(Nearly Stock)[Ultra Heavy Lifter over 160 tons to LKO][Terra ad Astra]

[potatobabe]

Stock apart from mechjeb and editing strut strength to 400 shear and 400 normal strength (works without but much less consistently)

Potatocorp presents to you...

TERRA AD ASTRA (Latin for "earth to stars")

[ATTACH=CONFIG]34760[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]34761[/ATTACH]

Stats:

Payload capability (tested up to 160 Tons)

Stages: 11

Design: Double Asparagus design (madness)

Weight on launchpad 993.9 tons

Usage: Lifting extremely heavy things

Stability: Moderately low (sorry)

A super heavy lifter capable of lifting a payload of over 160 tons to LKO,

Pictured: Using the lifter but different payload than given in craft file.

This lifter will allow you to use crazy heavy landers, or orbit large space stations/fuel depots, (Coming soon)

(The pictured craft is shown lifting a payload of only 100tons) as the 160 ton payload is not stock

Usage directions:

Warning may cause many FPS issues, not recommended for an older computer.

I strongly recommend editing strut strength and shear strength to 400 for consistency.

0. In VAB replace anything above stage 5 with your payload (a heavy lander is attached in craft file)

1. 1st Throttle up to 100% Turn on ASAS and launch, position clear of the launch tower or it will explode.

2. Outer 3 stages will get it up to approx 10km, full throttle.

3. Wait for first of the inner stages to be released before attempting gravity turn.

4. Do gravity turn (cross fingers and quicksave like hell)

5. You all know how to orbit

6. Modify to your purposes.

Sorry about tiny pics I dont know why it did that

[AmpsterMan]

Nice! I had problems designing a lifter that can carry 50tn to LKO. I like

[The Destroyer]

150 TONS?

That means it can ALMOST carry a red dwarf to orbit

Er, if it uses any mods or edited parts whatsoever, it's not stock..

Yeah I guess... I'll be more clear next time

craft file is blank and cant see the pics...is this still available?

[Monkeystador]

Yeah no stock. I just used a small fuel pod and a little engine and editted only fuel consumption and thrust. Its nearly stock and can carry 200tons to Geostationary Orbit.
