Proton-K

Note to the editor: the Proton-K booster as designed will handle payloads of up to 18.24 tonnes, assuming 4,500 m/s of delta-V to reach a 100 kilometer Low Kerbin Orbit. The design TWR for the first two stages is above three (3.01 even at the maximum payload for the first stage), which is excessive. The SAS on the first stage is meant to toggle on and off for purposes of correcting spin only; it will cause a dangerous oscillation if SAS is left on. Might want to mention this to folks who plan on using that booster. Capi3101a (talk) 11:50, 17 June 2013 (CDT)
