Took a little to figure out how to cobble it together... although as I write this I'm having a DOH! moment of wondering if one of the craft files did it already... LOL...

Anywho... I'd love to see a lander that can fit in the "petal" adapter tho. I can't seem to come up with one that doesn't overlap the SPS engine...

Speaking of... the SPS engine is monopropellant powered now??? Is that how it was IRL? I thought it was hypergolic... although that's not a KSP fuel option.

It was hypergolic NTO/AZ50 in real life. 315s specific impulse, 91.2kN thrust. Pressure-fed, and an eventual derivative of the first US sounding rocket engine (on the WAC Corporal), and a direct descendent of the Able upper stage on Vanguard (renamed Delta for NASA, hence the Thor-Delta and then just Delta LV).
