The Arcturus I 2.0 is a two-stage medium-lift launch vehicle capable of deploying up to 35 tons of payload to low Droo orbit. The first stage is powered by four Mage engines, providing 2.10km/a of Delta V at sea level. The second stage, powered by five Pixie engines, has a total of 3.99km/s of Delta V in vacuum.

This rocket has my most advanced Vizzy script yet, providing a wide range of functions without reducing performance. It can be used in career mode, as nothing on the rocket is tinkered. This rocket also comes with a 35 ton dummy payload.

AG1 - Launch
Initiates the auto-launch function, and enables the other action groups. When prompted to enter desired apoapsis and periapsis, 100,000 meters is the minimum. Leaving this space blank sets the target to 100km. If periapsis is set higher than apoapsis, the program will correct it by setting the target periapsis to the same value as the target apoapsis. Typing Yes when asked if you wish to log data will activate action group 9. If you type No or leave it blank, the craft will not log major events.
AG2 - Change Apoapsis
Changes the craft's apoapsis. If set lower than periapsis, the craft will turn this off without doing anything. Accurate to within 50 meters
AG3 - Change Periapsis
Changes the craft's periapsis. If set higher than apoapsis, the craft will turn this off without doing anything. Accurate to within 100 meters.
AG4 - Show Telemetry Data
Shows various details of the craft's trajectory information and performance. Can be turned off during flight.
AG5 - Flight Termination
Causes the rocket to explode during flight.
AG6 - De-Orbit - De-orbits the rocket without deploying the payload or landing safely. Use if fuel is below 20%. There is a delay, used to take into account the slow heading change of a 35 ton payload.
AG7 - Deploy Payload
Deploy the payload. There is a delay, used to take into account the slow heading change of a 35 ton payload.
AG8 - Recovery
Causes the rocket to de-orbit and land safely. Note that it will not try to land at a landing pad, it will just drop itself out of the sky. If you did not deploy the payload or de-orbit the rocket, those commands will be done in this sequence. Useful for quickly deploying the payload and then recovering the rocket. Please be aware that sending a payload of 35 tons above around 150km will cause the rocket to be non-recoverable.
AG9 - Event Log
Automatically turned on if you entered Yes during launch. Cannot be used if you typed No or left the associated field blank.
AG10 - RCS
Used when deploying the payload to push the rocket back from the payload.
