Description
A stock rocket called Donkey IId. Built with 80 of the finest parts, its root part is probeCoreOcto2.v2.
Similar to, and derived from, the earlier Donkey II, another relaysat launched by an all-solid-fuel rocket. The IId uses the much-more-powerful RA-100 antenna (compare to the II’s trio of RA-2s), and gets power from a pair of huge Gigantor XL solar arrays (instead of the II’s pair of SP-L 1x6 arrays); to compensate for the increased mass of the RA-100 and the Gigantors, the IId has a set of four strap-on Hammers to help it get up to speed, and also trims off 0.16 tonnes of extra mass here and there by replacing the II’s four tail fins with slightly-lighter AV-R8 winglets and using four RCS quads on the satellite (instead of the II’s twelve unidirectional RCS ports). All of this not only compensates for the heavy satellite, but, in fact, gives the vehicle more than enough Δv to break free of Kerbin’s gravity well entirely (I was able to send it onto an Eve-crossing kerbolocentric orbit without using any of the relaysat’s onboard monopropellant supply at all).
Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.8.0.
