Description

0:Cubs

An intelligent tank named Intellitank. Built in the KSP 1.11.2 VAB with 56 parts.

I enjoyed building 1x standard payload named Orangutan recently. It had the capability, once docked to a space station, to eject itself into a de-orbit and land safely on the surface for recovery. What fun?!, I thought.

With Intellitank, I decided to go nuts. If you take this to space, it will do the rest! Rendez-vous, dock, refuel, recycle…

Ascent:
  • SAS Sfc Hold; pin both tanks open; ignition
  • 30m/s SAS Sfc PRO
  • 8km SAS Orb PRO
  • make AP:72km and coast
  • jettison fairings at 50km
  • pump fuel from upper tank to lower tank and begin the circularization after 70km
  • whenever desired, cut-off; pump fuel back to Intellitank
  • stage and then continue circ
  • switch back to S1 Minimus and ride it down for recovery

Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.11.2.
