Hope you like the idea, design and concept.

Special thanks to Scott Manley for giving me the idea to have another try and making this thing work.

RTG Powered Prototype

During flight tests this thing flew 1/3 of the way around kerbin, with a max altitude of 18'000m and max speed of 200m/s.

Fully Solar powered final craft.

Runs at 10FPS with minimal settings, 338 parts, 250 solar panels.

I preferred the RTG prototype.
