Description

Tiny satellite with solar power, seating for one, RCS, and miniature docking port?

Launcher to bring it to space?

Done and Done!

A stock rocket called ChairSat DL1. Built with 33 of the finest parts, its root part is batteryBankMini.

Based on the ChairSat Ly, the DL1 has a considerably-larger upper stage/spacecraft, with additional fuel tankage (mounted forwards of the command seat), RCS and monopropellant tankage, and, most importantly, a nose-mounted Clamp-O-Tron Jr. docking port to allow for orbital hookups. To lift this heavier craft, the first stage uses a Reliant engine rather than the Ly’s Swivel; the Reliant is lighter, more powerful, more efficient in the lower-to-mid-atmosphere, and cheaper than the Swivel, while its lack of thrust-vectoring capability is a nonissue given the first stage’s trio of aerodynamic control fins.

Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.11.2.
