Bloom stands for Boostered Launch Orca To Orbit Machine

and Orca stands for Orbital Reusable Cargo Aircraft

So, this basically improved version of my Orca and thanks for 900 downloads of my Orca guys

And this gonna be may last upload. This year (2022)

Features :

• Basically an "United States horizontal takeoff and gliding landing, hydrolox-fueled fully reusable Single Stage To Orbit (SSTO) crewed bodylift Spaceplane" attached to boosters
• Basically Shuttle-derived vehicle
• Can carry up to 65 tons of payload to Low Droo Orbit, Brigo, and Luna (basically Super-heavy lift launch vehicle for american class)
• If you pro enough, you can land to Luna or Brigo with lithobraking, like Kerb- Drood style and you can also land on Luna with 60 tons payload, but in exchange it was 1 way ticket, sadly
• can carry payload up to 850 tons to fly around, but not orbiting. The TWR said it all
• the payload door was on left side, so You can release rover or something like that at Luna or Brigo surfaces
• added solar panel, for some reasons
• due to payload door moved to side, it was not possible to docking or refueling
• added autopilot, because I know You want a simple way to put this thing to orbit
• I added chutes to boosters, so (I actually didn't really test it) if you don't want that $99.9M thing lost because crashed to surface, then you'll be fine. And the best part is, I also put vizzy to it
• I put max temperature was 3000°K to the heatshield section, so you now can reentry with heat damage turned on

Activation Groups

1 : engines, AG for engines of the orca, not the boosters
2 : Payload door
3 : Lights, lamp at cockpit
4 : door, I still didn't fix it, I'm sorry
5 : Control surfaces
7 : Autopilot, this AG will automatically put you to 100 km orbit
8 : landing gear
9 : Solar panel
10 : RCS

Slider 1 down for flaps

How to use :

Step 1 : choose heading you want
Step 2 : Touch the button that says "autopilot", it will bring you up to 125 km orbit
If you want manually launch this thing, sorry, it's too complicated to type it here.
The orbit will sloping around 1.7° of angle if you use autopilot
Step 4 : you can put this to Brigo or Luna orbit or even land on it
Step 5 : good luck for reentry and landing

Note :

• I know 31 engines cluster is not the most efficient, but it can stabilize this thing up way to orbit
• This is the Juliet, for Romeo, see my SSTO Orca
• The Orca itself priced $12.7M and the boosters itself priced $99.9M, and when recovered, You can get $11.5M max refunded from Orca and around $10M max from boosters, and that means cost per launch of Bloom was around $91M
• The boosters itself was also an SSTO, so this basically an SSTO connected to SSTO and the booster itself can also carry 65 tons to LDO
• I hear you said "OMG!11!! This guy copying Space Shuttle/Buran!!1!" Yes, but actually no, the launch style was same but also different, I can't tell you cuz it's just consuming my precious time
• don't forget to turn on AG 5 before reentry
• Droods still clipping when EVA, I didn't fix it
• I still didn't put gyroscope, so use timewarp
• uhh... it seems I forgot to remove switch with docking port sign... sorry
• main landing gear are bit glitchy, so you need to fix it by yourself, I'm not lazy, but I didn't really test the new landing gear config
• You can see I put 8 side interstages, it's my secret recipe to feed the hungry engines from core booster to Orca

Bonus

• Play Don't Leave by Gummy Boy or The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss II For better experience when flying with this thing
(Yeah, you know where The Blue Danube
reference came from)

Bye
