Hermes Mk. IV (light orbital lifter)


Recommended Posts

Today im showing you my first design of a light orbital lifter. The Hermes Mk. IV is designed for orbital satellite deployment.

I made a screenshot series of a short satellite deployment mission (circular orbit 170km above Kerbin)

Lookin\' good! However, could you post a list of the mods you used? Otherwise, The craft file won\'t work.

Changed the description

By the way 170km was just a short demonstration , higher orbits are no problem....

this thing even might get to the mun but I have not tried that yet, it might be a never come back mission ;)
