A 153t, 6.2 meter long, 42.5 meter tall space plane used to take pictures at high altitudes. Still a W.I.P as i need to tweak it so it can do its job efficiently.
( does not come with a rocket )
(subject to change)--> How to use it properly:
Step 1: Make or use an existing rocket to get it to around 30-40km
Step 2: Use the onboard array of rcs, and ion engine to get an orbit slightly above 30km on both sides ( the plane is fully staged, so have everything before the rcs and ion part )
Step 3: Take pics or something, this is the part where it does its mission ( armed version coming after i perfect the non armed version )
Step 4: use the titan engine to de orbit into a slow decent ( just think about how a shuttle would normally return, and you're doing it right )
Step 5: deploy chutes and landing gear, and you're done! ( if the titan engine breaks, it will become unbalanced, so be careful on the decent and don't turn off rcs )
Constructive criticism and thoughts help, so don't be afraid to say something!
Current designation: "SP-X"
