GP2-5 Rocket Prototype

[Comrade Jenkens]

I've started working on a loose replica of the Saturn V rocket and the results are looking promising so far. This thing is huge at 718 tons and gives 12500kN of thrust off the launch pad providing an impressive lift capacity. I'm having trouble with the stability of the first stage however as it wobbles and bends when I try to turn. I haven't started the command module and lander either yet.

First stage gone.

Second stage separation.

Ha, GP2.It looks nice and it looks powerful.

This... is a better Saturn V replica than most of the ACTUAL Saturn V replicas I've seen. In other words, good job.

The launcher looks better than the munbug launcher (sorry sgt-flyer) because of the shroud around the first 2 stages.

Mulbin did Munbug. And also nothing looks better than the Munbug launcher imo.

Hey, I just made one of these! I thought about using wing section but the thought was too late. I like it better than mine, but not by much:P

Sgt flyer had a Saturn V but couldn't build a lander, mulbin had a lander but not a launcher. They shared designs and Munbug has a launcher. I dont like how the fuel tanks bulge out a lot on munbug.Imo

Nice one, Jenkens! My only small comments would be a) You'd better build a heavy lander, and you'd better build a heavy CM. Other than that, does the interstage work, as in separate on its own? And nice job with the wing panels! I foresee much stability in this rocket.

Actually Munbug XI is the last version of a ship that Mulbin has been perfecting since 0.17 or so (at least as long as I've been playing). Sgt Flyer has his own Saturn replicas, as do a lot of other people, and we all steal the good ideas from each other and improve as the game gets updated. I expect that with the new 3.75m parts, Mulbin is already hard at work on Munbug XII!!

Hi Comrade Jenkins,

This project has definite promise, I will keep and eye on this.

A few things I noticed from the pics, I see you used the wing parts to widen the lower stages. This gives the rocket a hexagon type shape.

I think this doesn't look as nice a smooth looking stage. Also the interstage panel fairing needs work to remove those unsightly gaps.

This is clearly early stage in development so keep up the good work and you will have a very pretty rocket.

I haven't got a working interstage yet and I'm not sure how to go about it. I've never been that good with fairings anyway so I'm really looking forward to stock ones. I've always preferred doing loose replicas anyway so I can excuse any inaccuracies.

Since it's been starting trying to create replicas of prototype game so it's fans get easily it's loving things who like playing this game and i am also a big fan of Alex Mercer and i got his replica costume which he dressed up...

Does anyone else know what on earth he's on about?

My latest mini saturn V has a lander of my own (develloped after studying gusturbo's mini chair based LEM - and i asked him first ) (link in my sig )

Also, interesting design comrade jenkens, how well does it fly with all these wing parts ?

Feel free to check out my interstage designs if you wish comrade (on either of my saturn V designs)
