Second Stage
AssemblyThe one part of the stack that is still thrown away: a single vacuum engine and short tank section that take over near 2 km/s and push the payload to orbital velocity. A full specification article for this item is being written. Meanwhile its bill of materials and connections are below.
Second Stage parts and their functions
4 top-level parts · 166,533 parts in total · full bill of materials below
| # | Part | Qty | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vacuum Engine 8 parts | 1× | Vacuum variant of the booster engine: same pintle powerhead exhausting through a large radiatively cooled nozzle extension for ~348 s of specific impulse. |
| 2 | Second-Stage Tank 5 parts | 1× | Short Al-Li tank section, the same 3.7 m diameter and weld construction as the booster so both stages share tooling, a manufacturing decision that shows up in the BOM as shared panels and domes. |
| 3 | Propellant Feed System 6 parts | 1× | Stage 2 feed plumbing |
| 4 | Reaction Control System 3 parts | 1× | Coast and settling control |
