JNSQ X-4 Tanto SSTO

Tanto on its way to orbit in Kerbal Space Programm with the Je ne sais quoi mod.

JNSQ takes place in a system with 2.5x the size, meaning orbital velocities are higher and crafts have to be redesigned to cope with the higher demands in reaching orbit or reentering from orbit.

The Tanto is equipped with 6x Rapier engines, 3x Wolfhound engines and 2x Nerv engines to be able to reach a low kerbin orbit with an orbital velocity of 3.800 m/s.

It has enough fuel left to reach Kerbins second small moon, Minmus, and use its mining equipment there to replenish its fuel tanks for further voyages.

It can handle the heat from low kerbin reentry as well.

Tanto is a ISRU equipped SSTO with enough fuel left, to get from JNSQ low Kerbin orbit to Minmus for refueling.

Rapiers handle take off and flight to 1500 - 1600 m/s.
From there on, Wolfhounds and Nerv accelerate to orbital velocities of 3.800 m/s.

Nervs handle interpantary burns and landing on Minmus.

Reentry from a low Kerbin orbit and a successful landing.
