Microshuttle Redux - Super Tiny 709 kg Orbiter in Kerbal Space Program

It's both weird and logical that you need very advanced technology to build smaller and more basic aircrafts.

Sure

[@selensewar]

[@ilyearer]

Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but the reason the shuttle still rolls on the flat runway is because Kerbin is small enough that the length of the runway feels significantly different gravitational force directions away from the Normal axis at each end of the runway. If you are perfectly in the middle of the runway, it won't roll, but that's why your shuttle is rolling towards the middle of the runway. Scott Manley pointed this out in one of his videos a while back.

[@g4l4x83]

The return of the king! Nice to have ya back :D

You are so wrong Matt is the King

Try the middle of the runway. The two ends seem slanted despite the runway being perfectly straight, because it does not follow the cutvature of the planet ;)

[@Danbearpig]

The no-brakes shuttle chase was great. Reminded me of The Gods Must Be Crazy.

[@sbvera13]

Instead of wheels, you can use a girder as a landing skid. 80 m/s of crash tolerance and no deployment problems :)

[@vosechu]

Shuttle rolling away in the background is very, very kerbal

[@Logarithm906]

The runway at KSC is perfectly flat. It means each end of the runway is actually angled relative to Kerbin's gravity. Giving you a downward slope. Because rolling resistance is so low and kerbin so small, it's enough of a slope to get vessels rolling on their own.

[@Corenti_DEV]

Shadowzone: makes a 709kg rocket Matt lowne: uhhh ima make a 710kg ssto to mun.

[@drako3659]

It's rolling because of the curvature of kerbin. The ground around the runway is actually flatter.

[@russiangoose4349]

This is not a shuttle it’s a space bean

[@russiangoose4349]

Yes I just said that

[@pinba4136]

Its not just funny, its useful too! Great creation!

[@omsi-fanmark]

Kerbals getting claustrophobic!

[@zuthalsoraniz6764]

The reason it rolls away even on the runway actually is because the runway is perfectly flat - but Kerbin is not, so the ends of the runway are slightly higher up than the middle.

Awesome tiny shuttle May I suggest a lil landing leg to deploy at the back to act as a brake and offset the landing to reduce the nose dipping after landing on the ground Super cool vid

You should launch a space shuttle with the micro shuttle in it and launch it to Minmus.

[@SanjayVerma-bc7bs]

very cool and i also made a space shuttle that is so tiny that the entire launch vehicle can fit inside the cargo bay of this and yes its just flying debris that kinda of looks like a space shuttle and yes i made without mods

[@SanjayVerma-bc7bs]

and its also atmospheric but its my first ever space shuttle looking thing so uh yea

[@Shadowflare6]

I know this video is several months old but I figured I'd put this here anyway. The reason why your shuttle continued to roll after you had landed on the runway is because the runway is perfectly flat, but the planet and gravity is not. If you put a plane on the very end of the runway, it'll roll toward the center. Only the center of the runway is flat in relation to gravity. This is because the planet is so small

Send this to orbit with a normal shuttle, and then send the shuttle with the microsat to eve.

pst, you can park it like many people park their trailers. rotate your front wheel 90 degrees and it should move less, and it it does move it will only go in really funny circles
