Space Launch System

4,102 SpartanAirplanes  8.9 years ago

In the past, my rockets have been a success. Over the past few days, I built the legandary SLS or Space Launch System. This rocket not only looks cool, but it is fun to fly. It features a catwalk to the rocket that is moved using VTOL before launch, two boosters that separate using Act 2, and a realistic feel. Max Q or maximum aerodynamic pressure occurs between 3,000 and 10,000 feet in altitude. VTOL to move catwalk 1 to detatch from tower and 2 to jettison boosters. Have fun and Happy Holidays!

    Spacex only currently launches their Falcon 9 rocket. This rocket is currently being built at Marshall Spaceflight Center for launch in 2018.@Noahater435

    I'm glad you like it. I uploaded it a while ago and I've noticed some problems with it so I may upload a better version@TheBigEgg

    I'll be making a delta IV heavy next but I'm not sure how soon

    No it can't roll. But I did experiment with the weight of the pad. You can throttle up to about twelve percent with out taking the pad with you@Physics981123

    Cool
    and some suggestions
    Increase the weight of the pad,rockets always start their engines before lifting off and wait until the engines reach the max thrust.And...can this thing roll?
