DGIV Lifeboats?
- Thread starter Prius
- Start date
I've found that, I'm actually looking for more of a tiny ship that fits into the payload bay. Good for reentry and stuff. So if I happen to break my landing gear and hover engines while landing on the moon, I'll be able to maybe get back to earth.

A life boat would be cool. I'm not aware of such a craft, but if you find yourself in the situation you describe, and you can make it to the ISS, you could try my TX rescue scenario which is designed to recover a DGIV with blown landing gear. http://orbiter.dansteph.com/index.php?disp=dgIVMore&files=146_TX_Rescue.zip

impossible. the payload bay isn't big enough for a 5 passenger emergency ejection pod. Or "lifeboat" as you call it. There are probably other vessels out there that suit your needs, but the best way to satisfy your needs would be to design one yourself. It takes a while to learn, but once you got it, its not hard to come up with what you want.
Well, maybe it's an inflatable spaceship. Yeah. An inflatable spaceship with a heatshield on the front and the heat tiles on the other sides kind of fold out and make room for five people.
How do I find out how to make this? Or would one of you be willing to make it?
Heh...inflatable spaceships. Coolest invention ever. Except for maybe bike-powered airplanes.

Epik spaec mishun!
For every scenario with a DG-IV, ALWAYS have another one at KCS, just for emergencies
For such a small craft as the DG, I would expect that "escape pods" would be something along the lines of MOOSE.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOOSE
