Description
A bigger, nuclear-powered, mixed-engine plane designed to carry 25k units of Hydrazine to the Kerbin Station 2. The fuel stages are as follows:
1. LiquidFuel powered quad Whiplash jet
2. Atmo+Hydrogen powered LANTR to help the Whiplashes gain speed
3. Methane+Oxygen LANTR to reach low orbit
4. Ammonia fueled LANTR to transfer to station and return
5. Monopropellant for docking
The Hydrazine is a payload of this craft. You can swap it with another liquid that you want to ferry to LKO. If you used up all your Ammonia, you can use some of the hydrazine, but make sure to leave some for return boost then. As a bonus, some life support is stored behind the nose cones for the station occupants.
Take off with SmartASS set to 13deg pitch and whiplashes only. After stabilising, reduce pitch to 8-11 deg and try to make the whiplashes reach over 290kN trust each. Engage the LANTR in Atmo+Hydrogen mode and pitch to 11-12 deg. Continue until the atmosphere becomes so thin that the whiplash looses power (or overheats), then engage the LANTR into MethaLOX mode, pitch up to 18 deg and push apoapsis over 50. Shitch to prograde to minimize drag and continue rising apoapsis to 71km. Switch to Ammonia when MetaLOX runs out. Circulatize at Ap and plot station intercept.
A mod aircraft called Fuel Shuttle SpacePlane. Built with 50 of the finest parts, its root part is mk3Cockpit.Shuttle.
Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.6.1.
