North Star Aerospace - Planes, Spaceplanes and Rockets!

[SargeRho]

Welcome to North Star Aerospace, the home of overpowered rockets!

We offer a wide range of aerospace-craft, ranging from small crew launch rockets over SSTOs to heavy inter-planetary rockets.

In the near future, we will also offer planetary landers.

Can you tell us exactly what craft use which mods and maybe some pics of the rockets in action? Also, flight instructions

[SargeRho]

All rockets use Nova Punch, the Phoenix uses radial boosters, Keres 1 and the Humongous Load Launcher also use Radial boosters. The advanced decoupler was only used for payloads, not for the carrier rocket itself. The Humongous Load Launcher uses the Radial Parachutes.

As for flight instructions: the rockets are flown like any normal rocket, and the S1 Valkyrie in a 60° Angle up to around 40km. Cut the engines, and wait until you are at the Apoapsis for a second orbit-insertion burn. Fly at 70-75% thrust

Guess I'll have to change group name? http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/showthread.php/16772-North-Star-Aerospace-Grand-Opening-Salamander-Prototype

You can have North Star, Im deciding on changing mine to Diamond Baron. Just next time take care to do a thread search.

Oh...I didn't see that one. Sorry :/

I chose North Star Aerospace, as a refference to the North Star Alliance in Ground Control II. The character I based my name on - Sergeant Rho - is part of that faction.

Video added to the first post.
