For those curious, the future Cloud Aerospace launcher lineup is as follows;

 

From left to right;
*snip*

Vapor, a methane based recoverable booster

Cloud 1 Plus, a standard Cloud 1 core with 2 Luna IX cores attached

Cloud 1, our current rocket, solid rocket fueled first stage with a hybrid solid rocket fueled second stage. First stage is recoverable

Luna IX, our largest sound rocket

Luna IY, our medium sized sounding rocket

Luna IZ, our smallest sized sounding rocket.

 

Now sadly I cannot provide numbers as to stats (even though I work for Cloud Aerospace). However I can say that the Cloud 1 rocket is still on course for it's test fire in November with it's launch set for early 2018. That said, our focuses are on Cloud 1 currently with these other launch vehicles close in mind.

So stick with us as we keep working and we'll try to continue to post updates as they happen! Fun times ahead!

aaaaAAAAAH TOO MANY KSP REPLICAS

BE RIGHT BACK

 

This is too awesome! :D I already wanted to do this, but now I really want to help somehow, even though I'm not sure what I could do!

So would Vapor have a Cloud One upper stage? because otherwise I don't see that getting to orbit.

Also, what's the funding plan? If it was me, I would provide small scale sub-orbital services on Luna IY first, followed by IZ and IX to expand those services, with Cloud One following after a economical base is built up.

@Tristonwilson12 is the one you'd talk to if you wanted to join, granted he's out for at least the rest of the week but he'll likely be around to discuss it once he gets back :) .

Vapor is a 1st stage only concept (as far as I'm aware of). It would be accompanied by a capable second stage. What that would be I do not know.

According to Triston, we have a private investor who's helping us, but I'm unsure about exactly what details I can and can not disclose so I have to leave it at that.

As it stands, I've heard we have a contracts for both the Cloud 1 vehicle and one of the Luna's (uncertain of the details). I would disclose the contractors but again, I am uncertain due to Non-disclosure agreements and whatnot.

Hope this answers some questions.

Sounds cool to me, I'll ask Triston when he comes back. I've always wanted to do something like this, however I am unfortunately a bit too young (literally turned 15 last week) and have too much stuff to do something of this scale.

As a French high-wire man once said, turn those question marks in exclamation points.

If I am not mistaken, Triston is not that old himself. I think he is in or has graduated high school. @ZooNamedGames am I correct?

I don't think I could actually join right now.

That's all for now! I'll make the Vapor and at least one of the Luna rockets later. Blame Squad for the absence of black parts.

Ran out of likes :P

But anyway, the real question here is....

How many banana's tall is it? This needs to be a new form a measurement stat.

But seriously, this is awesome, and SIXTEEN TONNES!? Metric or Imperial? I know the two are close but isn't Metric like 90% of Imperial?

 

Have there been any test launches for the Luna rockets? If not, When? (It can just be a season)
