I’ve been looking at the results of the last few orbital flights for 0M1CR0N, and I’ve decided to show some of the data here, along with some math.
After reaching orbit, the upper stage of 0M1CR0N has about 20% fuel left on the low end, and 30% on the high end. Typically, I’ve had about 25% left. This leaves ~2000 dV. After 1 refueling, I would have ~50% fuel, or 4000 dV. This would probably be just enough to make a Cylero landing. This is why one of the next prototype, 18, will do a Cylero test mission.
I would also like to mention that Prototype 17 exploded while doing a test firing, resulting in its destruction. Booster prototype 7 was scrapped because 8 has some improvements. This means 8 and 18 are next in line.
RIP prototype 17
