https://sharing.spaceflightsimulator.app/rocket/on3k6dZ-Ee2dFbuAd13aUA. This is the Russian built Energia 8SA (SA is for SH∆RD aerospace, we partnered with Russia in Seas of Jupiter's alt universe.) It consists of 2 Angara A5 boosters, an Energia 5 (https://www.russianspaceweb.com/energia5k.html) first stage, and a proton second stage that has a modified Orel Spacecraft (https://www.russianspaceweb.com/acts.html) up top. The Orel-2 Spacecraft has a docking module up top for extra cargo, a docking port on the bottom of the service module, and the main capsule has a detachable secondary heat shield in case you re-enter the atmosphere too fast, and a docking port for once the docking module is jettisoned. Overall, a great rocket to launch a crew of 6 to a 200 km high station in realistic mode.

okay so I can't figure out how this computer works so can somebody take a screenshot of the rocket in build screen and also launch the rocket press the first staging button, clear debris, and then take a screenshot?

all right I'm just going to turn this into a progress thread on all projects related to the Energia 8SA. I'm currently designing an upper stage with loosely based on the 4 m wide DCSS used on the Delta 3. it is going to be elongated and have United on the top symbolizing how Russia and the United States are united.

all right the upper stage is docked to a space station and it's awaiting refueling. it turns out no rocket I had was strong enough to lift it so I had to design a completely new one.
