iCon 3SB4
The sixth 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 LDO, GTO or Lunar Orb
Enough Delta-V to send a satellite to GTO 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 One, Mission Code vacSat1
Keep an eye out for the next in the series, the iCon 4!
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 more small Solid Rocket Boosters arranged radially around the Core propel the iCon 3SB4 up for the first 20 seconds of flight, allowing rapid acceleration of large payloads without expending too much Methalox. They detach right before throttle down, which takes place just before Max-Q.
• A small VosAerospace Communications satellite, mission code VacSAT 2

@Doublehsh Ok. When you get it join my server, and I can send you some drawings I j made along with a prototype of the crew cabin i j started. However, my prototype is just a layout with no detail. Hopefully you can add that.

@Doublehsh That would be cool - I can’t build interiors but I could def do the exterior. R u on my discord? It would be easier to coordinate

@Doublehsh Yup. I have a rough shape right now, plus a small mockup of the crew area
