The TR-18A Stack Decoupler is a Decoupler that allows for staging rockets vertically and in sequence.

Use

The TR-18A adds a stage to the rocket and when activated will jettison the Decoupler as well as anything attached to it, much like the TT-38K.

Description

The TR-18A Stack Decoupler is equipped with a (hopefully) small explosive charge, that will sever the structural linkage between itself and whatever it's connected to.

Changes

v0.15

  • (undocumented) Stack Decouplers no longer cross-feed fuel by default.

v0.14

  • Decouplers now obey the second law of physics (Acceleration = Force/Mass)
  • (unimplemented) Increased the ejection force of Decouplers and Radial Decouplers (too underpowered after the physics fix).

v0.9

  • (undocumented) Decouplers can now cross-feed fuel.

v0.8.5

  • Stage decouplers can now share fuel across stages.
  • Fixed a bug where creating a new stage with a decoupler and then removing it would generate errors.

v0.7.3

  • Initial Release
