Use with Parom tug
Kliper was an early-2000s proposed partially-reusable crewed spacecraft concept by RSC Energia. Due to lack of funding from the ESA and RSA, the project was indefinitely postponed by 2006.

Designed primarily to replace the Soyuz spacecraft, Kliper was proposed in two versions: as a pure lifting body design and as spaceplane with small wings. In either case, the craft would have been able to glide into the atmosphere at an angle that produces much less stress on the human occupants than the current Soyuz. Kliper was intended to be designed to be able to carry up to six people and to perform ferry services between Earth and the International Space Station.

The Kliper program was proposed as the Russian-European counterpart to the American Orion Spacecraft and was therefore designed (similar to the Orion) to be part of a modular system that enabled it to be both a LEO-shuttle type vehicle as well as part of a spacecraft able to go beyond Earth orbit to the Moon and even Mars.

It have parachute in case if you lost too much speed to glide or broak something important to land.
nevertheless Kliper is able to glide on the runway after an abort.

!!!unfold wings only after reentry

@castellareospace160706 yes, it was designed to be able to fly to the low Lunar orbit and back to ISS

Does this have enough fuel to capture back into orbit of the earth?
With the TUG of course -

@AVAXON it can manage over 6K parts. But now mobile version have bad optimisation, that's why I should keep part count at 2-3K

@KirRu Thanks.I ask because I also build on a smartphone but I can only do 1800 parts..You have the qsd 888 right? Does the processor manage as many parts as in most of your works?

@KirRu will try but i also tried to not tilt at all for the first few km and also exploded

@Utkin it is one of the concepts. There was some variants of Kliper, so this is one of them

@Scatha do not tilt too much. Tilt a little so that at an altitude of 15 km the pitch is 45 degrees
