way back but sadly it wasn't on a propper alignment and I didn't want to waste fuel and not be able to get Neilin (and his companions) back.

Any advice on how to post a picture of it and the craft-file? If I have to upload it anywhere can you guys share a link?
