W.I.P. Space Shuttle


Recommended Posts

My second attempt at making the space shuttle and performs far better than I had expected its capable of achieving a rendezvous with my 185km space station with about 1/3 fuel to spare. Only bad thing is you have to watch the throttle and after dropping the SRBs you have to temporarily shut down top engine on the cluster on the shuttle itself until the orange tank begins overpowering the other two remaining engines. I haven't landed yet... Mostly because I forgot the landing gear so that will be added later and I will continue to improve it and test as I go.

And yes I know the real shuttles orange reserve tank doesn't have an engine but for the sake of making it work I had to compromise.

The mods I used was [KW Rocketry] and [b9 AeroSpace].

Also I forgot to mention behind the cockpit is a 6m cargo hold with a docking port inside satellites small station modules etc.

-Edit

Craft file now up for download note that it is really hard to fly and after a certain point the large tank will overpower the shuttle so undock before that point I lost interest in the build after many versions so I hope somebody can make something of it :) if you can improve it I'd love to see the result

Also just in case there are any mod parts I forgot about on the ship, Mechjeb KW Rocketry and B9 I know are on it for a fact but just in case a part is on the ship I overlooked I have KAS and HullCameraVDS installed.
