Big Poppa VI star traveller


Plymouth

Recommended Posts

So, i\'ve built Big Poppa IV for mun shots before the mun update was released, but when i tried to shoot for mun, Project 'Big Poppa' was too powerfull... recently i\'ve changed the payload for deep space travells(put smaller but much more efficient enginies). So, rocket could get me out of kerbin gravitation with little effort, outside the kerbin gravitation field the payload should reach escape velocity via orbiting the sun.

Here are some pics of the rocket:

So, these four huge SRB\'s get my rocket above 15 km, where i have to decouple them, to prevent the explosion.

Then. the main enginie with three fuel tanks speeds up my rocket to escape velocity, when the fuel is out- i release the payload, get to periapsis point, set my thurster to 100%, set warp time to 2x, and wait untill the fuel is out.Pics:

Using low-powered enginies is very efficient.Pics of me increasing the orbit:

when the fuel of the 2\'nd stage is out, i\'ve decoupled it, and here\'s the last and the easiest stage, that pushed me out of solar system:

Kerbals that agreed to fly were kamikazes anyway... I don\'t really think they\'re going to survive just having a chute, almost ion weak enginie, and a pod. But hey, that\'s a step into right direction!Today Command pod made it out of solar system, next time- it\'s going to be a spaceship, later- the whole stations will be increasing their orbit to make it out of solar system.

P.S. i haven\'t editied cfg files, i\'ve used Challenger pack, Probodobodyne, And some of vanilla parts.
