Description

1:engines 2:antenna 3:dock 4:ladder 5:S1 drain/gear B:spoilers

A long-awaited 2024 update of the Nerfjet space exec craft.

It uses my new MaxQ lifter and grew out of the (unpublished) Skyhawk project…

It arrives in space with 6.4 km/s dV and is able to land on the medium-range moons – and get back to space using a small strategic hill (carefully); or better yet, use a Lunar Launch Ramp.


To Launch:
  • SAS Hold & Ignition
  • 50 m/s pitch-down 5 deg
  • raise AP to 80 km
  • [5] to drain S1 fuel (there won’t be any) and lower its landing gear plus [B] to apply brakes
  • then separate; circularize Nerfjet
  • ride down & recover the MaxQ lifter

Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.11.2.
