*Note: Check the [url=https://www.simplerockets.com/Forums/View/496/SimpleRockets-2-FAQ]FAQ here[/url] before asking questions.* We've just completed development of the second engine in SR2. The Pixie engine is a much smaller alternative to the [url=https://www.simplerockets.com/Blog/View/437/Introducing-the-Mage-I-Engine]Mage engine[/url] with far better gas mileage. This makes it suitable for those second stages destined for Smoon. With an accordingly lower thrust, it is also a lot easier to land on a low-G planetary body without getting into an endless cycle of up-and-down that I often find myself in when trying to land with a Mage engine. Here are the details:

• Thrust: [b]50 kN[/b]
• Mass: [b]75 kg[/b] (165 lbs)
• Price: [b]$150k[/b]
• Height: [b]1.0 m[/b] (3.2 ft)
• Diameter: [b]0.7 m[/b] (2.3 ft)
• Max Gimbal Angle: [b]10 degrees[/b]
• Fuel Consumption: [b]15 L/s[/b]
• [wiki=en]Specific impulse[/wiki]: [b]339 s[/b]
• Max Torque: [b]5 Nm[/b]

Here's a [url=https://imgur.com/58V5XjR]bonus shot of it in action[/url]. Also, I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to start posting blog updates every other week instead of every week. It's been fun, but these posts take a lot of time to put together and as we continue to slip further and further behind schedule, I need to use any extra time I can find to focus on development. I hope you understand!
