Nexus SSTO Mega-Booster (1962) |

| ABOUT THE DESIGN: | ABOUT THE MODEL: | |
|
The Nexus was spaceflight
visionary Krafft Ehricke's concept for a Single Stage to Orbit (SSTO)
booster capable of lifting 900 tonnes into orbit. Standing as tall
as the Washington Monument, the fully recoverable booster system would
have dwarfed anything in either the American or Soviet arsenals, including
the Soviet N-1 and the American Saturn V.
Although CAD-designer Scott Lowther laid out both the Mars Mission and Project Orion payloads (see below), current plans call for this kit to include the Mars Mission payload only. |
