So with just a steam engine how many module I can carry?

Thats the wrong question. Its not how many modules one engine can carry, but how far will it fly?

Its no good, if you can reach the first target with 5 r-,odules, but not be able to go further. So, the only answer to your question ist: It depends.

First rocket (10000 km) can be easly 5 research module on a steam engine. With one solid buster it can reach 20000 km planets. 2 solid buster should pump out it for 30000 but i'm not sure.

Unfortunately I only have steam. If I understand correctly to do Interstellar research you need to provide "Data Bank" to the Virtual PLanetarium right? And only way to get Data Bank is you need to travel to space with a Research Module

Without solid boosters you can only reach first planet, It will provide enough data banks to research solid boosters and reach next etc.I am suggesting delay research cargo branch of space modules, until you research petrol engine, because they almost useless without it.

With two solid boosters you can reach 30k km but only with 4 Research Modules, I tested it, kinda (bugs, errors and crashes ultimately...)

Yes, that is pretty much how it works. So you get to the near planets first, collect the 5 50x research goals there, do research and then go to those further out first with booster and then better engine. I used one booster for 20'000km and a petroleum engine for 30'000km. 5 research modules on all of them. For 40'000km I only have 4 research modules, as I do not have enough vertical space for a rocket with 5 research modules and 2 fuel tanks without some rearrangements I am too lazy for.

You can carry 9 research modules and go to the first asteroid with a full steam engine (900Kg). For each travel, you will come back with around 5-7 data disk.

So you will only need 10 travels to finish all the research, you don't need to go to the other asteroid for that.

I could only bring back 5 modules worth from each planet.  Return trip did not yield anything

  Not sure why you suggest something different
