KTV-rocket family by Jester [YT]

[Jesterhead]

Greetings!

I would like to share my creations with you.

My goal is to develop a multifunctional and cool rocket-system for 3 Kerbals. Therefore every model is based around the  Mk1-2 Command Pod .  The Ariane-5 is my favorite real-world vehicle and serves as template.

The 2nd stage is powerful enough to transport my 3 Kerbals into a Minimus-Orbit and back......safely

Till now i only changed the length of my 1st and 2nd stage fuel-tanks according to the extra payload. The whole production line of rockets has a main fuel-tank and fairing-diameter of 2,8 m.  It may not be the most efficient design but i try to improve it with every new version.
