[Stock craft] BSB 90.100.156 Lifter

[John.E]

Big Smart Booster 90.100.156 (90 Tonnes to 100 Km with 156 Parts)

Yup folks, another 90 ton booster/lifter. Mechjeb friendly for numpty finger flyers such as myself this little baby will hurl 90 tonnes into orbit and still allow you just enough fuel to de-orbit the booster under it's own control.

Inspired by those who have carved the path ahead of myself I present the BSB 90.100.156 orbital delivery system.

MechJeb Notes

Flight Profile. Turn start @ 15Km, Turn end @ 85Km, Orbit 100Km

Getting it in the air

Engage engine, throttle up ( or engage MJ) and at around 70-80% throttle stage to release launch clamps. Sit back, drink tea and watch you little gem hurtle to the stars. The ship copes with auto-stage and auto-warp.

I know these have been done to death, I know this is highly derivative. But, and this is the important bit, I did work it all out by myself without downloading others works and craft files so I am really rather proud of it

I think that if you replaced the middle grey tanks with orange tanks, your launcher will be able to lift 150 tons to LKO.

Cheers for the input Giggle. Once I un-side-track myself from .22 I'll give some remodelling a go. Oh, and by the way, love your Pico ships

Thanks!

Well, not everything that I build is small:

About 105 tons to orbit.

I'm a huge fan of this style rocket. I just wish the nose cones didn't hurt delta V so much.

Nice. More lessons for me here I can see
