QuoteThe OLV is currently under development and would consist of a first stage, second stage, and the payload. A third stage may be added in the future. The vehicle would be up to 350 ft. (106.68 m) tall, with a diameter of approximately 23 ft. (7 m). The thrust of the vehicle would reach approximately, 4.5 million lbf (2 MN). The first and second stages would be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquid oxygen (LOX). The possible third or alternative second stage would be powered by liquid hydrogen (LH2) and LOX.4.5Mlbf is 643klbf per engine... assuming seven, of course -- or 17% higher than advertised for BE-4 going to ULA. (also should be 20MN)

The bridge has a steep arch.
Lots of demolition work at LC-36. It looks like the Atlas Centaur blockhouse is still there, but the old pads are now piles of concrete.

I have a question on pad size. Will the available safe area support a much bigger vehicle like New Armstrong?
