Whatever they did in KSP 1.0.5 fixed EVERYTHING I didn't like before.

Hit up your key of 6 for the split rudder air brake and glide to a solid finish. Re-entry is more harrowing - you have to retro burn 1/2 orbit away, and when you start to see plasma, pitch up to 33 degrees - just like the real thing - all the way through the plasma until you see mach effects. UPDATE Nov 9, 2015: Certified for flights up to 300km orbit carrying 42 tons in KSP 1.0.5. Also, if you want to use this shuttle in a youtube video or series, feel free! I made it for you! If you make a video, post it in this thread so I can add it to this OP so everyone can see it!Ĭan you fly the STS Space Shuttle? Then Check out our Challenge thread and EARN STS Forum Badges! If you fly it, take a pic and share it here! Let me see what cargo you're loading up into orbit. This shuttle would not have continued development if not for this mod. You can check out Claw's amazing InflightShipSave mod and save any in-flight vessel as a new craft file. Special thanks to Claw and Starwhip for rescuing the orbiter from a persistence file when I inadvertently lost all my craft files. This design is my first space shuttle, and it has exceeded my wildest dreams. I wanted to design one of the most beautiful space shuttles ever seen in KSP, while keeping part counts low, and handling and cargo capability practical to the real thing. Anything you can fit into a large Mk.3 cargo bay, this thing will lift into orbit without a fuss, and no tweaks except fuel. I hope to maintain this as well as Mulbin has with his Munbug, each version being a new STS number. 282 part count when empty, and easy to load and fly, this is my non-shuttlecraft magnum opus. I think I reinvented the wheel several times. So easy to fly this craft should be stock! (Hey Devs, how 'bout it? This shuttle is free for anyone to use! No credit needed!)Ĭonvergence of shuttle technology was inevitable. you can turn around and fly an empty bay back up only by removing fuel from the lower external tanks and liquid boosters.

NASA realistic with monoprop OMS, as easy to fly as Westi's, large as Rune's, and capable of full orange and yellow tanks to orbit plus hardware well above 120km like Naito's, it also can return abort and land with a full orange and yellow tank in the bay! And if that was not all. Inspired by Westi29's, Rune's, and Naito's shuttles, this shuttle is the best of all worlds. With the plethora of space shuttles on Spacecraft Exchange, you might ask, 'why another?'
