Description
The quad-crew version of the Galileo orbital shuttle is now available and comes mounted on a recoverable launch stage.
Very easy to launch: half throttle; clear of the launchpad, pitch down and engage SAS Sfc Prograde; go full throttle when desired; raise AP to 80km; circularize; then return to S1 launcher for its recovery.
The second stage MP tank is jettisonable/non-recoverable and not strictly necessary but it gives this little orbital shuttle
(think Star Trek; not NASA) full fuel and 1.45 km/s dV upon arrival in orbit.
The shuttle itself is capable of:
* providing space station accommodation
* escape pod capability
* transfer of crew to other orbital craft
* shuttling pax to/fro space planes (that prefer not to dock)
* land/reorbit on/from the surface of the Mun or Minmus
* returning to the surface of Kerbin safely
An additional Mama dock
is provided for spaceplane docking.
(I am likely to back-install the Twin Boar launcher to earlier versions of Galileo. Stay tuned or give it a go
.)
Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.11.2.
