[Altair Aerospace]

these days I restarted to work on my ambitious project: a reusable capsule capable of reaching Mars and return to Earth.My new capsule called Altair is write whit dll libraries and she support Ummo.She
was born with my previous add-ons (Phoenix) and is designed to travel both short and long term, obviously with different configurations at launch.In the Screenshot there is a long range (named) version,You can immediately notice the presence of 4 engines will be used in the final phase of landing,infact the capsule will not fit it with a spalshdown but will land in a hangar

The SM seems the same of the old Poderosa II capsule... but with two engines instead of five. :hmm:

Oh and, for me, the retrorockets on the balloon-shaped CM are oriented in the wrong sense! Or i did not understand the functioning of this spacecraft.

Looks good, can't wait to see it!

yes the service module takes the "look" from Poderosa :embarrassed: .The CM has retrorockets on the contrary to protect them during re-entry,after the critical part of atmospheric re-entry, rotate and position themselves for the counterthrust
