Daphy - Long Range SSTO

Recommended Posts

The Daphy was an SSTO designed for carrying a rover on the moon of Moach, from the planet pack Beyond Jool. However, after deciding to do a test flight to LKO as a joke, I discovered it had enough dV to reach Minmus. And so, some retrofits later, it is now ready for public use.

The Daphy has been proven to land on Minmus, Pol, Bop and the modded Kotta and Moach (Beyond Jool). The only stock bodies it cannot return from are Eve, Tylo and Duna/Vall (here because I dunno). Laythe may be possible, though it seems sketchy.

Also available is the Potatus Rover, which was built for the sole purpose of fitting in the Daphy's bay and nothing else. It has a suite of science experiments, though don't expect good performance, this rover only existed for a challenge. Note that the rover contains rockets to assist docking to the Daphy. To dock, drive into the Daphy's bay backwards, then dock to the MK2 inline. For deployment, simply open the main bay.

Download the Daphy and Potatus Rover from KerbalX, and see just how far you can push this affront to the Kraken.

[NOTE - Be careful on 4x warp when burning with the NERVS - It does not ascend that well from Kerbin, but is possible with some interesting flying - Plane is unstable on low fuel levels.]
