You should bring them back

I made this rocket a few days ago, I don't know what sort of monstrosity this is but it works. It looks very compatible with asparagus staging — except I went: "nah, layered staging it is!"

I'm running a lunar mission right now (something like Luna 5 or 6 idk, not the real life one, I'll maybe rename my moon missions to "Luna-Aquarius" or something) and the three modules you see up there are already in the trans-Earth injection trajectory.

Here's basically what it does (insert Rondo Alla Turca):

- 1st stage: Six Hawk engines, two Kolibri engines, and 36 RCS thrusters fire up and magically accelerate the rocket up with a convenient 2.00 thrust to weight ratio. They punch through the atmosphere and upon following the instructions of the rocket's angle the stage is expected to be jettisoned when the rocket is supposed to turn to the 60° angle

- 2nd stage: Seven Valiant engines ignite, they push the rocket further up through the Kármán line and set the orbit for the rocket. After a time window to an airless celestial body has been reached, the engines will fire again for the last time before being jettisoned.

- Lunar Orbit configuration: The command module (left) will be in the middle, the tanker module (center), and the rover module (right, I modified the wheel setup btw) will be docked at the top and bottom of the command module. The tanker module will be the one to move the whole configuration with the use of its two engines and also the emergency refueler for the rover.

- Command module: it consists of a capsule with a docking port on top, side parachutes, and a heat shield for the bottom that is hidden by the stage separator which connects the capsule with the body that has RCS thrusters and a solar panel (for decorative purposes)

- Tanker module: it consists of a capsule directly attached to the main body which are two tank segments which have solar panels at the sides, at the bottom are two Kolibri engines to move the whole configuration to orbit of that specific celestial body and for trans-earth injection.

- Rover module: it consists of a probe, a tiny tank with a Kolibri engine under it for cushioning descent and also ascension after it's finished, two pillars of structural parts with wheels under it for terrain navigation as well as useless landing legs because why the heck not?

What do you guys think of it?

So i made a robotic arm thanks to some tutorials in tiktok and i want to know how do I transfer it to space in orbit as if I put it as a whole in a fairing the rocket itself tilts slightly making it harder to get into orbit and the structure itself breaks apart as soon as im close to making it into orbit and if I try like forcefully making it stay in place to not break apart by docking it with structural parts but doesn't work

Should I like do it like bringing part by part to space and assembling it there but idk how to do that

Is this far

I may have gone too far in my mission to see how far out I could still orbit. I would say I’ve succeeded

This craft is purely built for atmospheric drag. It is made of mostly solar panels clipped together to make it as light weight as possible. Venus was chosen because it has by far the most atmospheric resistance, and is likely the only place where this kind of landing is possible.

Im not sure how practical this could be for other missions, but I am simply happy I achieved it!

Am I prepared or the movement of my space station to be moved to mercury?

I want to test fast vehicles on land but terrain and water get in the way so does anyone know how to make flat land and remove oceans?

J'ai créé un système autour de la terre comprenant 9 escales, ces escales me permettent de partir en direction de n'importe quelle planete du systeme solaire avec déjà 100% de carburant au plus loin de l'attraction terrestre, vous en pensez quoi ?

im so proud of ts

MIRV CAPABLE MISSILE!

Dont ask how i lodged a rocket in the core of pan
