"Aurora Clipper" Superheavy Orbital Spaceplane

The persistent problem with conventional rockets is the expense of having larger payloads. For a larger payload you need a larger rocket with more powerful engines, but those engines need more fuel which ALSO weighs the rocket down. This is the problem that has been holding back rocketry for decades, and the Aurora clipper is here to solve that. With 6 Turbofan jet engines and 4 liquid fuel rocket engines, it has the power to get into orbit, while also being efficient on ascent thanks to using jets rather than rockets.


The electrical system is critical for any aircraft, and lights too. The Clipper features all standard aviation lights and retracting landing / taxi lights that fit flush with the fuselage until they are deployed. all lights are found at the back of the overhead panel

The electrical system is run off 2 huge batteries in the fuselage. All of this is controlled by a single button on the overhead panel. For charging batteries in space, deploy the solar panels (found on the centre column towards the back) and adjust the angle for optimal charge.


The life support system is designed to be simple and easy to use. To activate it;

- Enable "LSS Main" on the lower deck of the crew area
- Set the temperature (c)

You can monitor pressure and temperature from the cockpit on the overhead panel


The nose acts as the cargo bay door and will be open when you load the vehicle. to open or close it, look to your left in the cockpit and find the switch "Nose-Swing close." Once you press it, the nose should close. To open it, un-switch "Nose-Swing close" and switch the "Unlock nose-swing cargo door." this acts as a safety feature to prevent the nose from being accidentally opened.

To eject cargo, look to your left again and you'll see 4 buttons, each one controls a section of the cargo bay. If you're unsure which section your cargo is in, the cargo bay has markings on the floor to divide up the sections which are labeled on the walls.


The APU and jet engines run off the same fuel tanks. On the back end of the centre panel there are 3 arrow buttons that control the fuel tank flow. you'll need these for the engines to run

To start the APU;

- Fuel tank valves (reccomeded to draw from all 3 to maintain balance)
- APU Main
- APU Start (hold until 30 RPM)

To start the jet engines;

- "APU Ready" Light must be on
- Engine # Main
- Engine # Start

(do this until all 6 engines are running)


In the cockpit the Clipper features a screen on the centre column to display a map, and a screen in between the windows displaying a radar boresight. Both these screens have control panels next to them for basic functions. On the centre column, there is a large and small keypad. The large keypad is for entering coordinates to display a route on your map screen and the small keypad is for the radio frequency for comms. Comms can be used by pressing PTT (or push to talk) in the pilots seat.


The optimal throttle for taxi is ~25% with the parking brake off.
For takeoff, make sure all your engines are running (engine 1 and 6 may have a slightly lower RPM) and apply full throttle. Once airborne, retract the landing gear (Note - The landing gear wont be able to retract if you are pulling up)


The Aurora Clipper is fitted with the basic essentials of autopilot on a spaceplane;

Heading set
Pitch set

The pitch control is especially useful for orbital flight because it may want to pitch down or up depending on altitude (this is not intentional and has no fix)

The heading set is useful for navigating to runways after de-orbiting. Use the map screen to make a general assumption on what heading to input.

To use the Pitch control;

Enable "Autopilot - Pitch" and use the "Nose down" and "Nose up" buttons to control it. you can see your pitch on the gauge next to it.

To use Heading control;

Enable "Autopilot - Heading" and use the "Heading adjust left" and Heading adjust right" arrow buttons to set your desired heading.


for an optimal ascent, use the "Auto Ascend" button and apply full throttle. This will put you on a trajectory to space and start leveling out at 50km. Use the "RCS control" button at higher altitudes

When approaching 12km, the jet engines will start losing power, that means its time to use the...


Rocket engines are a necessity for spaceflight, which is why its a good thing the Aurora Clipper has 4.

Its quite simple to use them. Simply;

- Enable all "Rocket # Thruster prime" Switches
- Enable "Ignite Thrusters"
- Increase "Rocket Throttle"


- The retractable jet intakes are purely cosmetic and have no impact on the performance of the spaceplane.
- It flies strangely in the atmosphere which may require you to use your rudder more often than the ailerons.

- You'll need to have modded workbenches to spawn this. Theres a good amount of mods for this on the workshop but it can also be manually done.
