The '''Learstar A1''' is a [[stock craft]] that uses the Spaceplane Plus parts and was added into KSP 0.25. It resembles the [[w:Space Shuttle|Space Shuttle]] or [[w:Buran (spacecraft)|Buran]]. It is one of the three space shuttles included in stock.

== Capabilities ==
 
 
In [[0.25]] and [[0.90]], the Learstar had 6.4 km/s of delta-V when empty, or enough capacity to lift about 40 tons into low Kerbin orbit.  In [[1.0]], it had 5.9 km/s of delta-V when empty, or enough capacity to lift about 75 tons into LKO.  (The reduction in delta-V was outweighed by the reduction in delta-V required to make LKO by the aerodynamic update.)
 
 
It is recommended to tweak the thrust of the orbiter's main engines to 60% and tweak down the thrust of the [[Kerbodyne KR-2L Advanced Engine|Kerbodyne KR-2L]] engine at the bottom of the large fuel tank during the flight as fuel is being drawn from the tank.
 
 
== Changes ==
 
 
For [[1.0]], all of the engines' thrust and specific impulses were adjusted to balance them against the improved aerodynamics.  To compensate, its [[S1 SRB-KD25k]] solid rocket boosters were doubled.
