The LT-5 Micro Landing Strut is the smallest and lightest landing leg, providing a low mass option for very small crewed spacecraft and probes.
Usage
[[File:Lander sunken.png|left|upright|thumb|LT-5s sunken into the terrain on a small munar probe The LT-5 can be extended with the G key similarly to the LT-1 and LT-2. Its impact resistance is lower than them, but not as bad as the description implies (10 m/s vs. 12 m/s). It does however have the disadvantage that it extends at less than a 45° angle, meaning that your vessel may be less stable and tip over a lot more easily when landing. Be careful that you land vertically and on even ground.
It extends just far enough to protect an LV-909 or LV-1 under it, but only when placed as far down as possible.
Currently the LT-5 sinks a bit into the terrain, hiding the feet on the end.[outdated]
Product description
| “ | A small landing leg designed for space probes or lightweight landers. Basically made of toothpicks... erm, Space-grade toothpicks mind you, but be careful with them anyway. | ” |
