Sm3xy Landers. And something Ion flavored.

Brand new for .23, using state of the art Clipping Technologyâ„¢! You too can have a lander that looks vaguely aerodynamic and may even survive reentry!*

This is the baseline Astra series lander. This one piece lander comfortably seats five- one in the nose cockpit and four on the saddles. Thrust is provided by a single poodle engine. It features optional landing lights and 4 parachutes for reentry. Likewise, on-board power is via 2 blutonium rods. She should survive any touchdown below 13m/s and if you're dropping faster than that, you still have fuel. Use some of it to slow your decent, Jeb.

A variant of the baseline model, the Astra WIDE has more fuel and more crew capacity. Did I say more crew? Sure, we've got some blutonium and lights, but the Astra WIDE is a moon sedan with seating for eight. Like the original, it's designed as a one piece lander. She's heavier and drops faster, so keep an eye on the decent with the same philosophy as above. And just to prove we actually landed it...

The pilot should remain seated until the ride has come to a complete stop... Preferably back on Kerbin.

Landers not enough? Need something silly? Something loaded with radioactivity and ions?

The TwerkStar** series of probes is just what the doctor ordered. 001 & 002 (not shown due to patent rights issues) were designed as local orbital satellites. TwerkStar 003 was designed with cosmic touring in mind... And a passing stab at performance. TwerkStar 003 features a satellite core, 8 blutonium rods, 4 large solar panels and 4 small ones. We threw in some communications antennas to give it street cred, some fuel and lots of battery capacity to feed the gluttonous 16 ion drives. These bad boys can drain a 12k unit battery array in sixty second under full burn, taking about three minutes to fully recharge. The break even point on the throttle is just below 1/3. It's the Ferrari of probes! That is to say if a Ferrari did zero to sixty in half an hour. Accelerating will leave you yawning breathlessly, so keep the time dilation handy :)

Look at her go! ...For the next one minute, nine seconds.

Hope you have fun!***

*Batteries not included, some assembly required. Warranty void if reentry takes place.

**Because 'twerk' just seems like such a kerbal word.

***Fun not included. Warranty void if fun occurs. Not responsible for side-affects of 'Fun'.
