Description

Version 2.1: Prettied up some parts, replaced command pod.

Comes with its own booster that can get it to low kerbin orbit, from there you have >6000 m/s of delta-v to catch a comet. With a good engineer or two onboard it can mine and convert fuel fast enough to run all four nuclear engines at full power continuously. If thrust is well aimed at center of mass it can maintain stability pushing a comet without needing RCS, on SAS alone, at 4X time speed.

Each nuclear arm has a nuclear engine, nuclear power and a mini-grappling arm that can be used to added stability when grappled to an asteroid/comet and fine tuning center of mass aiming.

Comes with a self-assembly robotic arm that will semi-autonomously assemble the spacecraft once in orbit.

Self-Assembly Steps:

Before starting Unlock all robotic arm motors (Custom05 button)
1. Play Sequence 1 controller on the front of the robotic arm (front is the end of the robotic
arm with the three controllers)
2. Once completed and docked with a nuclear arm, undock the nuclear arm from the spacecraft (undock one of the docking ports on the bottom of the nuclear arm)
3. Play Sequence 2 controller
4. Once completed and the nuclear arm is docked with the spacecraft in flight position, undock the bottom of the robotic arm from the spacecraft (the bottom is the end without the three controllers)
5. Play Sequence 3 controller
6. Once complete and the robotic arms is docked with the spacecraft again, undock the front from the nuclear arm.
7. Go to Step 1, repeat until all the nuclear arms are installed in flight position.

A stock rocket called Comet Catcher 2.1. Built with 421 of the finest parts, its root part is SmallTank. Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.12.3.
