Introduction

Energia II, named Uragan (Russian: Ураган, Hurricane), was a rocket design proposed in the late 1980s to be fully reusable with the capability to land on a conventional airfield. Unlike the Energia-Buran, which was planned to be semi-reusable (like the U.S. Space Shuttle), the Uragan concept was to have allowed the complete recovery of all Buran/Energia elements, like the original, totally reusable Orbiter/Booster concept of the U.S. Shuttle. The Energia II core as proposed would be capable of re-entering and gliding to a landing.

Flight instruction

  1. Take a steep ascend profile, belly up, your pitch should be around 45 deg to the surface when you are at 20km in altitude.
  2. To open the cargo bay, first press 7 to unlock the docking ports and then press 6 to open it. To close it just press 6 again
  3. For reentry, shut down the main engines by press 1 and press 2 to use the smaller reliant engine for deorbiting.
  4. During reentry, choose prograde and press 9 so the craft will orient it self in to reentry pitch angle, use Q/E to control ur trajectory, airbrakes for speed.
  5. For final approach, press 0 to the nav ball to return to it flight mode
  6. Make sure u have some speed to pitch up, if the craft seems unresponsive u can toggle 1 to use your main engine thrust to gain some pitch angle and speed, u can also try max out the authority limiter of the control surfaces of the mainwing.

Booster recovery

  1. To deploy the wings of the side booster first make sure to stage all the decouplers on it
  2. press 1 to deploy the wings.
  3. press 2 to lock the wing in place, MAKE SURE THE WING ARE LOCKED OR IT WONT BE CONTROLLABLE, u can check if its lock or not by right click on the servo at the base of the main wing, after that fly it like a glider (a really bad glider, so watch your speed)
