Description
The Libra Orbit is a low-tech space shuttle which can bring two passengers to ships or stations in low Kerbin orbit.
Libra does not like to take off. You could move the rear wheels forwards, though that risks a tail strike, or you can just pitch up at the end of the runway.
Ascend using the Panthers’ afterburners, which will get you to around 800m/s at an altitude of 18km. There, you can drop the jet engines and ascend on the Terriers. I recommend an angle of attack of at least 20 degrees. The sooner you exit the atmosphere, the better.
Libra often orbits with about 700m/s dV in her tanks, but if you refuel her in orbit she then has a range of over 2.5km/s.
A stock aircraft called Libra Orbit. Built with 44 of the finest parts, its root part is Mark2Cockpit.
Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.12.4.
