Saturn Shuttle (concept)

#1
This a refined version of the Saturn Shuttle, where the Saturn Core is the booster of the STS Orbiter, with the cargo bay that is detachable from the spacecraft and easy to reconnect. You can reach LEO with half of the fuel of the Shuttle. All Stages were already set. Feel free to edit and improve, and share with all of us :). NO BP EDITING

Look Like Dream Chaser But With Saturn Booster

Very good!
I cant wait to see how much cooler this would be if it was bp edited ;) :)

I think you must add the fairing thing in your rocket

I knew that the original concept was like that, but I decided to make an easier version with better perfomance. If I had chosen the one in the picture I've should increase far more the thrust of the 1st stage, and the weight of the shuttle itself, too much complicated. Even this version is not perfect, but sharing is for make it better :)


PS.My apologies if I wrote wrong some sentences (the grammar expecially for ipotetic period),but English is not my native language.

Well DreamChaser is very little compared to my Shuttle. Therefore is put inside fairings while Launching, STS not. The saturn Shuttle was one the first concept when NASA was developing the Shuttle, and no one has ever published such a BP so I tought it was cool.

I should have the patience to do that, even if I know how edit BP I'm not so good at it. If you are good at it give us a shot of a BP edit of it. For example doing the tail wing took me a lot of time to imagine it and realizing it, while with BP editing is far more easier and better as results ahah ( This is the same for the nose etc). But I think is more funny to make it without it because this means you have to study more the design of every stuff

I like the concept of the Saturn shuttle, i wish they did this instead of the Boosters and EXT

Me too for sure less expensive and easier to manifacture (less money to design new tanks, engines and avionics) and for sure they could had probably reduced the cost to make the Saturn Rocket 1st stage with the progress in technology, but NASA suffers for its own lenders : The US Senate that give NASA less money than expected during the building phase. The SpaceX Starship is the natural evolution of the Space Shuttle where efficiency and saving costs were the main objective.
