[0.90] Sputnik 8K71PS

[sgt_flyer]

Hello !

Here's a sputnik 8K71PS i fully remade for KSP 0.90

Still with a full launch pad to accomodate the rocket

The album :

Javascript is disabled. View full album

now, some stats

The rocket with the launch pad stands in at 841 parts.

now, for those interested in stats (and some will ask me ^^):

liftoff mass / twr:

182 tons / 1.48 TWR

just before the four boosters flameout :

102 tons / 2.74 TWR

Core stage just after separation (162 parts with Sputnik)

42 tons / 1.42 TWR

core stage just before flameout :

15 tons / 6.28 TWR

Operations :

once, physics kick in, wait a few seconds for the rocket to settle down.

activate ASAS - stability assist

put the throttle to 0

Stage once to fold down the service arms.

stage to activate the engines, and increase gradually the throttle to full before staging to release the rocket

correct as needed before the G turn to keep the prograde marker vertical

inflight, i would suggest to do a Pitchover of a few degrees at around 4000 / 5000 meters, then follow the prograde marker (either with the Prograde ASAS or adjusting yourself in stability assist)

as Kerbin isn't earth, i leave it up to you if you want to try to throttle down to circularize in one burn, or shut the engines and coast to apoapsis to circularize i've added two reaction wheels along with some batteries to help you correct the rocket's attitude for circularization

Here's the file, for those who wish to try it

LINK DOESN"T WORK!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Do you have it still???

@KerBlitz Kerman

It's because the link was generated before mediafire was banned by ksp admins. 

Besides, it'll only work in ksp 0.90

Here's my latest, which worked with the new atmosphere

It's available in the thread below but be warned  the new shape of the puff monopropellant engine broke the craft a bit (there's 1 on top of each booster, which was used for separation - the new shape of the puff is way too big for that)
