The Iota 1 is a heavy lift launch vehicle capable of putting 200 tons into Low Droo Orbit (100km x 100km @0 degrees).

You could put lighter payloads into higher orbits.

I made this revamp because I'm going to make Iota into a series of launchers. Which means that I have to standardize a few parameters.


Flight:
1. Lift off by max throttle then stage
2. Start gravity turn when you reach 1.5km
3. Gradually turn east, reaching 45 degrees @15km
4. Follow prograde @25km
5. Stage when the first stage depletes
8. Decouple fairings when >60km
9. Lock pitch to 20 degrees when prograde drops below 20 degrees (lower if you have lighter payloads)
10. Pass apoapsis, maintain 20 degrees heading (you will fall for about 5km)
11. Wait for vertical speed to increase
12. Lock prograde when vertical speed becomes positive
13. Circularize


Features: Decor, Vacuum nozzles, Custom RCS blocks, Fuel lines, etc.
