Since i am already working on getting parts inspired by them into the game i want to begin work on a detailed full replica of Stoke's roket as soon as my current mod is released.
"It is a two-stage vertical takeoff and vertical landing (VTOVL) vehicle, similar in principle to the Falcon 9’s first stage. Built from stainless steel, when fully stacked the vehicle will stand 30 meters tall and have a diameter of 4 meters.
Stage 1
The first stage of Stoke’s rocket will run on liquid methane (CH4) instead of LH2 due to it being more cost-effective. To further help this goal, the first stage’s engines will use the full flow staged combustion cycle, which allows for high chamber pressure and lower temperatures. This is ideal for reuse.
The first stage features a taper in its upper quarter, increasing its diameter up to the interface with the second stage. This helps during descent and landing as it moves the center of pressure downstream — that is, closer to the top of the stage — and increases the drag coefficient.
Second Stage
Stoke’s rocket’s second stage is designed with versatility in mind: it has the uncommon ability to acquire assets on orbit and bring them back to Earth, making it possible to deploy and move spacecraft around on orbit. Using a ballistic trajectory, the second stage is designed with a capsule-style reentry — the shape of the second stage is similar to a traditional capsule, with a tapered design from the base to the top — allowing for a precise landing. The engine on the second stage is capable of deep throttling, giving it the ability to perform a reentry burn and a terminal descent with a propulsive landing. Below its heat shield, the second stage is equipped with various systems such as turbo machinery, valves, pressuring bottles, avionics, and controls."
