The S.S.T.O. Spaceplane from my most recent video.


It includes a program to get it to orbit, not sure if it works for every device but it should for most.
If you're feeling really daring you can refuel it in orbit and try to land it on brigo yourself, it includes VTOL engines for that purpose.


For reentry just drop the periapsis slightly below 60km and set the pitch to 90°. Once you've slowed down to about 1500m/s point prograde and glide the rest of the way down to the surface, make sure to always keep atleast 5% of rocket fuel in the tanks or it will become more and more unstable.

    @XionmassResearchDevt right i forgot to mention, the stock runway is pointing retrograde, so to launch i'd recommend starting at runway 13 and taxiing over to the other runway using slider 1 to power the wheels.

    @XionmassResearchDevt nice plane you got there, good luck on getting it to orbit. Yeah i got kinda lucky with the COM placement with mine, it still becomes unstable when completely empty though.

    Maybe you could look at my JSR-01 Single Bay... I'm trying to make it work in space, it's my SSTO . Really difficult to make a plane and Rocket in one, because planes is nose heavy and Rockets are tail heavy.. I'm trying to make it orbit, and travel. Plus being a airplane jet
