The Sea Dragon was a design which was studied in 1962 lead by Robert Truax. The concept for the Sea Dragon was a two-stage sea-launched orbital super heavy-lift launch vehicle which would of shattered the scale of rockets and would of altered the course of rocket technology.
The Sea Dragon would have been 150 maters tall and 23 meters in diameter and could place up to 550 tones (1,210,000 lb) into a Low Earth Orbit and would been fully reusable be recovering both stages of the rocket using inflatable flares and splashing down in the ocean. Sea Dragon would of generated more than 79 million pounds of thrust which is 10 times more than the Saturn V Moon Rocket.
Sea Dragon would have been too large to be built and launched on land so both stages would have been build in dry docks and assembled in a special lagoon at Cape Canaveral. It would be towed out to the launch point about 60 Kilometres off the coast of Florida by tugboats. Once Sea Dragon reaches the launch point buoyancy tanks would have been filled with water and sink 2/3 of the rocket into the ocean so the water can damp on the shock waves when the rocket launches.

It's fun to romanticize the Sea Dragon but it wasn't really feasible. If the program had continued we would have had the Nova series of vehicles instead since they were much more realistic to produce and fly
@ASHDMDSGN 4 жыл бұрын
@@mattsoup4121 Sea Dragon seems more feasible to me than the Space Shuttle and SLS/NLS/Ares. At least it tried to upscale and re-use existing technologies unlike the Shuttle which needed a closed cycle engine, thermal protection and was a death machine if anything went wrong during the launch. While SLS uses existing parts and is safer than the shuttle it is still extremely wasteful to use RS-25s in an expendable configuration. IMO the biggest flaw of the Sea Dragon was not in its design but in the lack of possible payloads that would justify building multi-kiloton launch vehicle. But yeah, it could launch ISS in one go and do it cheaper than using Shuttles, Protons and Soyuzes.
@mattsoup4121 4 жыл бұрын
@@ASHDMDSGN Sea dragon wasn't a simple vehicle. The were going to reuse the first stage (which was exceedingly massive). That would've required the biggest parachutes ever made and parachutes get exponentially more difficult to make as they scale up. The biggest difficulty imo would be the first stage engine. The F1 was barely able to achieve stable combustion because the chamber was so massive and now you want this massive engine with a massively larger combustion chamber?
@ASHDMDSGN 4 жыл бұрын
@@mattsoup4121 Well, I don't know why anyone on Earth would want to land it under parachutes.I haven't seen plans for parachutes but I've read about plans to just let it splash down, not use parachutes, simply because tank walls would be made out of 8mm thick steel. I don't think that kind of strength needs any parachutes to survive a splash down, especially knowing that it's drag to weight ratio would be really low due to big empty tanks. Combustion instability isn't that big of an issue as you try to portray it. Theoretical chamber pressure for that nozzle would be 20 atm which is more than 3 times less than 70 atm found in F-1. So yeah, the most absurd thing about this vehicle would be its size which would be manageable by using shipyards rather than traditional rocket manufacturing facilities.
@mattsoup4121 4 жыл бұрын
@@ASHDMDSGN I don't have time to argue about this all day, but you're simplifying things that are exceedingly difficult. Also the chutes thing I read somewhere at some point. There's a chance that's wrong, however 8mm thick steel won't be able to handle hitting the ocean at say 50m/s. As you said it's a huge vehicle and hitting the ocean that quickly even with 8mm thick walls will collapse the whole thing. That's just simple material properties and statics.
