Scout X-1 was an American expendable launch system and sounding rocket which was flown seven times between August 1960 and October 1961. Four orbital and three suborbital launches were made, with four of the launches resulting in failures.


To Fly:

First launch the Scout and let the rocket do its thing. It has its own gravity turn.

After stage seperation, wait 2-3 seconds while positioning the craft to 0*. Ignite Castor from staging.

The rest is up to you, depending on target and payload. Though for Explorer 9, you must get an orbit similar to the last image with the perigee near the atmosphere or under 250 km.


Explorer 9, known as S-56A before launch, was a NASA satellite which was launched in February 1961 to study the density and composition of the upper thermosphere and lower exosphere. It was a reflight of the failed Explorer S-56 mission, and consisted of a 7 kg (15 lb), 3.66 m (12.0 ft) balloon which was deployed into a medium Earth orbit. The mission was conducted by NASA's Langley Research Center.

The satellite cylinder is modeled but IDK how to do a balloon.
