I have two others named Kerman and Jeb, I cant think of a name for this one, Any Ideas?

[Galacticruler]

well, it might help if we knew what it was designed to do.

also, you'll want that CoL directly ontop of the CoM for optimal lift.

I now about the center of lift but it is not a big problem for what it is designed to do, it is designed to Launch vertically with a External Tank and Boosters, the same as how the NASA shuttle launches.

I built it in order to Launch Small Landers, satellites, Station Parts, into Low Orbit

I've already tested it and it works well, I just need to name it.

Thanks for the tip about the center of lift and mass though.

Since it sounds like it's used to guide other things you could go with something along the lines of Mentor, Companion or Apprentice

Just my input

I do like Companion and Apprentice as a name for it.

Just in case the OP hasen't heard of it: I don't think you're talking about the band. You're talking about the KISS principle. Keep It Simple, Stupid.

Whatever you do, dont have the name start with a C. Both shuttles whose names started with a C exploded. (Challenger and Columbia.)

I named my B9 Shuttles "Defiance", and the Cargo one "Cerberus", maybe a bit of inspiration from the game Battlezone II.

The SS "My wings will be knocked off my the massive drag and mach shockwaves"? ON a more serious note, however, name it the SS Astra. If you don't i'm taking that one for myself!

[bsalis]

From the screenshot I see it already has a name: "Shuttle"

Maybe you could be more elaborate and call it "The Shuttle".

Or if you're adventurous, call it "Space Shuttle".
