Perseus 1

The first vehicle in my new family of ultra-small orbital class rockets

This rocket is only 300,000kg with the pad, allowing for the very small cost of 1.2M per launch, making space accessible to all.

Features:

Pad with Hold Down Clamps
A modified version of KAL V1.1 by KellyNyanbinary
Enough Delta-V to send a small satellite to Low Droo Orbit
A unique system which allows for a low cost of 1.2 Million dollars per launch, which is significantly lower than the competitors.

This does NOT have a satellite ready-made, but it does have an interstage connector for a small payload.

Keep an eye out for the next in the series, the Perseus 2!

As always, leave an upvote if you can, and have a good day!

    @ILoveSpaceALot I understand that. However, you look ridiculous complaining about me shutting you down IN MY OWN COMMENTS SECTION. Also, maybe you could consider posting smarter not harder, like using peak times and making good crafts.

    And I was not “attacking” you, I was letting you know I get annoyed by complaints

    @ILoveSpaceALot All I asked you to do was not self-promote on other people’s posts. I try to be professional here but that was just childish. If you don’t stop, I am going to block you and report your account. It’s not acceptable to show up to someone’s comments section, violate the basic etiquette that is mutually understood on the site, then get mad and attack me for it.

    @VosAerospace yeah, I don't have the pad, I really shouldn't have used 9 engines on the first stage.

    "1.2 Million dollars per launch, which is significantly lower than the competitors."

    I was talking about my zip rocket, you should try to reuse the first stage, it can cut costs significantly (like the zip rocket) all you need to do is stick a big parachute and voila it's reusable!
