Description

This rocket is an entirely fictional design created by me, based on a drawing I found in my attic from when I was in Grade 4. I’ve reimagined it as a Canadian launch vehicle (because I'm from Canada), operating from an imaginary spaceport in British Columbia.

(Fictional) Rocket Specifications:

• Derived from an ICBM “V-21”

• Uses hypergolic propellants (N₂O₄ / UDMH)

• 2-stage configuration

• Payload capacity: ~13,000 lbs. to Low Earth Orbit (LEO)

• Potentially crew-rated

I’m also working on other versions of rockets from my childhood (including the original ICBM concept), so keep an eye out for future models.

Assembly Notes:

• Some assembly required.

• The upper stage and fairings include holes designed for magnets, but printed pegs can also be used as an alternative.

• If the small alignment pins on the second stage break during printing, you can drill into their original locations and insert a small rod with glue for reinforcement.

• In most cases, glue is not required for assembly.

Known Print Issues:

• Upper stage engines may occasionally detach during printing. If this happens, you can either glue them back in place or leave them as shortened stubs.

Stage Diagram Labels:

• Stage 1: Main booster core with a single dual-chamber engine

• Flank Skirt: Stabilizing mass system; separates in the upper atmosphere. this is the set of cone shapes around the 1st stage.

• Stage 2: Upper stage with 4 engines and a Payload Attach System (PAS) for small satellites

• Fairing: Protective nose cone for payload

Enjoy!
