Sea Dragon (manual for simplerockets 2)

Rocket qualities

Launch from land or sea! Massive 300 metric ton payload lift to LEO. Plenty of cargo space - you won’t believe it until you see it. Hand crafted to match reference specifications from NASA.

Quick payload

There is plenty of room at the bow and a docking port. Usually, a dummy payload is attached to the docking port. You may remove this and put your payload instead.

Quick flight

1. At 100m/s, yaw (100% if land; -100% if sea) and pitch (0% if land; 48% if sea)
2. 700m/s, yaw and pitch to 0% and opt rcs off
3. full throttle and when ready, stage 2 main engine (ie the next stage after separation)
4. set course to horizon (0 degrees inclination) and wait 240s or 2500m/s

Restoration comments

• after the above sequence I had 8% fuel left
• it’s fairly balanced and challenging at this point
• the payload is heavier than reference documents at 500 vs 300 metric tons
• we haven’t added a nozzle flair package for the first stage sea recovery - our engineering team doesn’t understand plastics (material sciences)

Warranty

Zilch.
