8 tanks, reaxy to go... 945t of fuel in each. Here comes the tug...
View attachment 37319 ... and there goes an 8400t payload to the Moon...

... over the course of 8 orbits. Only on the final orbit do I activate the Titans. Circularising is done via the Frontier pairs plus the ions. I'm sure you all forgot the ion engines are more than just pretty

And so I nearly doubled the capacity of the station. From 9 fuel reserves, to 17. And almost double the parking space. You know what that means, right?

... Anyway, Meteora has her own perch on the tree now. Now to move Archie and Aspire, and bring Earl's shuttle back from the surface. Then... MOAAAAAAR SHUTTLLEES!!!

Nice

This is a new shuttle I have been working of for the past couple of days. From preliminary testing it works great. Haven’t got around to testing payload capacity though.

COOL...
by the way the SRBs are little short

That's quite a piece of work! A bit proportionally off for a replica, but otherwise brilliant so far!

Snazzy shuttle ya got there.

guys can i enter my kosmos series here thou it maybe outdated......

 

[TtTOtW]

Post it.

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

Post it.

Ummmm i post a thread before i ask yesterday.....
im bit shy if its outperformed....
but still testin whether it can go to moon....

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

SP 1D is the newest built its just lengthen payload bay and some additional fuel tonks....

well this is the basis from SP 1D the SP 1B its just one of the old version of kosmos series

Here lies my SSTO the Kosmos 136B
well after orbit it has less or maybe 5 to 10 percent fuel remain, without payload it can reach orbit (35km) but if there is payload i will sacrifice the fuel of the payload soo...

Kosmos 139 A

Kosmos 139B is almost the same but some little modification and some additional fuel tank, it can reach orbit without payload same as Komos 136B

 

[TtTOtW]

The last one is looking better than the rest.

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

i tested the SP 1D to Lunar Mission after i send my MSS parts...
-it landed
-I always forgot the TLI part!! crap.....

Encounter...L

Lunar Capture. Low Lunar Orbit right??

She's lookin great? well head to landin site....

After DeOrbit.....

Landin site visual contact.....

Retro Burn...

Landed...

Engine Arm On....

Lift Off with 1 Engine....(quietly amazed it lift :3)

Well i got into LLO and time for TEI

After TEI cut off of engine... and coastin back to earth...

Some minor correction and headin now....

After Reentry prep for final landin....(nvm the chutes i ran out of propellant in reentry mainly RCS)

Touch Down....

Recovery of Kosmos (SP 1D).....

This is secondary mission after the shuttle send module to new Military Space Station which is in orbit (50km).........

Nice!

Hey folks, who have shuttle with capacity 60 and more tons of cargo.
I have one. With little help from Marmilo. Foto of this shuttle (Saturn type shuttle without lower stages).

Nice start, a few good principles at work there. Also, I have shuttles capable of anything from 20t to 1400t to LEO.

is shuttle city back now???

 

[TtTOtW]

No, just saying. The quicksave was lost.

then let's make another one!

1400 tons to LEO. But how many tons to the moon and back?

 

[TtTOtW]

1400 tons to LEO. But how many tons to the moon and back?

Including lunar landing?

 

[Macer SFS]

This is indeed very interesting

 

[Anikta]

So.... 1.5 broke my submission. Time for a new shuttle!

Just in case you don't know: the project has stopped

 

[AstronautAdam]

I not mean fly by but I mean landing, unload cargo and return back to th moon

 

[Anikta]

Just in case you don't know: the project has stopped

Yeah, I know. I just want a working shuttle submission.
