The TT-38K Radial Decoupler is a Decoupler that allows for staging rockets horizontally and in parallel.
Contents
Usage
The TT-38K adds a stage to the rocket and when activated will jettison the Decoupler as well as anything attached to it, much like the TR-18A. Liquid Fuel system modules cannot be attached to a TT-38K, however you can attach TT-38K's to Liquid Fuel system modules. An easy workaround is simply attaching a Solid Rocket Booster to the TT-38K and then stacking Liquid Fuel system modules below.
Radial Symmetry
Unlike a stack decoupler, a radial decoupler can be combined with symmetry to an interesting effect. Using the symmetry feature found in the VAB, one can attach 2-6 symmetrical pieces onto their main fuel engine, to allow for more balance in precision in placing your initial booster stages. See example.
Description
“ | The TT-38K Radial Decoupler, like most other decouplers, is equipped with a (hopefully) small explosive charge, that will sever the structural linkage between itself and whatever it's connected to. — O.M.B. Demolition Enterprises |

Changes
- → See also: Version History
v0.8
- Radial decouplers now have their own module (they used to share modules with the stack decoupler)
- Tweaked the Radial Decoupler separation. It can now eject lit SRBs safely away from the ship and not kill the crew everytime.
v0.7.3
- Initial Release
