KerbalX

Description

This is a Kerbin SSTO which can do a propulsive landing on Eve, refuel there, and then escape Eve (not as a SSTO).

No need for heatshields when you’ve got enough Mastodon.

You’ll need to add a 3.75m fairing between the two Clamp'o'Tron Senior on the top if you want to take of Kerbin without the landing stabilizers messing with you.

When entering Eve, go for a Pe between 65 and 70km, start burning full throttle before reaching Pe or when things gets too out (critical heat showing up all over the place). When your left with only the core, transfer all remaining fuel to it.

At around 15km, stop braking or the top cone will detach. Just wait for the thick atmo to slow you down. Deploy chutes around 10km. Deploy gear before touching down.

Drill for hours and convert to fill the tanks (there’s 62 280 unit of LF to convert so, it’s going to be long months), get your kerbal inside through the MK2 pods, transfer them to the landing can, stage to get rid of draggy stuff, and full throttle up to escape.

First stage is asparagus, drop engine cluster when tanks are empty.

Second stage have two MK2 drop tanks, don’t forget to stage them when they’re empty.

Stage 3 is enough to get you in orbit, with a little bit more, so you can maneuver to reach whatever infrastructure you’ve got there.

A stock rocket called Eve return craft. Built with 397 of the finest parts, its root part is dockingPortLarge.

Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.11.0.
