![]() ![]() If the second stage runs out of fuel while descending, separate it, and use the third stage and the rest of the journey. It is recommended to install RCS Thrusters on the rocket for use in maneuvers which require slow movement, retrorockets for stabilizing or changing speed, or turning. It should be propelled by a low-thrust engine ( Valiant Engine, Frontier Engine). ![]() The second stage will bring the rocket to the Moon. The boosters can be ignited before the first stage fires its engine(s) to get to orbit. It is also viable to add a pair of boosters which run out of fuel first, to be decoupled with side separators (see figure 2). Have some fuel tanks, but not too much (6 wide or more is recommended). It should contain at least 1 high-thrust engine ( Hawk Engine or Titan Engine). This stage will lift the rocket to Low Earth Orbit. ![]() A Moon rocket should consist of at least 3 stages: Building a Moon rocket is quite simple compared to building longer-range rockets. ![]()
