Overview:

I actually built this about 2 weeks ago, but I’ve been focusing more on school than Simple Rockets lately, so I didn’t put it on a rocket until just now. Basically, it’s just a fancy command module that doubles as a lander and rocket on its own. This is just the basic design, so a lot is subject to change. Some known issues are that the landing legs do not keep it still on an inclined surface, they become so unstable that after landing, it got up to 30m/s when I landed on a hill (at least it usually stays in one piece). The launch escape system also isn’t as effective as I would like, and some of the capsule lights are covered up by the landing legs when they are retracted. Once again this is just a preview to show you guys what I’m working on, and that I’m still alive.

Also, the “real deal” will not be on this rocket. I am designing a whole new rocket just for this payload and many others.
