Reminds me of my SSTO :D

The internals on my SSTO are actually quite similar to the designs of your SSTO :D

Overall design based off of the rumored "Aurora" spy plane project. Four Rapiers and 1 Nerv for orbital maneuvers. Even with my poor SSTO ascent profile it still makes it to orbit with a 1/4 tank of fuel left... perfect for putting satellites up, crew transfers, and station maintenance. After hitting up my orbital refueling station, it's good to go a bit further...

Last pic is of a Rover+skycrane assembly deployment to the mun... the Rover barely fit in the bay, and the skycrane is sitting behind it. After detaching the payload, it then becomes necessary to dock the skycrane to the rover in order to continue with the mission. A bit technical out of necessity but it worked like a charm.

I'm trying to make this work...

It hasn't reached orbit yet, but it most definitely has the fuel load and propulsion to do so.

If anyone's willing to help me nail down a workable flight profile (I suck at flying 1.02 SSTOs), I'd be happy to send the craft file.

A series of untested SSTOs, feel free to contact me for testing these :D These SSTOs are intended for Sparrowhawk's new Hawkling Series of 1.0 SSTOs :D

HAWKLING SERIES SSTOs PREVIEW

TESTERS WANTED!!

I would test these. I love flying SSTO's.

Thread of the month means it's stuck for a month, if they were never unstuck we'd gradually clog up the whole page with stickies.

Can't help but think it'd be worth leaving this and the stations threads as permanent fixtures as general inspiration threads and so we don't get clogged up with lots of minor threads (to be honest, I was always under the impression that was why they were sticky - hadn't realised we have threads of the month).

Hi All

My nutty Chiefengineer Bi... errr... well... ah yes,...

...we have sienced the sience of massive SSTO overpowering in Stock 1.0.2

Thats all.

The Craft Name is ​BLOCK fOUR b and it can lift 185 tons to LKO 100x100 (or more...)

Below is a downloadlink for the craftfile:

Maybe you need a fast PC, there are some engines taped to it.

And get Kerbal Joint reinforcement, really :wink:

FAQs:

- does it fly? - sure

- can it land? - sure, depends on you

- why does my computer burn up? - i really do not know

- it looks dangerous, is it? - sure

- can i put my Kerbals in careerplay into it? - sure

- how many? - enough

- can i put a fairing to the payloadmounting? - sure, as you wish

- it flys like a pregnant swan, is this intended? - sure

- you forgot to put some A.I.R.B.R.A.K.E.S. to it, thats not good... - sure

Typo, sure:)

I built it to see if I could build a SSTO that could lift heavy cargo, and cargo of every kind.

Turns out it can lift everything I need to explore the kerbol system (all-stock) and at 96% refund cost upon landing I can explore cheaply.
