Adv Science anyone, how to get wide (10M wide telescope) into space

[PB666]

In the other threads there was a discussion about launches that travel from Kerbin to Lathe and back using jets.

That would be unrealistic. Considerable scuff at the exploitative jet, but here is a use for Jets where the might, with the right technology be a use in real life. Granted balancing a Saturn V rocket on the back of a harrier jets flattened cousin would be a task, but this KSP and we don't have to worry to much about 'technical details'.

Im sure the question of what is the telescope's base that is a 4x Scale mod of the 3200L 2M tank (Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tank). It was empty but the extra mass simulates the weight of the reflector.

There are 40 jet engines turbo fan on MK1 jet fuselage with two radial mounted air intakes attached to MGS. the fuselage feeds through the LF tank to the engine. Its got a maximum thrust to weight of 1.7g. If the program allowed it I would make it crewed to land, but since putting on ship on hold while landing other is not part of the game . . . .

Eat your heart out NASA. ;^)

I forgot to add, the separation of the pad from the kerbodyne was tricky, those flares on the edge of the pad are sepratrons, required because the jets still have alot of residual lift,

timing of the kerbodyne fire is immediate and full throttle after decoupling.

Red Iron Cross might like the pad, lol.
