This is Kitan, from the duo Pencils + Kitan. In this version, Kitan is fully capable of getting to space by herself, due to some upgrades. AG2 activates the 'main' engines. AG3 activates the secondary engine used in space. RCS ports have been added. See post for more notes.

    Yup, this need TWO mods to use.
    The Rocket Engines mod, because rocket engines and the Outer Space mod, because space VTOL engine doesn't need air, so RCS ports work in space.
    The six rockets on the outside are the 'main' engines, while the center one is the 'space' engine. For some reason all 7 engines firing in space make Kitan want to turn nose up really fast, which is not good for space flight.
    Kitan is fully capable of flight in atmosphere and the best way to recover her is to water land, then use the 'space' engine to get as close to land as possible.
