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-

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

[@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)

[@Armageddon_71]

Jesus Kerman. Thats the definition of overkill. I think that thing could go to minmus + mun. Edit: 5000 m/s! You could go Duna if the main booster had vacuum capable engines!

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.

[@LarryFish3rman]

Beautiful craft my brothren!

[@hi-its-matt]

Guys if you don’t know what delta V is (as I didn’t before taking physics and figuring it out myself) Delta in science means “change in” you usually figure this out by taking two measurements, one at the start and one at the end and taking the first away from the last. V means “velocity” in meters per second (how fast it goes) Delta V means “Change in velocity”, or how much ability the spacecraft has to change its velocity. So if we were going 1000m/s in a direction, and wanted to turn around, and our craft had 1000 Delta V, we could get ourselves to a standstill, but we wouldn’t be able to accelerate in the opposite direction because we’ve run out of fuel. It’s a measure of how much change in velocity the rocket has left.

You forgot to load up the bomber quicksave so you could try and land it, poor Bob... :(

[@agsystems8220]

As always with cutting edge rocket science tech, the soviets tried it first. Re-entry is actually faster with the wings more angled, because that sort of design will happily sit at much higher angle of attacks. You were coming in at about 20', where you actually want to be more like 60'. My 'go to' space camp vessel is a big cockpit and two passenger modules with wings angled up at about 45', and you can leave that without SAS and no inputs and it will fly in at 60' AoA happily. Another thing cool about that sort of craft is that the wings can fold back far enough to fit inside a 2.5m fairing. One of the major problems with space planes is that manned payloads really want to be at the top of the stack, but wings really don't.
