iCon 4 Heavy
The eighth vehicle in my family of medium/heavy lift rockets
Features:
Reusable First Stage
Pad with Strongback
A modified version of KAL V1.1 by KellyNyanbinary
Either fly my VacSat, or insert whatever you want inside the fairing to send to a variety of orbits. (LDO GTO or Lunar Orbit. You can try Cylero, but I can’t make guarantees)
Enough Delta-V to send the satellite to Lunar Orbit and land the 1st Stage
Be sure to enable the RCS to be able to control the booster’s attitude during landing
This features the Vos Aerospace Communications Satellite Four.
Keep an eye out for the next in the series, the iCon 5!
As always, leave an upvote if you can, and have a good day!
Note: I improved on KellyNyanbinary’s design for the RCS thrusters on the first stage. I just added more ports than are on her rocket and changed the performance to make it more efficient.
About the Rocket:
• Four Natural Gas/Oxygen Full Flow Staged Engines power the impressive Core Booster
• Four banks of Cold Gas Thrusters around the core booster for attitude control during landing
• A small VosAerospace Communications satellite, mission code VacSAT 4
• Both Stages are lengthened, allowing more Delta-V in the second stage.

Yup, yup, yup... That's exactly what I did. I don't have a suitable satellite of my own, so I just grabbed the VACSat from iCon 3, plopped it on top of the booster, and BAM! Instant payload. 😁

@kittman yeah - each one is a better version of the last, with exception to the heavy variants which are just for a different purpose. Also, if one didn’t have a satellite, just add your own! if you can’t tell, the descriptions are copied and pasted

Dude you are cranking these things out like crazy! Great rocket of course... but my iCon 4 didn't come with the VacSAT 4 satellite!
...is it as cute as VacSAT 3? ;) -
well, that’s 500 downloads for a 169 part craft. the algorithm is broken.
