If only the name can have a third letter  

Maybe this could be an idea for a 3-letter name:

Ministry of Commonwealth Rocketry

Seconded a lot, this is incredibly British-sounding. This or Commonwealth Rocketry Programme.

Unfortunately if you follow UK naming convention then that would actually be MoCR,because the of is not dropped, just lower case. 

I proposed to Beale that it could be called Commonwealth Rocketry Establishment (which harks back to the original Royal Aircraft Establishment).

Black arrow is great. But launch site has some issues caused by... well... I guess global warming is a thing on Kerbin too?

Well well well... Hello old friend.

I appreciate the suggestions a lot, I think @steedcrugeon has it  

 

We have emissives!

I will be creating Black Knight, while @CobaltWolf is creating the Blue Streak (You can see on earlier pages).
So, yes!  

Many thanks on the textures.

If you want any configs for realism for Black Arrow or Prospero, I have (generally speaking) been keeping the British Rockets mod going. If you want to use the parts, configs or textures you are more than welcome to them under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 licence (i.e credit The Wire not me). I still have little skill in Blender or Unity so I cannot help with new models.

That would be super cool. I do not think me or @CobaltWolf have any skill in realism configs (or configs in general).

 

 Who likes missiles?
 Deep red glow emissive. It's too hot to touch.

 There is now a half-size 0.9375m tank, soon to be joined with a quarter-size.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Black Knight the sounding rocket? 
I thought not. It’s not a story the Americans would tell you. It’s a British legend. Black Knight was a little rocket of the UK, so powerful and so small it could use the pumps to influence the hydrogen peroxide to create trhrust…

(Don't worry, there will be a full set of Black Knight parts).

Prospero core is now up on Github! Looks like I'll have to make a special decoupler for it...

 

[T-10a]

Since BDB has the Sparta rocket, would it be possible to add a WRESAT clone to either this or BDB?

This stuff looks amazing, but is there pictures of Beale's old rockets for comparison to these amazing new rockets?

There is this, really happy with how I have improved, but there is more to go.

And a video of the older Blue Streak model:

Some more work - The Black Knight is a small 0.625m rocket, for early-game sounding rocket tests, or as a cheap upper stage.

 

[Beale]

Oh dear.

Some more progress, half and quarter size Black Knight tanks.

The Black Knight stack is a 1 tank, a 0.25 tank and the engine.

[Beale]

Black Knight takes flight on GitHub!

Getting close to completion on this small rocket now.

[Beale]

The fins!

I cannot wait for Real Fuels support so I can use this in my 6.4k install!

Also, the modeling is superb.

If you submit your real-fuel configs to Stockalike RF engine configs that is much appreciated!

[Beale]

New FX!

New multi-body rocket! With new fins!

New destinations!

 

Two of these things are on GitHub, but you can find out which yourself.

[Pappystein]

You mean I have to download this again?

 

AWESOME!

Thanks for the update Beale!
