Fixed a small weight balance issue
Hello again fellow engineers,
Thanks to CedandRossSpaceAgency for challenging me to build this, go check them out!
Today I bring you the Inertial Upper Stage (IUS) this was built as the Interm Upper Stage. The temporary solution to a kick stage on the Space Shuttle. It’s replacement was supposed to be a centaur upper stage but the challenger accident brought an end to the program and the IUS continued service under its new name the Inertial upper stage. This would also be put into service in the Titan III’s on the 34D, III commercial, and Titan IV’s before it was replaced by the cheaper TOS system.

Feel free to use this for projects! Mention me in the comments and I will be sure to check it out!
34D, Titan III commercial, and Titan IV with the IUS module attached coming very soon! Stay tuned.

I don't know when will I launch my updated IUS but I already started launching Delta IIs.
Thanks for the upvote @BadxDesigner

@LaunchAttempt np, this craft is cool fr
Thanks for the upvote @karimspina
@CedandRossSpaceAgency Can you make the stage that would be on Titan IIIE cause I want to use it to launch my payloads
No use editing the TDRS satellite
I would customize my TDRS satellite to have low amount of parts to not lag
DSP-19 was placed in a useless orbit because of the stage separation gone wrong
There were 8 payloads used on the Titan IV flights of the Inertial Upper Stage
It wasn't used on a Titan IIIE either
@GSpace No
@LaunchAttempt No problem
@CedandRossSpaceAgency so it was used on Titan IIIE
@LaunchAttempt ok

Thanks! Yes I was aware of the original name and it’s capabilities on the space shuttle. I may make a space shuttle at some point but not anytime soon. As for a USAF version I will upload that soon as well. :)@CedandRossSpaceAgency
That Inertial Upper Stage should be used on the Titan Rockets. I downloaded from you so I would download the USAF version.
Would you mind taking a clone of your Inertial Upper Stage to make the USAF version of it? Remember that second interstage picture I sent you? Copy the details of it.
The Inertial Upper Stage was used first before the planned Shuttle-Centaur that had it's development cancelled.
The old name for the Inertial Upper Stage was Interim Upper Stage, 1982-1986.
Didn't you know it had interplanetary missions too? But they were on the Space Shuttle so build the Space Shuttle and your own IUS Airborne Support Equipment to fit the Inertial Upper Stage on your Space Shuttle. The Titan III Commercial never got a chance to be attached with the Inertial Upper Stage.
