Code Name Hyperion: Smallest Version yet the fastest one of the 5th Generation SSTO Discovery Space Plane to reduce the weight of an Interplanetary Space Journey, with a capacity of 2 passengers, 1 pilot, and other

Capable of breaking the Sound Barrier and escaping the atmosphere of the planet. is designed to escape from an atmosphere whose density is equal to or lower than Kerbin.

How to Orbit Kerbin 101

Step 1: Maintain a 10° Upward Slope until get a speed of 400+m/s (break the sound barrier).

Step 2: At speed 700m/s, maintain the Angle of Attack (AOA) to 15° to get thin atmosphere at higher alt, then change AOA to 5-10° to decrease distance of Periapsis to <400km.

Step 3: at 23.000m alt active the TERRIER Engine to boost speed (>1.400m/s) in Prograde Direction.

Step 4: Switch RAPIER into ClosedCycle [0] Mode at 30.000m Alt until getting 60.000m Apoapsis with a 30° upward slope.

Step 5: Lower the Thrust with only TERRIER Engine [9] to decrease time to reach Apoapsis in Prograde Direction.

Step 6: Maintain Periapsis and Apoapsis within 70.000m Alt each.
