SSTO Rocket Chair!

[700NitroXpress]

This is a rocket chair lander that has SSTO capability. This means it can land anywhere, it can land on Kerban without parachutes, it can land on moons and get back into orbit. It can also be refueled in orbit at your ship and then sent back. This uses relatively low fuel for a lander. If you don't need all the power, shut down four of the engines with an action group to save on fuel. Just add a ladder if you need to, otherwise its good to go and has infinite power supply thanks to a single power generator.

Part count: 76

Total Mass: 15.21 tons

Let me guess, that's Jeb flying, isn't it?

No actually, Jeb is on his way to Vall with Bob. Bill is currently on Duna in charge of my Duna Command Center and surface base of operations. This lucky kerbal is Macdon Kerman.

reminds me of something i made a while back...

its a fully working kerbal jet seat. with the lazor system mod its capable of orbit with the use of afterburners. capable of orbiting the sun, that is...

Is it Tylo-capable?

Whats the dV? TWR? Mass-On-Launch?

Total mass is 15.21 tons.

Liquid fuel: 1072

Oxidizer: 1310

Electric charge: 210

I don't use Mech Jeb or any mods at all.

Is it Tylo capable? Well, because we know that Tylo's gravity is 0.8, I would say that it is capable of landing and takeoff. However, I don't know if it could preform both in one mission. But if you made a fuel tank and landed it on Tylo as well, it would be able to refuel on the surface and then launch back into orbit. I know that it can operate on Vall and Moho because I just landed Jeb on Vall as part of the Vall exploration challenge. Vall and Moho have about equal gravity and I have more than enough fuel to achieve orbit and dock.

If you wanted to take it to Tylo, my idea would be to make a bottom attachment for it that has enough fuel and power to handle the descent to the surface, then detach it about 1000 meters or less above the surface and use the lander to go the rest of the way. Then you would be able to get back into orbit with just the lander.

It's primary purpose was to land a kerbal safely on a moon with gravity equal to Moho and then achieve orbit again and dock. So for the purpose of which it was designed, it preforms perfectly.
