Developed as a simplified and more economical alternative to a previous $35M light payload delivery and moon landing spacecraft I made a long time ago. I used this rocket to deliver lunar landers and perform moon landing contracts. This was also my first foray into flight programming. I made a program to steer the rocket after launch to achieve an optimal trajectory by using the atmosphere density graph of Droo to figure out the optimal angle of the rocket at various set altitudes. Feel free to steal the angles and parameters for your own programs. The flight program will also automatically perform orbit and circularization burns. All you need to do when you load in is press the spacebar, and the program will take the rocket to orbit.
Ag1: Landing Gear and Lights
Ag2: Payload Fairing (I forgot I didn't need it after exiting the atmosphere, whoops)
