Chinese Shenzhou + Longmarch 2F

[1612]

Hi,

I made a Shenzhou in ksp.

This is a mini version with only one kerbal, instead of the real one with seats for three.

The Shenzhou is the chinese Soyuz. China modified a russian Soyuz and came up with the Shenzhou. The Shenzhou is slightly bigger and have more electrical power than the Soyuz.

IMPORTANT Hotkeys

2: This closes the intakes on the capsule and lower the drag.

3: Deploys the solararrays on the servicemodule and the orbitalmodule.

Enter: Activate launch escape system and decouple the capsule from the rocket.

0: Decouple capsule from launch escape system and deploy the chute.

Sitting on the pad.

Shenzhou in all its glory.

And I thought my mini soyuz was good. I will give it a tuch up and maybe add a screenshot in a later post!

If I'm right the first 2F and 3F rockets both blew up killing a total of over 500 people (2F blew up above launch pad and 3F ended up flying into a village and killing some 500 people). But good work though

Yeah you're right.

This looks like a great rocket why hasn't anyone commented on it? I would be proud if I built this!

Meh it's pretty ugly and impractical.

I really like it, but when looking at a Longmarch 2F isn't the payload fairing as wide as the centre stack itself?

Maybe using 2m parts would have been more realistic since you could fit a 1m payload then.

A great looking rocket none the less.

Are you just saying that because it's of Chinese design?

The Shenzhou is not a modified Soyuz. It is based off of it and is slightly bigger than the Soyuz.
