Description

1:Whiplash 2:NERV 3:Twitch 4:dock

A stock spaceplane called Epiphany. Built with 49 of the finest parts, its root part is mk2Cockpit.Standard.

Once refueled in space, this spaceplane sports 4.4 km/s dV making it fit for most interplanetary travel. Notably also, it carries 10 krew.

Pilot’s Handbook prescribes this ascent profile:
- gradual climb until speed is building rapidly toward Mach 1
- 5 deg climb toward 10km: you should have 1 km/sec speed by then (use NERV)
- continue 5 deg climb until 1.2 km/s; then kick in NERV and Twitch
- at 20km, nose up to 20 deg
- when time to Ap stops increasing, lower nose to 0 AoA (keep it centered in the yellow ring)
- when prograde (yellow ring) reaches Sfc horizon, hold the nose there.
- wait for positive rate of climb and go to space!

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.7.3.
