The Two-Stage Lander is a stock craft that can land on celestial bodies with low gravity, and ascend to orbit again. It has no RCS ability, so it cannot dock. As a lander it is a kind of payload and needs a launch vehicle to reach the orbit, and a proper spaceship to reach the given celestial body's orbit too. Its mass is almost 12 tonnes.
Description
“ | Be the first to put a flag up on your favorite moon with this very sensible and mostly-survivable Lander Module. The first stage is meant to get it down to the surface, and can be jettisoned off for the ascent. Launch/return vehicle sold separately. Works best at low gravity and with no atmosphere around it. — Squad |
