#Little-Joe-II

Description

The big brother of the Joey.

Used for abort-testing the Acapello capsule, the Kangaroo is a KSP equivalent to the real-life Little Joe II (used for tests of the Apollo launch escape system). It has four boosters (clusters of 24 sepratrons each), providing a brief burst of thrust to get it off the pad, plus two longer-burning Thumper sustainer motors, mimicking the engine arrangement of the Little Joe II used for the A-002 test (different Little Joe IIs had different combinations of boosters and sustainers, ranging from six boosters and a single sustainer to six sustainers and no boosters at all).

During the abort sequence, after the LES burns out and the capsule is a safe distance away from the rocket, press 0 to jettison the spent LES and deploy the capsule’s parachutes.

A stock rocket called Kangaroo. Built with 175 of the finest parts, its root part is LiquidEngineLV-T91.

Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.10.1.
