The SS-16 Triton is a Single Stage To Orbit [SSTO] spaceplane capable of putting at least 5 tons into Low Droo Orbit but I have not yet tested its full capability.
Activation Groups:
1. Main Engines
2. Cargo Bay
3. Parachutes
4. Gyroscopes
8. Landing Gear
9. Solar Panels
10. RCS
Instructions:
1. Launch from Runway
2. Set pitch to 15 degrees
3. Set throttle to 100%
4. Retract landing gear and disable RCS right after takeoff
5. Pitch up to 75 degrees slowly (over about 5 seconds)
6. For best efficiency, cut throttle when apoapsis reaches 70km
7. Burn prograde at apoapsis until periapsis is above 60km
8. Raise orbit to desired altitude, eccentricity and inclination MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH FUEL (3%-5% depending on orbit) TO DE-ORBIT!
9. If you want to land at the space center, make sure to quick save before burning retrograde, it will likely take multiple tries. Otherwise, aim for flat land
10. For Re-entry, Rapidly change roll, pitch, and yaw, to minimize re-entry heating on each part
11. Deploy landing gear and maintain a low pitch, deploy parachutes before landing, touchdown speed should be at most 200m/s and at least 100m/s
