Can I model this concept rocket for my first task?

 

[Marmilo]

I believe it has to be an existing rocket. Not sure though, ask an admin.

I don't think so. As long as it's based on something real and not something you've made up.
I'm intending on making a designed and documented but never finished rocket as well as a loophole to my 'no replicas' rule.

Otherwise things like Starship/Super-heavy is out of the running.

Is this rocket legal for the second task, Mars return? Total Weight 2000Ton 1stStage thrust 2400T 2ndStage Thrust 800T.

Long as it gets there and back without breaking, anything goes weight wise.

Can I build my LEO Space Station using these four rockets?

1) Docking Core with own 4 way propulsion.
2) Escape ship.
3) Another Ship to be docked with Station.
4) Large (36m x 16m) Fuel Tank to act as Hab complex.

 

[Junipurr]

Smaller white tanks on other three launches become other parts of Space Station.

Don't see why not. They're a bit on the big side for a small payload, but they'll get the job done

A bit big because I grabbed Some BP from my main project (explore the galaxy) and made some adjustments.

These entries are just fine, but the replica needs to have been actually built, even if only as a wet dress rehearsal. Yours need to attain orbit with its payload though. Payloads can be anything, and is not counted as part of the launch vehicle, which is the subject of replication.

Okay, I will search for something else to my liking.

all you need to do is label, launch and assemble the station, then we can evaluate it

Yes, of course it’s allowed. I don’t see why not. All you have to do is go to Mars and back, without breaking anything.

I am having a bug with the tripple fairing layout again, the work around I know about, I am not willing toniae for this, so I have choosen to remove the side fairings. Will post screen shots once I manage to pull off the Parachute Mars Landing without breaking a landing leg for touching down just over 10mps, oops.

To be honest I don’t think you need that amount of fuel, you just need a couple more of stages to be a little more efficient. But, is your decision in the end.

The first and second stage of this design is well tested on my phone. I can reach LMO Mars with 14% fuel still in stage 2, it is overpowered for sure, but it is part of my current main project, explore the galaxy, so the extra fuel would otherwise be used to jump from Mars to a Jovian Rendezvous with an Automated refuelling rocket from the Veega Trajectory. The combined fuel load used mainly for landing on the Jovian moons, like in previous adventures. Unlike previous adventures, I plan to use low burn interplanetary orbits which I am working on a map for at the same time. Multi tasking threads for planning out the big one.

Ah, sorry. I understand.

 

[Junipurr]

Ah, sorry. I understand.

No problem, I don't mind explaining my rationale, and admitting my failures. I only mind if it is like, 'you are a noob for building such a big rocket.' As I demonstrated on Team Titan, I can build tiny efficient rockets too.

I don’t think anyone can say that to you. You know what you are doing, that’s clear.

Task 2 Mars return, no damage, no cheats. Images attached. Notes:

-Seperated fairing and shrouds above stage 2 while in LEO.
-Extra Fuel in Stage 2 left in lazy Mars sub-orbit near Phobos while Lander hammered into an early landing approach.
-I stuck the Parachute landing this time without damaging the Left Landing Leg.
-Rendezvous with Stage 2 above Mars was deliberately rushed and not optimal. Fuel Transfered and Stage 2 discarded.
-Arrival Earth SOI, carefully separated side landing pods becuase they still had a lot of useable fuel in them, and let them drift through space on a highly eliptical orbit past Earth.
-Just before hitting Earth's atmosphere, discarded last two stages, which were almost empty by planning.

How about this rocket, Gilmore Space Technologies. It had one succesful test flight in 2016 of a single stage, and a failed launch of the three stage version on 2019. It is a hybrid micro rocket, with 300kg payload, so I would need to BP edit and scale it down after building it.

Now that would be a unique entry... simple, but unique.

Nice.
