    I miss Gene Kerman.

    Just wait until I add parachutes to Apteryx-9!

    Depends on the variation. The original Apteryx-9 had a bare metal fairing while Apteryx-9B has a plain white one.

    Size comparison of most beyond rockets on KerbalX. (Novera is not on KerbalX yet) Rockets from left to right: Novera US-1, Kitten II, Apteryx-9, Apteryx-9B, RBS, RBS-C "Capricorn" and Novera. (Includes rockets that have not launched yet.)

    Welcome back, Director! Another succesful mission in the record books! And what a monument you've found! The figure looks a little like a Kerbal, but what's with the squid mouth?

    I agree but they would have to be changed somehow. Maybe a "Complexity" system that is similar to part count restraint but things like engines take more away then fuel tanks. Maybe things like liquid engines require more Complexity Points then SRB's. You could also gain more Complexity Points in construction and main research nodes.

    The only rocket that is even comparable to it is the Tendagurensis. And that rocket hasn't launched in years. Could you add more craft from Beyond to KerbalX? And also add the Libra Orbit to the hanger? Its already there.

    Kiwi Tech Novera Update For the majority of Kerbal kind's presence in space it has been prohibitively expensive to launch Payloads into space. Although on Year 3, Day 182 that all changed when the worlds first reusable rocket that could launch a significant amount of mass to orbit was launched. This seemingly small feat completely changed the game for private company's looking to launch Station Modules, Commsats and even Crewed vehicles! Although the cost to launch small and medium payloads has decreased there has been no change in heavy lift launchers. This is why we have decided to develop the Novera rocket Wait but why do we even need cheaper heavy lift launchers? Well There's multiple reasons. One of the reasons is to establish a permanent presence on the Mun and Minmus. Another reason is to allow future stations to become much larger then the aging Kerman station. Now how do you achieve a rocket that can be cheaply reused and have a high cadence? Well we can start with a 2 stage reusable rocket. The first stage can use Technologies' similar to already existing reusable rockets. The second stage is a much harder challenge as you have to design it to manage the insane amount of heat from returning from the Mun. To solve the heat problems we have developed an actively cooled heatshield using the propellants as coolant. we also put fins on the top to increase stability while not melting off like A.I.R.B.R.A.K.E.S would. So far development has gone along well so well in fact that we should have an upper stage test article ready to fly early next year. Now its time for some basic details about this rocket! Its payload to LKO with full reuse is 55 Tons. Its payload without reuse is 110 Tons. It can also utilize orbital refueling to increase its capability's further. Oh one last thing! Say hello to Novera! (Novera Concept art.)
