Reverse Decoupler?

[sarkun]

Hi there,

I\'ve been wondering is it possible to make a decoupler that would detach a thing BELOW - not ABOVE like right now? If not - would it be possible to create two decouplers, one invisibly thin and fire them the same time?

I ask cause I got this idea for a satellite tug, that would deploy satellites in it\'s wake... (see screenshot).

Decouplers aready detach things below them, you mean the decoupler detaching FROM the thing below it?

You might want to consider using explosive bolts instead of decouplers,they are visually much smaller and unobtrusive.....

Yeah and there\'s a problem with invisibly thin decouplers... think about it I didn\'t think, I just made one and.. well it isn\'t usable, lets just put it that way lol.

perhaps:

.make a rocket with some surface exposed on to (perhaps a ring of Boosters?).

connect the decoupler on top.

attach to that the sattelite.

or perhaps, alter the staging sequence.

I made one for satillie launches. Problem is it is extremely wobbly. If someone could explain why i would probably release it

but if the thing ontop is pulling you can make some neat stuff like this

I managed to fire a rocket of my one sucessfully.

I used radial decouplers.
