Description
A stock aircraft called KVR Shuttle. Built with 109 of the finest parts, its root part is dockingPort3.
Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.12.3.
NOTE: This craft file is the shuttle only with its integrated Launch Escape System (LES), no lifter.
This shuttle, inspired by BlackBadger’s, is my variant of the Crew Return Vehicle, a concept for a small shuttle vehicle, within the family of the HL-20 and Dream Chaser, to be a lifeboat
for the ISS astronauts. It is designed to land under parachutes like the real life concept, though I have successfully landed the vehicle on the runway conventionally with the landing gear.
It holds a maximum crew capacity of 5 Kerbalnauts, 1 in the cockpit in the nose and 4 in the crew compartment. On orbit, it has approximately 300 m/s of dV. Additionally, it has an integrated LES that is encapsulated within the aeroshell. The control surfaces on the back of the shuttle are true to life regarding their split
control surface design meaning the top control surfaces on deflect upward for pitch up and the bottom control surfaces only deflect downward for pitch down.
One thing you may have to do upon download is either set the shuttle’s RCS thrusters to enabled
or add in an action group for this since that action group I had doesn’t seem to have been carried over for some reason.
Hope you enjoy!
