KT-2A Light Freighter

[Frozen_Heart]

After playing around with the KT-1 for a bit its turned out to be surprisingly successful. However it turned out slightly lacking in payload when the time came to start hauling heavy bases over to Munar orbit.

I quickly went back to the VAB and redid the business end of the KT-1, adding significantly more fuel while still keeping the sleek form of the original.

And so I present the KT-2A

I've kept the same general design of its predecessor along with its high TWR and good aero braking qualities. The additional fuel has provided a modest dV increase but the main new feature is the KT-2As insane payload fraction from LKO to LMO and back. Almost exactly 100%! The ship can make it as far as Duna and return while one way trips to Laythe are possible with significant cargo space.
