StormWorks Space Program!

Space Shuttle Discovery is one of the orbiters from NASA's Space Shuttle program and the third of five fully operational orbiters to be built. Its first mission, STS-41-D, flew from August 30 to September 5, 1984. Over 27 years of service it launched and landed 39 times, aggregating more spaceflights than any other spacecraft to date. The Space Shuttle launch vehicle has three main components: the Space Shuttle orbiter, a single-use central fuel tank, and two reusable solid rocket boosters. Nearly 25,000 heat-resistant tiles cover the orbiter to protect it from high temperatures on re-entry.



Update contains a compete rebuild. only used some old components.

NOTE: YOU NEED FULL PHYISICS FOR THE TOWER TO GO UP

I tried to make it as easy as posible to drive the ship and launch the shuttle. Make sure you dont use it with more than 35% wind!

When you press the Launch button in the space shuttle it will count down from 30 to launch.
The Launch itself will be fully automated. You only have to watch the burn time of the boosters and disconnect the Solid rocket boosters and External Fuel tank on time. When everything is disconnected take controls (by pressing take controls button) to fly yourself.
