Description

7:drain S1/gear 8:xfeed B:spoilers

A new lifter for 2.5 and 3.75m upper stages with inbuilt fairing: MaxQ. Rated for payloads up to 64t.

Two new initiatives in 2024:

  1. all-recoverable lifters
  2. classification of lifters by TWR, dV, payload mass metrics

The upper ADTP-2-3 adapter may be replaced by a Mk3 to 3.75m adapter and connected with a 3.75m separator, when desired.

NOTES:
  • [8] payload xfeed is OFF by default
  • pitch down 5 deg at 70 m/s and raise PA to 75km
  • [B] deploys the tail fins for contra-rotation during the deorbital descent. [7] drains LFOX and lowers a solo landing gear for touch-down. (You may rebind this key however you like.)
  • (ensure [8] xfeed is OFF before draining!)
  • recovery rate is better than 90%.

Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.11.2.


ECO 2024-01-12 added S3-3600 & X200-16 to balance thrust & fuel. 64t to 75km
