KSP: The Hypersonic Soviet SPIRAL Launch System!

In today's video, we'll be creating the shelved Soviet "Spiral" program, specifically the MiG-105 and its launcher(s), and will take the little spaceplane all the way to Minmus, and we'll also visit the Mun!

Number fifteen: Soviet Spiral Launch System. The last thing you'd want flying above your house is the Soviet Spiral Launch System. Designed by both the USSR and the famous KSP hero, Matt Lowne...

number 15, soviet spiral launch system. the last thing you'd want in low earth orbit is the MiG-105, but as it turns out that might be what you get. KSP user matt lowne uploaded a video to youtube showcasing the construction of an MiG-105 in KSP with the title 'KSP: The Hypersonic Soviet SPIRAL Launch System!' admittedly, it wasn't clickbait - but that's even worse. the post went live on the 7th of november 2020 and moments later matt's viewers were alerted to the new vide-

Matt my goodness bro you rock! Your truly the best man your videos are amazingly consistent and this is the earliest I’ve seen a video since it’s been posted. You basically taught me how to play this game thank you soo much man. I love seeing these videos every time then hopping on my game and trying to pull it off in my campaign. I get cheeky once I’ve unlocked the first Guidance Units and adjust their spot to inside the lander cans. That way all my ships can avoid any worry of a Kerbal blacking out or having to have a pilot. I take trips with my scientist then engineers when I got guidance systems inside the ships.

[@michelemccortney6359]

hey great video; im just getting into KSP - I saw some similar rebuilds on ZXQ Aerospace which were pretty cool too

[@spamielentertainment]

An idea for an build could be a walking rover that can walkaround matt Lowne island on Lathe but then use hinges or fuel transfers to turn it in to a water rover or submarine (that could ether use propellers to zoom across the see or maybe use the buoyancy parts that could come down and walk across the water. or what ever amassing idea you come up with)

[@deersgamr8034]

Even tho i think of myself as a good plane builder and just overal good builder, sometimes you suprise me by making something that i wouldnt think of, so that really helps. Also good looking planes dont have to use fairings/flags yours look really good

You can use the Stage Recovery mod to recover an air launch vehicle, if you exploit the powered landing mechanics a bit. Just make sure it has a rocket or SABRE engine on it, and a fuel tank with about 200 dv of LFO in it, and lock the fuel tank so the fuel isn't used in the flight. The mod will recognize the 200dv and recover the launch plane.
