Originally from the KSPX parts mod, the Rockomax 48-7S is the non radial version of the Rockomax 24-77.
Usage
Like the 24-77, LV-1, and LV-1R, the 48-7S is intended to propel probes and small crewed craft, using light weight command pods and small fuel tanks large amounts of delta v can be achieved with little mass. Due to its relatively high Isp and thrust to weight ratio, the 48-7S is remarkably capable in ascent, transfer, and lander roles. It also has thrust vectoring, unlike its radially attached counterpart,the Rockomax 24-77, allowing for greater control.
Description
| “ | A cousin of the 24-77, the 48-7S is a stack mounted probe engine that packs quite a punch. — Rockomax Conglomerate |
” |
Changes
- Thrust increased from 20 to 30 kN.
- Initial release
