Scream Chaser (A Dream Chaser clone)


Recommended Posts

I'm sure many of you have played around with this idea recently, but here is my version of the Dream Chaser. It's a simple little craft, but I've really enjoyed messing around with it so I figured I would share.

One of the nice things about the new Space plane parts is that the fuselage pieces generate lift. This allows nice compact little vehicles without huge wings. In this case I wanted to replicate the mission profile of the Dream Chaser. The Scream Chaser is not a nut-for-bolt recreation of the real thing, but rather it embodies the purpose of the original vehicle.

The Orbiter seats up to 6 and is lifted to orbit on a hybrid booster. The first stage is solid rocket boosters, and the orbital insertion stage is a Poodle LFO rocket. The Orbiter includes a probe core, so that it may perform missions unmanned. All stages are recoverable.

It uses monopropellant for orbital maneuvering and docks via a rear-hatch.

Reentry is easy, and the vehicle behaves much like it's real life counterpart in the atmosphere. A relatively steep and fast glide-slope is recommended.
