Sojourner Spacecraft from For All Mankind

#1
I am an avid enjoyer of For All Mankind, and season 3 recently ended :(
So in honor of FAM S3, I made Sojourner, To be honest I made it a while ago.
Your going to need to keep the landing thrusters on until you reach orbit, then you can turn them off.
So what does this have? Good question.
- A Sh*t ton of RCS Thrusters
- I tried to make the landing thrusters blue but only things that would work were the hawks :(
- Because Sojourner was originally designed and built by the Jamestown Colony, I needed to make it more powerful, It can lift itself at 70% throttle.
- I built this off of JSP's Saturn Shuttle.
- You can go to Mars and back with this thing
- Fair warning, if you want to do anything with Sojourner (go to the moon, mars, ETC.) Your going to want to put more fuel tanks on. If you don't want to, then you can just use the "Infinite Fuel" cheat. But up to you.
Anyways, here it is!

And that's it! BP And Ver at the bottom. And also, the thing has some control issues, particularly with the RCS system.

Lol, I'm sure JSP didn't expect his shuttle to be adapted like that.:D Cool!


If it has RCS issues, perhaps it just needs to be rebalanced, and some RCS removed?

Oh, I'm new to the forums, I don't know how to do that :p
When you're in the buildscreen, click the pause menu (the three lines beside 'launch' button) and click share blueprint. The game will generate a link to your rocket, ready to send everywhere, compatible with all platforms. Though this feature relies on internet connectivity, and whether the server is online.
