!Space Shuttle

I present to you my KSP model of the Space Shuttle!

I have been working on this for a while, and I must say it was one of the most difficult things I have ever built in the game, but I am very satisfied with the result! I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do :)

Note: It is incredibly difficult to fly but thats just the nature of Realistic Looking space shuttles in the game. But if you're up for a challenge, have a go!


"Fly safe!" - Scott Manley


***Action groups and how to fly:***

-Group 1 activates the cargo bay

-Group 3 toggles the 3 main vector engines

-Group 4 toggles the 4 orbital engines

Before Launching and while in the VAB put your cargo or satellite into the cargo bay and orient the shuttle so that the back faces the way you want to launch. By default it is set up for a 90° equatorial orbit.
Throttle up as usual then press stage until the Shuttle is no longer held by the Launch clamps.
Then launch as usual and get your Apoapsis to your desired height (I recommend 80km as a good beginner orbit)
When the big tank is depleted activate the action groups to switch to the orbital engines and detach the tank.
Right click the fuel tank at the back of the shuttle and allow it to be used by the engines (fuel and oxidizer).
After your mission is done do a deorbit burn and land (preferably on the runway (preferably in one piece ;) ))

You do not need the dlc or any mods to fly this craft.
