Description
323k ton spaceplane capable of bringing 2 orange tanks to Mun (70 tons).
Ascent Profile
Keep low until breaking 430 m/s, you may need to enter a shallow dive and activate skippers to break 330 m/s.
As speed increases, gain altitude and level off at 10km. Build speed to 1430 m/s then angle up 10°-15°
At 20km activate NERVs, Skippers, and closed-cycle Rapiers. At apoapsis of 45km deactivate rapiers. Continue ascent and cut skippers when 2-3k oxidizer left in tanks (not including cargo), this will be used for Mun landing.
Mun
At mun slow orbit with NERVs until descending at 25° then fire skippers to reduce speed to a manageable level. Wnen approaching ground use skippers as needed to further reduce speed to a range the NERVs can handle.
Mun Ascent
Use thuds in front bay to nose up about 60°, then switch to NERVs. There is some locked spare oxidizer in the bay for a few seconds burn.
