Hello, It's been a while but i'm back here with two questions.
I'll post one later since this one is more important.
Well as the title says it regards the XR5 Vanguard from Altea Aerospace aircraft.
Quite intriguing piece of ship, I have it here from a year now and never seriously tested it.
It's too big and i cannot launch it with a vector (I use the HLLV from kulch), still he can't even make a direct-style ascent (I red it somewhere).
So here I go:
Departurefrom KSC on the runway. The takeoff is entirely made by main trusters. After getting the gears up i set the Scrams to 100% and the main at 10%, keeping an AOA of +10° - +15° so the direction vector was over 5°
after few minutes I was in space and scrams were getting useless.
I waited to get to my ApA (apoapis right?) for make a prograde burn.
Well.. I reached 18% fuel without establishing a safe orbit and I was even Unaligned so...
My altitude at ApA was +-250km
the ship cargo bay was empty
I consumed just like 30% of the scram fuel
The ship has been updated
Tank you anyone :tiphat:

I found space tugs unreliable for intercepting duties and I wanted to build up a space station without just clicking add, ok, dock here, add, that sounds stupid...
The Xr5 may be the answer, and maybe the knowledge on how to aquire the right equatorial inclination from takeoff but that's another topic
Anybody can give me some tips?The Xr5 may be the answer, and maybe the knowledge on how to aquire the right equatorial inclination from takeoff but that's another topic
