The S1 SRB-KD25k is a solid rocket booster even larger than the Rockomax BACC Solid Fuel Booster. While the specific impulse is identical the amount of thrust is slightly more than twice of the BACC SRB. The amount of fuel is almost tripled.

The SRB-KD25k might be a reference to the Five-Segment Boosters, a component of Space Launch System.

Thrust can be regulated with tweakables, minimum required for booster to lift its own weight off Kerbin surface is 32.5%.

S1 SRB-KD25k is the only solid rocket booster with flag painted on it.
