The Son Of Scorpio is an expendable heavy-lift launch vehicle capable of taking 35 tonnes into orbit, the vehicle is optimised for taking payloads into high energy orbits, such as interplanetary transfer orbits.

The rocket uses 4 kerolox gas-generator engines as well as 4 SRBs on the first stage and 2 methalox FFSC engines on the upper stage, it uses the same upper stage as the PeaceLauncher and was initially designed for testing the concept of an FFSC upper stage.

    There is a heavier variant I'm planning on posting when I can, which is basically the same, just with different SRBs and a payload capacity closer to the capacity of the PeaceLauncher.

    Link to the PeaceLauncher for anyone interested: https://www.simplerockets.com/c/GW04r8/PeaceLauncher-Block-B

    Like the majority of my rockets, this can also launch the Blossom Capsules: https://www.simplerockets.com/c/8S0Q48/PeaceLauncher-Blossom-Space-System-Trio
