@Well If possible, could you please consider adding a roll control vernier/ aerodynamic RCS pod for use on a single SRB stack?

i'm not sure i understand what do you want, my SRB first stage have gimbal. do you just want rcs pod ? do you have eventually a picture ksp or real of a part like that.

sorry about that, my english have some limit sometime

I understand it has gimbal, but single-nozzle stages, even with gimbal, have no means of controlling roll. Look at the Atlas rocket; after it drops its' booster skirt, leaving a single main engine, it relies on an extra pair of verniers to control its' roll. Similarly the Titan second stage uses a single side-mounted exhaust for this purpose, and again similarly Soyuz 2.1v has a single NK-33 with 4 clustered vernier engines.

i see now, i've never see something like that in esa/french stuff, i could maybe try to make something, but idk....         "maybe"

European launcher like Vega... use RCS mounted on upper stage to control the roll

A Vega-style RCS motor would be perfect for this purpose. Atlas II and Ares IX used something similar.

New RCS Pod 3 way for upper stage control :

a really small for roll control on small rocket and a srf attach monoprop fuel tank.

I've just also take the time to set camera switch for Hermes IVA, and fixed some weird poly :

If thinking about new launcher, i find some old picture of super heavy launcher derivated from Arianne 5. Very sad than ESA does not have a proper budget and ambition. Space X could have had some competition.

i know all of them, only H620 & H920 was unknown for me (those with us booster)

We have already some parts to try to reproduce some of those concept, i don't have planned to add more part for that.

Thanks for the share

Edit: from what i read i think A5 H620 and H920 are probably purpose by Mars society, not really by an industrial, so just probably a "theoric" rocket

Next Time attempt to make a duna mission with a Ariane 5SH

 

 

Thanks @Well for this amazing mod, will be difficult to go KSP 2 without this masterpiece.

Time to go Duna with a Ariane 5SH, difficult to design, engine a little low on thrust.

 

Ready to take off:

Good bye Kerbin..
