This is a fairing for Yury Kulchitsky's Energia launcher. The idea is that you attach it using payload manager, and it sits on top of the launcher, providing you with an inline alternative to the Energia's Buran-T.
Instructions for use:
1. Create an Energia vessel in your Orbiter simulation.
2. In the scenario editor, hit location and position it somewhere on the ground.
3. Pause Orbiter
4. Create an EnergiaFairing vessel.
5. Without unpausing Orbiter, attach the fairing to the Energia using Energia's Payload Manager dialog. Position the fairing at (0, 0, 51.40).
6. Just as usual, place your payloads in the fairing (again using the Energia's Payload Manager system).
7. Launch. Up until the point when the fairing is automatically jettisoned at 80km, the entire fairing structure will weigh 12 mT. After the fairing itself is jettisoned, the block sitting on top of the launcher will weigh 1 mT.
Thanks goes out here to the following people:
Yury Kulchitsky, for creating the awesome Energia for Orbiter.
Vinka, for the 3ds2msh utility.
And most importantly...
Martin Schweiger, for creating Orbiter itself!
