I had planed to make the LEO elements first, But in order to make the launch site, I needed to have a rough idea of how tall the lunar Kondor version would be. LockMart's proposals for a wide body centaur will serve as the upper stage for the Kondor. It should work out real nice, Since I can just stretch and shrink the centaur to the size needed for the mission.
CECE engine(s) will be used instead of
RL-10's, for commonality with the landers.

Kondor-3 and Kondor-7 have the boosters angled correctly now

The Lunar kondor-7
Configs are done for the LEO versions of the Kondor
~payload
Kondor-1=33,000kg
kondor-3=104,0000kg
kondor-7=220,000kg
-180x180km orbit, ISS inclination,
-5000kg, 18.5x7m fairing(atlas 5 fairing 23x5.4m =4019kg)
Kondor-7 isn't doing as well as I had hoped, But it still delivers better performance than I need(60-75t TLI mass)

WOW!
That is ALOT of mass to send to the moon with!
For the Kondor-1 and 3 I do hope you have massive unmanned lunar and mars missions planed. Or station modules! :P
