LT-1 Landing Strut/Box

LT-1 landing strut extended (left) and folded (right)

The LT-1 Landing Strut is used as a landing support when landing vertically.

Usage

The LT-1 is connected radially and extends with the G key (Default). It does not extend as far as the larger LT-2 Landing Strut, but is just half as heavy.

As they are relatively short, LT-1 landing struts need to be placed low on a rocket. They do not extend far enough to be used with LV-T30 or LV-T45 Liquid Fuel Engines, but can reach past the LV-909.

Product description

It may have been originally designed as a heavy-duty metal detector, but this Landing Leg certainly emphasises[sic] an important fact in surface landings: You don't need to put a crater in the ground to stop yourself.
