Enceadus Crew Shuttle [Stock]

[xoknight]

This took 2 weeks of planning, building and perfecting, the Encleadus Shuttle (there were originally 12 variants). It's a small shuttle that can carries 4 Kerbals to LKO (70-120 km orbit), is exactly 101 parts! (u mad?) and is HARD to fly... It comes with it's own launcher (Space Shuttle style... kinda) and the shuttle is equipped with it's own power supply, mono propellant for RCS (in the cabins/pods), and a docking port for transporting supplies.

ACTION GROUPS: 1-Balancing engine shutdown

2-Ladders

INSTRUCTIONS:

-Fill crew in the SPH before launch

-Full throttle, SAS ON

-Liftoff (stage)

-(Watch the fuel carefully) Once the side-boosters run out of fuel, IMMEDIATELY stage)

-(IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BOOSTER SEPARATION) Gravity turn to 60 degrees at 10,000m

-Gravity turn to 50 degrees at 20,000m

-Action Group 1 at 30,000m

-Fine tune apoapsis to 70km (or more)

-On the LV-45 engine, set Thrust Limiter to 85%

-Circularize (Watch External fuel tanks, fuel levels carefully) As you're burning, slowly adjust the Thrust limiter to about 65%.

-Stage once the fuel in the External Fuel tank runs out

-When landing, I don't recommend using brakes

Of course you don't need to follow these instructions, just have fun! Try it yourself!, Experiment!.
