Svarog Shuttle Project

[Cresign]

I made a big shittle. I dont know it's payload capacity, definetely more than 5 tons im certain. It has 3 payload bays, in the front, middle and in the tail. That last one i plan to turn into a hangar for a smaller shittle of mine, sounds like a cool idea.

On the second picture, front door isnt open due to a malfunction. It couldnt open because a heat shield i put on the tip of the nose was blocking it. Its still in development technically, it doesnt have landing legs for example, which is why i landed it on the belly.

Now we need internal smaller shuttles to have bays for several mini shuttles, and that would be a full set!

Around 5 kilotons to orbit, sadly no return for now since nose payload didnt separate. Crew returned in the Hussar, which was deployed from the tail bay.

First fully successful flight, the shuttle is now operational!

I've also given it a name which i think is fitting:

Svarog

Name of a Slavic deity of fire, i think it fits given it's colors are orange and white, both of which could be associated with it. Its also very powerful, and so is fire.

I'm going to try to land it on Mars now, wish me luck.

I tried to go interplanetary with it, so far three times.

First mission to Mars was successful, with no payload it was capable of landing on the red planet and returning.

Two other mission i attempted were to Venus (couldnt return due to lack of fuel)

And a planet from Dou Xiu, Sphil (also failed for the same reason). This one is notorious for being a shuttle graveyard. It's a super earth, so naturally a very hard destination.
