Description
A stock rocket called CheapOrbiter1. Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.11.2, with 8 of the finest parts, its root part is strutCube.
.
About a month ago, Whoop_whoop_pull_up quickly iterated through an ever-cheaper series of rockets to put a kerbal into LKO, culminating in the amazing ChairSat S2b. Key elements of the series are the use of a cheap SRB lifter stage, and a very minimalistic upper stage.
.
There isn’t much one can improve on the upper stage, but I decided to try create a liquid fuel lifter that could compete in cost, and if possible, in part count and/or launch weight as well. The result:
.
- 1.1t total launch mass
- 8 parts
- 1243 funds
- makes LKO with >200 m/s dV left
Details

Don’t take anything too seriously, I’m mostly just having crazy fun testing the (im)possibilities of flight, physics and design in the amazing sandbox that is Kerbal Space Program. Feedback is welcome!
