[SIM] Auto Orbit Shuttle | Auto Cargo Rocket

Description
What is this:
This is a Shuttle/Rocket to automatically bring a SIM-CargoContainer up to space and return (also automatically).
  • The Shuttle/Rocket will return and land with parachutes.
  • The Cargo Container will move to a waypoint defined in it's RemoteControl.
    When it's closer than 500m the CargoContainer will stop itself to not crash into the SpaceStation.

Why?
Bringing cargo from planet to space was such a boring task for me, I challenged myself to find an engineering solution to make it easier, more interesting and more fun.
This is the result, and I'm happy to see it working and also happy to share it with you!

HowToUse
  • Increase speedlimit of your world to at least 500m/s
  • Paste/Project the blueprint on it's own. I've tested it with 64k iron ingots and it worked fine.
    (Put the right waypoint in the RemoteControl of the cargo container)
  • Build your own ship/container with all the Blocks/Groups defined in the top of the script linked below.
  • To launch into space, run the program with 'Launch'!
  • Have Fun!

Further possibilities
Use it to launch:
  • Relay-Satellites
  • Patrol/Combat Drones
  • Passengers
  • ...

So all creds on this to 5URG3

The CargoContainer uses FlightAssist

to bring it to a stop in space.
