International Mission

[Danny Batten]

Ah, IOS remember? I can send you a picture if that’s ok?

The pod is just for control testing

 

[8BitCosmonaut]

Russia/Soviet Union (ROSCOSMOS):
Proton [Ready!]

Here you go.

Soyuz-FG <- Completed by @The Blazer , awaiting .bp folder.
Soyuz-2 <- Competing: @The Blazer , @Elon puff
Angara <- Submissions: @Elon puff, no competitors yet.
Energia
Buran, Energia

Ukraine (SSAU):
Zenit

USA (NASA):
SLS
Ares I
Atlas V <- Submissions: SupremeDorian, no competitors yet.
Delta IV Heavy [READY!]

Found it. Feel free to make some improvements to it if you want. The payload fairing is just a placeholder because @Lt. Snakestrike is making a payload attachment system for all of these.

Vulcan [READY!]

Here is my Vulcan launcher.

China (CNSA , 中国航天):
Long March 5
Long March 6
Long March 7

Europe (ESA):
Ariane 5 <- Completed by @Altair, awaiting .bp folder.

USA (SpaceX):
Falcon 9 <- Submissions @Lt. Snakestrike, no competitors yet.
Falcon Heavy <- Submissions @Lt. Snakestrike, no competitors yet.
BFR

Japan (JAXA):
H-II [READY!]

The pod is just for control testing

H-IIA
H-IIB <- Submissions: @BANDWITH, no competitors yet.
H-III

*STS-M or the Modernized STS is a complete redesign of the original STS. The entire systems are overhauled to Cosmo's personal standards:
1) Pressurized cockpit is detachable in the event of catastrophic failure, loaded with parachutes which will ensure a soft landing on descent.
2) Boosters are replaced with LF variants, the External Tank can accept either Falcon 9 First Stages (reusable or expendable) or Rocketdyne F-1M/E (Modernized and Expendable Effective) boosters.
3) RS-25 engines are removed from the Shuttle and placed onto the external tank so as to allow the enlargement of the shuttle's payload bay.
4) Shuttle will be placed on top of the external tank and be secured by a payload adapter similar to that of the SLS, this is to prevent damage to the heat shield from falling foam of the external tank.
5) The external booster must be recoverable.

**COC stands for Cosmo's Overhual Challenge.

What's the weight on that? With a slight modification that'd be able to fit my Super Heavy no problem.
Of course, it's still lacking in payload space though.

A) I use solid fuel tanks as a worst case load test.
B) Weighs 1050t. This is still going to change a lot. I just got the shape down and I'm figuring out how to get the nose on cheat free.

 

[BANDWITH]

H IIB, again.

 

[Danny Batten]

Man, too late, didn't finish my H IIB.

Hehe you snooze you loose

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

Alright, at that weight the Super Heavy would have a TWR of 1.15, so it'd work.

 

[TtTOtW]

That is great news

 

[TtTOtW]

That is great news

That is of course notably lower than what the final TWR will be

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

Yeah, exactly. I'm great at designing boosters, but not as much with the spaceship side. Glad I don't have to try at starship, that wouldn't turn out well.

 

[Danny Batten]

Long March 5.

The boosters have the second engine as I obviously can’t do the front and back boosters.

 

[TtTOtW]

Test ready (testing will be done on Mars)

 

[BANDWITH]

Zenit-2

It's gonna need a docking port too (shuttle style) for ISS docking (also for the station we're making).

 

[8BitCosmonaut]

Zenit-2
View attachment 16072

A lot of inaccuracies. There are 3 stages, not 2.
Use two titans for the first stage, not frontiers since the engines are RD-171s.
Use one broadsword for the second stage and one grasshopper for the third stage.

Refer to this

The booster choices are correct, you could change the core 2 titans with hawks since they are using weaker more efficient engines. The cone at the top is also more tapered than curved, you could use two right angled cones rather than the isosceles ones.

So like this?

Could you change the legfins around a little bit to add a docking port, something like this? (I know the BP's rough) also, that upper stage is gonna need Titans... those are currently frontiers, aren't they?

Edit: would connect with Super Heavy This way:

 

[TtTOtW]

Thank you for the reference, Lieutenant.

What rockets are able to be build for base game

 

[Bananas]

Well, I think it would be hard to build any of these rockets with only the base game, but I may be wrong.

I'm compiling a list with Cosmo, we'll clear this up tomorrow.

 

[TtTOtW]

But there are a few.

 

[Elon puff]

Since Blazer isn't uploading a soyuz 2 variant I might as well stick a fairing on mine
