In orbit around Kerbin above one of the craters.
The Aeris 4A is a manned stock spaceplane with single-stage-to-orbit capabilities. With sufficient piloting skill it is capable of reaching Kerbin orbit, docking with another craft in orbit and returning safely to the ground without decoupling any parts.
Features
The Aeris A4 is equipped with two TurboJet Engines for atmospheric flight. The intake air is provided by four Radial Air Intakes and two Ram Air Intakes. For orbital flight is one LV-T30 Liquid Fuel Engine available.
Six RV-105 RCS thrusters for orbital control are added which allow rotational or translational movement. Although it is not possible to translate sideways as all thrusters are pointing upwards, downwards, forwards or rearwards.
With an Inline Clamp-O-Tron docking port facing upwards it is possible to dock with other craft.
Action Groups
For faster switching between atmospheric and orbital flight, the Aeris 4A has four action groups predefined:
- Activate turbojet engines
- Activate liquid fuel engine
- Shutdown jet engines, toggle intakes
- Open docking port
Its engines are supposed to be controlled through action groups, not through staging.
