My Heavy Lifter to carry big loads to a high orbit or to the upcoming moon.

My Heavy Lifter

Jeb really likes it............nice.........smooth........and stable ride

An impressive sight !!

Ist stage burnout at almost 160,000 meters .

View of the engines used in the first stage.

Second stage ignition.

Nice circular orbit at 340,000 meters.

With only a command module I have to throttle way down towards the end of the first stage burn and I still ended up using a lot of fuel from the second stage to slow down a bit.

But that amount of thrust should let me carry some heavy payloads.

Used about %75 of the third stage fuel adjusting my orbit before I decoupled it.

I have a full tank of fuel on my fourth stage.

I should be able to carry plenty of stuff up to orbit or go the the moon with this setup .

I'm thinking about changing the second stage from the Bigeffin engine, and the third stage engine , to something with a bit less thrust and better fuel economy .

Protip: Burn your main fueltanks at the same time as your fellow secondary rockets.

No need to , the boosters have PLENTY of thrust .!! LOL

I also launched it straight up and the boosters burned out at about 265,000 meters at over 4000 m/sec if I remember correctly. 8)

Also try using Nova's large 2-meter orange fuel tanks. They are carry less fuel than two of Sunday punch's 2 meter tanks combined, but are far lighter.

Moar S.A.S! ;P

Nice work
