A couple of simple rockets


Recommended Posts

After comparing some of my rockets to other designs, I decided to follow one of Brian Eno\'s Oblique Strategies: 'Discover the recipes you are using and abandon them.'

My goal here was to create a series of rockets built upon each other, with different mission goals, and with a crapton of fuel to spare. So here they are.

L-Series 100 lander - Suitable for Mun landing/return and safe landing on Kerbin.

KO-100 orbiter - Carries the L-Series 100 lander. Capable of Kerbin orbit and de-orbit with no space debris. Also appropriate for delivery of satellites or small space station modules.

MM-100 Mun mission system - Incorporates the KO-100, capable of delivering it intact with plenty of fuel to Mun or Minmus. Landing would require some legs, but it is possible. It may even have enough fuel to return to Kerbin orbit without even touching the lander.

Again, these are not designed for efficiency. The goal was to over-build them so you have more fuel than you need without making the design complex.
