The Kenneth SSTO Launch Vehicle is a massive single-stage rocket designed for delivering large payloads up to 245,000kg to low Droo orbit. The Kenneth SSTO LV has RCS and is capable of performing a rendezvous procedure in orbit so its useful for building space stations and interplanetary transport systems
This rocket can safely return to the ground on 8-10% fuel, effectively making it reusable. Minus the fairing which is disposed of before you circularize your orbit.
The recommended flight plan is to launch to orbit, rendezvous with desired craft, undock the payload, de-orbit the rocket and burn at 5-10% power once you reach about 40-45 kilometers ASL. From there it's just slowing down while straightening out and I've been successful in landing so far
I've tried a few different iterations of this concept and I'm super happy with the general shape and design and its been super useful for building in orbit. Anyway I hope you enjoy launching your payloads aboard the Kenneth SSTO Launch Vehicle and follow for more, I may do something cool soon, who knows. (BTW there is a test payload in the fairing and all AG's are labeled)
