Description
The Shuttlewing is a partially-reusable shuttle based around the Dynawing orbiter (with three KS25 engines) and an external tank to feed them, boosted by a S-1C upgraded from the saturn V. Hailed as the next generation
of cheap access to space, with a payload of up to 16 tons (reference payload included), it is somewhat tricky to fly, as expensive as conventional rockets, and Kraken help you if something explodes on ascent. But it looks great, very futuristic. Flight crews are, of course, queuing up.
The main engines fire roughly through the center of mass. Fly an inverted ascent with the shuttle on the ‘down’ side of the stack, and lead the prograde vector a bit. It’s designed to use up all External Tank propellant on the first burn, horizontal by 45 km and keep burning to end up in a 75 x 0 km orbit
or so. Then stage away the tank, press 6 to disable the main engines, stage again to ignite the OMS engines, and use them to circularize and later deorbit. Fly a high-AoA reentry with RCS control and using brakes to flair the stabilizers to slow down.
A stock rocket called Saturn Shuttle. Built with 179 of the finest parts, its root part is mk3Cockpit.Shuttle.
Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.12.2.
