It appears Skylark X has obtained a powerful first stage! Skylark XX can now take heavier payloads to higher altitudes! The first stage burns for about 6 seconds, boosting the second stage high up, before separating and letting the secind stage take over, with its longer-burning, less powerful engine. It is fully reusable, with the first stage deploying a parachute at separating (in Juno, it deploys when you activate the “Stage Sep & S2 Fire” AG) and the rest of the rocket goes up, comes down and is reused in one piece!
This configuration of Skylark X may fly irl by as early as 2031!
as usual, everything is AG operated
fairing is operated by activating the “Fairing” AG and using slider 1
