Description

1:RAPIER 2:NERV 3:boost 4:dock 5:ladder

A stock spaceplane called Butterfly. Built with 54 of the finest parts, its root part is mk2Cockpit.Inline.

This project’s test pilot, Capt. James (Thaddeus) Kerman, recommends a 10d climb. Speed run at 1km to make Mach 1, followed by a further climb to 12km with NERV in assist. At 12km, level off and then build speed and heat as far as possible, before proceeding into a 10d climb toward 72km.

Push the thrust levers to Fast Forward (AG3) when the jets fall below 10m/s/s (< 100kN); shutdown the RAPIERS when Ap surpasses 70km to rely on NERVa to take you high (e.g. 90km) and then finish the circularization.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.7.3.
