Description

Code Name Valkyrie: 5th Generation of Discovery SSTO Space Plane, with a combination of 2 V shape backward swept wing technology, can stabilize the lifting force that is obtained when in Supersonic speed.

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, when the speed starts to decline turn Nerv Engine on [1] for a few seconds until get a speed of 400+m/s (break the sound barrier) then turn Nerv off [2].

Step 2: Make sure to have a speed of 1.100+m/s before getting 20.000m alt, then at 23.000m Alt maintain speed with all engines [1].

Step 3: Switch RAPIER into ClosedCycle [5] Mode at 30.000m Alt until getting 60.000m Apoapsis with a 45° upward slope.

Step 4: Full Thrust with only Nerv Engine [3] to get 70.000m Periapsis in Prograde Direction with maneuver.

Step 5: Maintain Periapsis and Apoapsis within 70.000m Alt each.

PS: Nerv Engine Liquid Fuel Consume rates
3.06 = 1 Second
183.6 = 1 Minute
918 = 5 Minutes

Fuel Consumption to get the lowest orbit on a certain Planet
Kerbin = 1.700 LqF (70k alt)
Duna = Still Under Research (60k alt)
Laythe = Still Under Research
