another tip is to amount only the least amount of whiplashes in relation to rapiers to achieve the maximum air breathing speed. Another reason might be to use whiplashes if your aircraft cant take off past the runway. But IMO that is a design mistake as any sized spaceplane should be ab...
Since I wasnt able to make the spaceplane design work I had to come up with a new plan, and I happened to get a very profitable contract for putting a station in Eve Orbit, so that was the plan I went with. Space Station design: ...
Upgrade limit:You can spend money and time to increase the capability of an LC, to a point, to support a larger, upgraded rocket of the same design. This limit is that point to which you can upgrade to. Beyond this, you need a new LC. This number is linked to the max tonnage you...

Plane change to a more equatorial orbit. Val's view out the command pod window. She'll get to see it up close soon in that spaceplane! The final circularization burn, about halfway done. The main ship will remain in a 61 km orbit while Val and the spaceplane visit Laythe's sur...
“If it's that big, why do you need my design? That thing would eat my DAGGER for breakfast just with the static suction from the intake.” “It's that contra-rotating air feeder system you developed that I'm really interested in. Air coming through a shock cone intake and passing ...
I've added the apses to the orbit transfer map tonight. I'll have to think about the nodes, because you need to pick the correct plane for them to make sense. There's a fair bit of thought, design, and math that needs to go into plotting those. Honestly, they wi...
I haven't tested this, but my first thought for reusable Eve infrastructure is to have aISRUequipped rocket spaceplane with a detachable, winged second stage. The first stage of the rocket plane would take off horizontally and then climb into a suborbital trajectory where it would deploy the ...
"I'm not going to get into that deep-freeze again. I'll stay in the garden module." Ally walked through the hatch into the garden habitat. Stable floated in the now cold space. She shivered, partly with fear. She would be infamous now. She let a crew member die. She was complet...
