Team Hawk: Shuttle

[AstronautAdam]

BP of shuttle and stack(both with twr 1,48)

Shuttle Adamis ready for depart

When was Apoapsis out of atmo, cut of engines, transfer fuel from stack to Adamis, detach stack with 10% fuel in it and ignite engines for orbit. Finally orbit!

So load

Load away, door docking permission granted

Back to the Earth, already on chutes

Heat shield detached, now landing

Landed and mission report

Judges, I am awaiting.

This is theoretically 90% reusable- only fairing and heat shield(probably not but it blocks landing gear)

AstronautAdam what happened to your cargo covers?

 

[AstronautAdam]

Uh quite simple- I am not very familiar with this type of cargo covers, I usually use only strut. Clipping trough strut doesnt work on Steam version(in my case)-lower fairing after opening wasnt really attached to shuttle. And in reenter it showed- lower fairing destroyed upper, so that TtTOtW, and how I can mention someone?​

 

[TtTOtW]

You know how you open and close a solar panel or landing leg in the build grid? The same menu gives you a "Detach fairing" option for fairings. Deselect it. If it still detaches, then make sure you have something connected to the bottom or outer edge of at least one of the end fairings. Then it'll stay.
