Im trying somthing new here, bear with me.
This is a low part count replica of NASAs Space Launch System launch vehicle designed to be easy to use and run without sacrificing detail. Over time you can expect various upgrades to come out, including a fully automated flight program eventually (maybe) If you want to see more crafts like this in the future or run into any issues, please let me know.

You guys have got to make this a stock craft in 1.3!
@NovaSpaceSystems all good, also nothing is confirmed just yet, I’d have to change it (which I have been) before it’s even possible, even then it might not get in, we’ll see
@Gameknight3603 I haven’t used the website much recently so I kind of forgot about some features, like linking crafts, sorry. It wasn’t meant to be anything bad btw, those crafts are all mine, and they are not as good, so I’m working on a way better version. Congrats for being selected to make it a stock craft as well!
@ZiziWorld I’d prefer if you didn’t
Can I make a launchpad for this?@Gameknight3603
@NovaSpaceSystems first linking crafts is a thing, and second I’m not surprised that others have done it before, but I doubt many are this level of quality, and third thanks, I appreciate it
Interesting name...

Seriously though, cool craft!
@HossSkyron thank you, I’m glad to see so many people like it
Nicely done! A low part count SLS that works! Bravo!
@RangerSP Uhh, what you need to do is fly vertically at the start until you reach maybe 2km of altitude, and then slowly turn to the east (to get those juicy planet rotational assist) and wait until the apoapsis reached 100 or so km, and stop accelerating. After that, wait until time to apoapsis maybe 5 sec? And then accelerate until a circular/eliptical orbit formed. Congratulations, your Satellite won't fall back to droo
Well, you can watch some intricate tutorial at YouTube rather than reading this message💀
@RangerSP so the apoapsis and the perapsis are the opposite sides of your orbit. Next to the label it says the height of it.
Legendary
@ZeusSpaceAgency okay, so fly vertical? and also what is apoapsis and uhhh periapsis? yeah what is that? I'm more of a Simpleplanes guy so I don't really understand
@RangerSP oh, so you’re going to want to fly up until you start to see space. You’re gonna want to slowly turn in the direction in which you want your orbit to be traveling in. Remember that the least your orbit can be at is 80km. If you need more details just ask
@ZeusSpaceAgency no no I mean like how to put rockets into orbit and like launch the satellite
@Eddyviolin525 I can’t think of anything you’d be doing wrong, but I also know that the craft works just fine on my end. What are you running it on? Also I’d consider a bug report if it keeps giving you issues.
orion main engine activation crashes game, am i doing something wrong or isit mod-related? thanks
@Gameknight3603 ok
@ZeusSpaceAgency my guess is search if you cand find said file, you could put that into your saved crafts folder. this is all just a guess, i dont play around with files much unless its for modding
@Gameknight3603 yeah, how do I use it?
@ZeusSpaceAgency sounds like a craft file to me
@SatelliteTorifune what’s that?
@ZeusSpaceAgency luna-orbit-rescue-3.xml
@RangerSP so you gonna want to press the download button, then it will load into your game. You’re gonna want to press the play button and select launchpad before pressing launch. In the bottom left you have your throttle and in the bottom right you have the stages. Using the stages will ignite engines and stage the rocket.
@SatelliteTorifune oh is there 😃😃😃
