gilflo Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Here is my VTOL Shuttles fleet for Mars: On foreground, the biggest one will be launched by a big rocket. It contains a Big Converter Driller fit with a KAS Fuel station to supply all Shuttle with LF. Every Shuttle is equipped with 2 KAS Socket for the supply line. In the middle, the Shuttle takes à Mars Base in its center hold. In the back we have a Shuttle with a 8 crew compartment, a Lab and a rover in its belly. Near the building is the Driller Converter Here is the vertical Rocket with the biggest Shuttle. all other Shuttle will be Stratolaunched Take off of the first Shuttle that contains a ScanSat Satellite to draw a map Of Mars and find the best Ore Spot to land and establish a Base. The Suttle is automatic, and the Stratolauncher is piloted by 2 kerbals. Take off weight is around 3500T At 50 kms in suborbital flight, the shuttle is launched and begins its climb on 2 LH2O side rockets. Then it finishes the climb to 170 kms orbit where we get 14 to 15000 DV left for Mars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilflo Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Once orbiting Mars, the Shuttle has launched the Satellite and a map was drawn to find the best landing site which is in the Yellow color. I marked a blue waypoint just under Mars equator line determined by the 2 green waypoints. Then it is easy to intersect the equator plane and the Shuttle plane to set a manoeuver point. Here the Stratolaunch vid https://youtu.be/cHVPf97ZchQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
