Share your deorbit tugs!

[XOIIO]

Hey all, with asteroids, and now several ships stuck in orbit since they don't have enough fuel to pull an asteroid all the way to where I want it, and various other bits of debris I've decided I finally need a deorbit tug, a "cheap", easy to launch ship to latch on, kill velocity, and burn up/crash with the rest of it, I came up with this. It has enough delta v to deorbit anything in a modest orbit altitude around kerbin, is fairly lightweight, (same as the spaceplane I made and can't fly) and "cheap"

Too tired to make a launcher for it today but it will be pretty simple to do.

I like the design, but you lose about 1/2 your useable thrust with that extreme an engine angle...but I guess that really doesn't matter with 3500 DV

Hmmm...

I did add a special module on my just-deorbited space station to aid with orbit corrections and the deorbiting, so would that count? I'm planning to reuse it on my next station anyway, with 1 or 2 modifications.

Actually, a .79 TWR and 3500 DV is HUGE, plenty to deorbit oh, i don't know...a small moon?

I do see alot of things I like, and so many possibilities...

I'm starting to put some things in higher orbits, though right now just a satellite in geostationary orbit so far, I figure when I have stuff at 500km orbits I will need a bit more DV to take them down, and I have an asteroid tug without fuel at a pretty eccentric orbit.

Also... that's no moon... lol

I'm guessing that's about 30 degrees, which only makes him lose about 13% DV.
