Space Lifter 2 Bagma is an SSTO rocket with simplicity and potato performance in mind (46 parts!). It was originally meant to lift a single kiloton of payload into low droo orbit. But after actually making the rocket, it turns out that it's capable of carrying 1.5 kT with maximum fuel.
The rocket's designed purpose is to carry space station parts quickly (the reason why it's SSTO) and cheaply (hence the reusability). The SL-1 (and it's super and mega variant) was too complicated and too manual, and I wanted to make hundreds of launches so I could focus on assembling the space stations rather than on landing boosters.
It's career compatible. Late-game.
Tested:
50% fuel: 500 t payload
75% fuel: 1 kT payload
100% fuel: 1.5 kT payload
The recommended deltaV is around 5.5 km/s into low droo orbit. Worried about not being able to make it? Don't worry, the rocket is installed with Olleus' AGTL (check em out!), so all you have to do is press space and relax. Deorbiting is simple, just graze the atmosphere a little bit, and it'll decelerate quickly.
It could carry slightly more if you're planning on throwing the rocket away, which is ill-advised, because it's meant to be water-recoverable.
The rocket is named after Bagma, a great leader of Daisi, and one of the earliest Ewana.
