Changes on Manu-Tara Capsule
11 Jan 2007It always bothered me that the four main engines on the Manu-Tara capsule, which were pointing in diagonal, were a waste of power. The only way to use them was firing them all together (or by pairs), so they null themselves. I did it that way because I want to reuse the engines, so they were protected on reentry. |
So I follow the same approach of the Make-Make Launch Vehicle, and strip down the capsule on three parts, the capsule, the fuel tanks and the engine. The engine, as on the Make-Make, it’s reusable. |
