AC-S-3

Medium Spaceplane launched by rocket to carry small payloads to orbit. It is the bigger brother to the AC-S-0, another aircraft developed by Consentia. This plane can carry two Kerbals to orbit and a small satellite payload. It was developed when Consentia needed a cheap reusable spacecraft to ferry small satellites up to Low Kerbin Orbit. Jebediah decided to help Bill Kerman, our main engineer and mission director, design the aircraft to lift payloads of up to 1 ton into Low Kerbin Orbit. It sports its own engines for on orbit maneuvering and rendezvousing with space stations. It is an all around good vehicle that is reasonably reusable.
