Single Stage to Orbit (SSTO)

Imgur

A Single Stage to Orbit (SSTO) vertical launch vehicle is the simplest launch system and promises to be the most reliable craft ever considered. Staged rockets, even though they provide more payload performance for the same takeoff mass, are less reliable because of the increased number of parts due to flight events requested by staging and ignition of the upper stage engine. Also, staged rockets are more expensive because they are literally made up of more than one rocket. Manufacturing and assembling more rockets into one launcher requires more personnel, time, and money. The SSTO technology, once implemented, will increase the space flight responsiveness and will lower the cost to the value expected by the industry for decades.

    @Gozinya Thanks for enjoying this awesome SSTO rocket.
    Took me a while to get the Linear Aerospike just right. It was fun nevertheless to create.

    @Gozinya I'm glad you liked it!
    I also have plans on recreating more super heavy-lift launch vehicles
