Hello, I'm Zack. Today, I would like to introduce to you all... The Caspian Aerospace Association's newest project, inspired by the ITSA Oslo,

The CAA CHL (Cargo Heavy-Lift)!

In testing, I have determined it can send at least 200 tons to LEO. Further improvements and iterations will be made in the following weeks.

(Special thanks to mariohobbs for turning off engine heat! BP Editing is a pain on mobile.)

Nice, the cargo bay seems to bulge out a bit though, you may want to add a fairing to the cargo bay to help reduce drag. But overall neat rocket, Can it only get to LEO or can it go farther?

Well, technically the ships by ITSA have a big payload capacity while thinking of aerodynamics

I mean, but ITSA ships are like larger than the asteroid by earth, it doesn't really matter how aero-dynamic you are at that scale

I have been able to reach HEO, but I would have to test the

I can also reach HEO, but I would have to test Δv before making assumptions on how far it can go.
