Unveiling the UKOT CLS, SR2's most capable heavy-lift cargo lander!
While aesthetics may not be this craft's strong point, the CLS can carry an impressive 50 tons to Luna surface with high precision and at a low launch cost ($10.4m). Its size provides an ultra-stable landing platform ideal for maneuvering into difficult-to-reach locations.
The lander has a long main engine burn-time in addition to large RCS tanks, allowing the entire landing phase of a mission to be completed by this single stage. UK Orbital Technology reccomends a stage separation during Lunar de-orbit burn to make full use of this capability.
Once on the ground, the Lander Legs can be retracted and the Cargo Bay can be opened to unload freight. Thanks to the CLS' unique Drop-Down Unloading (DDU) system, it is even possible to stack multiple base modules, stores, or rovers into the bay.
Please Note: I have placed all structural/unloading stage activations into a safe "No-Go" stage to prevent accidents. I recommend using manual activation of all parts after landing and Cargo Bay opening. The vehicle also uses engines from the SpaceX Mod, which I fully recommend downloading!
