the Mantis is a futuristic shuttle design.
It has a 6x4x3m cargo bay, docking possibility, RCS, parachutes and landing legs for vertical landings.
The shuttle is powered by 2 nuclear vaccum optimised engines for efficient maneuvers in space ( such as a Droo to Luna burn, these engines have a low power and should not be used for vertical landing) and a linear aerospike which is a lot more powerfull and that should be used for vertical landings.
Planned burns with the nuclear engines are hard to handle because of their big stage burning time.
Use brake to initiate launch, the vizzy program brings you in a ~290-300km orbit.
The Mantis is almost fully vanilla, I just used some heat shield tinker panel to help with the atmospheric reentry. Hope you like the craft!
