Hercules Manned Maneuvering Unit Mk-12

[xoknight]

Well guys, the Hercules MMU Mk-12 is here. The versions before the Mk-7, Mk-8,Mk-9, Mk-10, and the Mk-11 can be found below. The Mk-1 through 6 never made it out of the prototype stages. You may be asking what is an MMU? Well an MMU is an MMU is a Manned Maneuvering Unit, pretty much a souped-up jetpack designed to carry Kerbals farther than they can ever before than their EVA jetpacks. MMU's give more maneuverability, range, and control than the normal jetpacks. Given the time, MMU's become a major necessity and tool on your spacecraft or space station. Like for moving modules around, transporting crew, or just inspecting crafts can be very useful.

-The Hercules MMU Mk-7 (original): http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/...%29-%28EDIT%29 .

The Mk-7 has maneuverability and control, but less fuel.

Also the Mk-7 recently got featured in you tuber Goosexi's 2013 build-off competition:

Guess who won?

-The Hercules MMU Mk-8: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/...RE%21%21%21%29

The Mk-8 carries more fuel, but at a price of maneuverability.

-The Hercules MMU Mk-9: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/...ring-Unit-Mk-9

The Mk-9 carries a bit more fuel than the Mk-7, but less than the Mk-8. It is very maneuverable.

-The Hercules MMU Mk-10: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/69150-Hercules-Manned-Maneuvering-Unit-Mk-10

The Mk-10 carries a whopping 380 units of fuel (more than the Mk-7, Mk-8, Mk-9) and is installed with a torch and a SAS wheel. But is bulky.

You won't be disappointed.

Nice craft to carry it to orbit, want to share that one as well?

Oh it.. didn't go quite what I planned it to do.... As in it almost flipped on launch and it's aerodynamically unstable.

I really like your method of releasing it into space. It kinda looks like my own attempt at making a MMU!

Mine's a SSTO though, I've had enough of rocket-flipping action with top-mounted spaceplanes. DreamChaser will have to wait until I get used to FAR.

Nice thing, man!
