Size configurations

The Four bay service core (1.25m) is available in four height configurations, providing the equivalent of multiple parts stacked on top of each other, helping to reduce part count.  Mass, cost and capacity scale proportionally.

Four bay service core (1.25m) is avalable in double, tripple and quad height variants.

Five bay service core (1.5m)

A central core suitable for five bays of wedges. Expandable to four times its original height. Ideally paired with a 1.5m -> 1.875m shroud for an aerodynamic BDB-scaled service module. Configurable in fuel tank or crew transfer corridor variants..
