Droo Prograde Shuttle (READ DESC.)

This is the Droo Prograde Shuttle. This is one of my finest crafts, capable of delivering a small payload to LDO, and returning back to a runway.

HOW TO USE: PLEASE READ

1. Get into orbit like normal, when SRB’s depleted, jettison them. HOWEVER:
2. When you have your desired apoapsis, begin transferring fuel from the largest tank to the orbiter.
3. When Orbiter fully refuelled, jettison external fuel tank. Although it does waste a bit of fuel and dV, i have tried to test it while keeping the EFT (External Fuel Tank) and I haven’t managed to keep the Center of Thrust in line with the CoM, so it must be jettisonned.
4. Continue to orbit as normal, and deploy payload when in desired orbit.
5. Point retrograde until you have the desired re-entry path, and point your nose slightly higher than the prograde marker for best re-entry.
6. Flying skills needed for this one, as you will now need to either guide the craft to a runway or flat terrain to land on. Slow down by spiralling, if you have fuel left, use that to help you.

That’s it! Happy flying!
