Year 23, Day 226 (Neidon II Rocket Upgrades!)

Engineers are excited to announce upgrades for the new Neidon Rocket Launch System – the Neidon II!

While the core rocket booster remains unchanged, several important changes have been made:

  • Aerodynamic Brakes have been removed
  • New AV-T1 Winglets have been added to deal with minor instability that occurs during transition from supersonic to subsonic.
  • Analysis showed that the shape of the RCS boosters at the top of the rocket was better served being flipped, so RCS thruster assemblies were inverted.
  • Rocket numbering changed from “X” to “N” – in blueprint shown as “N-2” for Neidon Booster 2.
  • Rockets have been given a fresh coat of paint, with flag and KSEA logos moved.

Besides structural changes, the Neidon Rocket will now have the bottom S3-7200 Fuel Tank prioritized as the “landing tank”. This will move the center of mass for the booster further to the bottom, assisting in re-entry!

  1. hello,

    i don’t understand why my KR-2200c aerospike oxidizer and liquid fuel instead of liquid hydrogen. And the engine is unable to lift itself without any payload.
