idk how to word the description yet, but icarus is the best thing i've designed so far.
The first stage uses 11 methalox FFSC engines (same layout as PeaceLauncher Block C) and the upper stage uses 2 hydrolox electric pump-fed engines.
It's the most powerful single core launch vehicle with a 5m diameter i've made and can take 85 tonnes to LEO with booster reuse. (the orbit won't be precise though so you'll have to make adjustments with the payload after separation)
The booster is the second design to use RCS thrusters (astra is the first) and is the first to have an automated landing program too (you may have to make adjustments to the code depending on if you land in the ocean or on land though)
i spent ages working on this thing, if you like it please upvote it.
(btw the writing on the upper stage: 'Nos Sidera Possidemus' means 'We own the stars' because i thought it sounded cool and matches the overall theme of the rocket)

You gotta work hard to get 85 tons to LDO with only a 5m diameter single core LV! Congrats. If i had enough points, i’d upvote :D
Edit: i can upvote now! Have my upvote :)

@JACKIEAEROSPACEINDUSTRIES there's lots of versions of it: crew, cargo, tanker, refueler and an extended tanker so idk which you want the link for. It'd be easier if you just looked on my posts yourself
