IPP- interplanetary probe launcher!

[Shadoworgon]

Ever since i heard about the addition of planets in .17 i started the design and testing of a probe launch system to get probes around every single planet that was going to be added

I present to you The IPP launch system! With this I have been able to get to Duna and Eve, and barely able to make a stable (low) orbit around Jool

Powered by an initial stage of 6 solid rockets, a liquid engine, plus an additional 3 at a later stage.

once its safely out of the atmosphere the cruise stage ,powered by 3 nuclear rockets, engages and puts you into solar orbit with plenty of fuel to get where ever you want

the probe at the top can practically be anything (small) you want! from orbiting Sats to small planetary rovers.

Any resemblance to NASA's Delta II rockets is purely by accident...*cough*not*cough*

I'll post the craft file if anyone wants it. You'll need MechJeb, NovaPunch pack, Tosh's cart mod, and MMI (let me know if i forgot anything else)

The craft thats attached is configured (and named ) for a mission to Eve with a small rover at the top but its simple to change that out for other planet missions

Nice craft! Looks a bit explode-y... So perfect!

I also happen to be interested in how the heck you did that imgur thing...
