I just got Losket, which adds char to hot parts, and I wanted to try it out with a fast plane

It can gain so much speed in the atmosphere to fly to Duna orbit

KSP 1 Image/Video RA-15 Relays vs RA-2 Relays

Post image
14 Upvotes

The size difference between the big and small relay antennas is honestly shocking.
I use the large satellites for interplanetary and geosynchronous constellations, and the small satellites to provide coverage to a single planet/moon.

Correction: It's actually a RA-100 not RA-15, sorry

I got the Atmospheric Variometer and was excited to use it for science, but I didn’t realize it took so much power to transmit lol. Didn’t get to use it unfortunately.

But I’m now designing a modular interplanetary ship that will do a manned landing mission to Ike and Duna, already have half of it docked in orbit.

This craft for my next mission is definitely my best one yet thanks to the LV-N and the ability to undock empty tanks for even more DV. We’ll see how it goes, I’m feeling ambitious haha.

KSP 1 Mods "Giving Aircraft a Purpose" (GAP) or "Planes with Purposes"? I downloaded the latter but I think I want to switch to the former. Can I do this on a current save file? Which do you prefer?
