Class D and D-N Boosters

[Carl]

A Pair of Subassemblies for you. My Type D and D-N Boosters. Both are capable of getting a craft to orbit with significant excess Delta V. In fact the lift capacity is so high that in a straight vertical burn you can escape the Sun with something like just a capsule on top. ALso only needs the Big SRB's, Struts, and the Second type of radial connector so a perfect early career option.

Whilst not capable of hefting a return mission to other planets, it's quite capable of reaching Jool or pulling a Mun/Minimuas return mission for you.

Obviously neither of the example payloads is a perfect demonstration of their capabilities, but it does put the lifting power into perspective for you.

Can they launch anything at 100 tons or a little over?

[Carl]

Not sure on the max payload, never really tested their limits so far. I can find out though .

[700NitroXpress]

Yeah, post some max specs so people know what to expect for the payload limitations.

[Odo]

I highly HIGHLY doubt is 100 tons, my estimate is around 10-20 tons. Something with an 100 ton to orbit generally looks like a monster.

[Carl]

Well i doubt it could do a 100 tons either, a quick check before bed shows the heaviest thing i ever put on it was 10 tons, but it's got a lot of excess Dv with that on so a fair increase would be possible, just not sure on how much.

Still a cool lifter design for light to medium weight craft, I never really use the stack splitters much, and stacking SRB's like that is effective for getting out of the thick atmosphere.

Well the main point of sharing this was to provide people early in career mode with a booster capable of hefting a payload for return Orbital/Mun/Munimas/Solar missions and one way missions to virtually anywhere else you care to name too. It's not meant to be a super booster, there's bigger tanka with bigger engines alongside to do that kind of heavy lifting further up the tree.

Ah, for a career mode booster then, this is freaking fantastic! I usually like manned landers that can do multiple landings for science, and early on, the return journey might be difficult.

Yeah you only need a 155 science to unlock the thing, if you want a payload with science bay and panels you'll need another 205 but it still greatly opens your options for you compared to the 1000+ science you need for the big boosters with huge engines.
