MagTech Iridium-TR

[Rhynri]

Repost from the other thread. Perhaps one of the simplest (vanilla) to orbit machines I have used.

Presenting the newest MagTech Rocket, the Iridium-TR! Simple yet functional, this Iridium Class light lifter will put three Kerbal 'Astroneers'© into an orbit with sufficient fuel to bring them home, or push them to the great beyond!

This two stage model model can reach a height of nearly 50km on the primary stage, and achieves 300km at 3300km/sec at second stage burnout, on an unguided vertical launch*.

May this cheap model enable your future endeavors into the final frontier!

*Note: Flight was stabilized. Flight reached a height of 1111K within 10 minutes.

=>Usage notes: An initial set of decouplers will 'decouple' you from the launchpad. If you desire more maneuverability, jettison the previous stage at full burn, your ship will remain attached and in control (see pic). This also eliminates any massive slowdowns the game may or may not be suffering.

I Tested this ship , and its awesome ;D i got into orbit , and still got fuel to go back , thats what i done , but when i got back the parachute didnt worked and we exploded! fun anyway

Did you land on the dark side by any chance? Also, glad it got you into orbit. It almost inserts itself into orbit.

I've been using a similar design with Boosters underneath all three tricoupled engines (boosters were next to useless). I was attempting to perform a orbital flight, and messed up. Still into the flight but it looks like it will end up doing a high elliptical-half orbit

I'll give you the full debrief hopefully in an hours time :'(
