The Mercury

2,728 XMIndustries  2.4 years ago
Auto Credit Based on ColonelCanada's [CLOSED] Space Challenge!

The mercury is a small manned rocket based on the mercury redstone throttle up the engines to start. When at 90,000ft (27432 meters 27000 meters should do fine) activate ag1 to remove the L.E.S (launch escape tower).When at 0 mph/ activate ag2 to remove the main stage (throttle to 0% and then detatch main stage) when at 140,000ft (42672 meters 42600 meters will do) put to 100% to re-enter the atmosphere on a sub-orbital tragectory once at 20,000ft (6096 meters 6000 should do) throttle down to 0% and wait until 1000ft (304.8 meters 300 does it) and then deploy the parachute with ag3 and disable ag2 to stop the gyroscope.Once landed de-activate all action groups and thats it. Sadly I flew it in imperial so sorry if the height is converted. Also re-entering the atmosphere is a jet engine so it has effects,I have checked it does go to 10,000 meters.

    @Bubby1234 sorry but was a copy you can keep it as long as it's either slightly changed (maybe vr cockpit that would be cool) or have it as unlisted so if you do have vr or other devices you can use it on there.Sincerely Epicness999

    1. Looks great!
    2. The rocket stages aren't the best, the main rocket is still activated when detaching...
    3. It did go over 10,000.
    6 points from looks, 6 from rocket stages.
