Monkey B - SSTO probe delivery shuttle.

[Agent86]

Monkey B is a compact, simple and versatile SSTO spaceplane, currently equipped with an ion probe which can be deployed in a 100km circular orbit, leaving enough fuel to deorbit and land under power back at KSP or wherever you feel like.

The probe can be swapped out for a science package, mapping hardware, or what have you. In-orbit refueling is also possible.

Action group 1 shuts down the gas turbine at about 28000m/1800m/s.

Action group 2 starts up 6 rocket engines to burn to orbit.

Action group 3 shuts down two of the rocket engines to correct post-deployment CoT.

Action group 4 deploys the satellite and its solar panels.

I hope someone else has as much fun with it as I did.
