My first reusable rocket! It goes into a circular orbit but it does not have a specific orbit height. This will be added in one of the next updates. It does not land accurately yet. It will in the future. That will be v+1.0.

The largest reliably reusable first stage on Simple Rockets!

Capable of getting to RSS orbit with an expendable first stage

Max Payload: 15,000 kilograms

Next up: updates of this until it can land reliably on the LZ1

    1. I will try to raise the stage separation point. At least to get the second stage out of the atmosphere.
    2. I know it is a very high start and I will try to lower it. It can’t be lowered to much otherwise it doesn’t have enough thrust to land. Even with all engines activated. 2-3 km is way too low.

    Thanks for the advice. I will keep working. Hopefully all of the kinks will be worked out soon. But probably after accurate landing occur.

    there are a few things that should be improved.
    1. The stage separation occurs too early, I suggest adjusting it a little, so you can increase the load capacity by several tons.
    2. Also, landing burn starts early, in fact, a lot of fuel is also spent on it, here I propose to force the 1st stage to start the engines for landing at a distance of 2-3 kilometers. So you can save a lot of fuel.
      And in general, everything goes perfectly.

    @JSO18 and the capsules CSM will need a re design (probably just some tinkering).

    @Tweedle_Aerospace ok

    @JSO18 yes. Hopefully very soon. But first I am going make it so that you can choose your orbit. That way it will be easier.

    @Tweedle_Aerospace yeah... it took me so long to get from my bullet to my sparrow rockets because the craft switching is so hard to get right

    @JSO18 this would have been released earlier but there was a weird glitch in the switch program that I had to fix last minute.

    @Tweedle_Aerospace will future versions be able to carry the twdle CPSLEII?

    @Tweedle_Aerospace nice! I just finished trying it and it worked great!

    @JSO18 15,000 forgot to put that. It will be improved soon. It might even be 30,000 in the future. Seeing that the upper stage doesn’t need RCS.

    What is the max payload to LDO?
