Named after the great rocket scientist Sergei Korolev , this rocket is a super heavy re-usable launch vehicle. It can carry over 100 tonnes to LEO.
I am going to use it primarily as a means of getting tugs and fuel cells to orbit instead of my previous method of strapping MOAR BOOSTERS to the fuel tank.
Currently there are two variants. The cargo and crew.
The first stages all land propulsively but due to their relatively high center of mass , drogue chutes sometimes have to be used to maintain stability. The second stage isn't re-usable but it does work well as an orbital tug for other missions.
The crew variant personally looks leagues better than the cargo one. It is definitely capable of doing return missions to the moon , Mars , Phobos , Deimos and Venus while you would need a different lander for the planets.
It is inspired by many other spacecraft including Orion for the CSM , Saturn V for its mission layout , new Glenn for booster design etc.
The crew variant has a launch abort system which I'll show you guys in the next post.
Below should be attachments of screenshots during a lunar return flight.
