Description
A stock, no-DLC heavy-lift rocket inspired in large part by the Proton and Saturn 1-B, making heavy use of the new fairing textures.
The Juneau is a flexible heavy-lift platform that is reasonable on part count, while still looking sleek and realistic (ish). I use it on my career save for lofting interplanetary cruisers and space station subassemblies into orbit. It’s certainly not the most cost-effective lifter of this much weight, but I think it might be one of the more aesthetic ones.
Features a first stage powered by 7 Skipper
engines, a second stage powered by 5 Poodle
engines. Can lift a payload of 40.5 tons to an 85km x 85 km orbit, with plenty of fuel left for deorbiting.
This craft uses THESE custom flags.
These are my standard custom flags, and if you have already downloaded a flag pack from me you will not need to redownload.
