Vulco 1 w/ Prospector River (Version 1.1)

[Same as the original Vulco 1 except I made the third stage more fuel efficient with 18 engines instead of 37. It still carries Prospector to Vulco and can make the transfer with a single burn of its 3rd stage.]

Vulco I is a rocket that carries 1 rover named Prospector to Vulco. The rover is equipped with heat shielding to weather Vulco's hellish climate, but please don't attempt to drive it into lava.

Transferring to Vulco is best done when it's at least 95-100° past its closest approach to Droo and you have 46% or better fuel reserve in your third stage after attaining orbit, and when your craft is angled about 15 degrees inboard of the target vector. If you run out of fuel in the third stage while doing the burn to get to Vulco, the fourth stage has plenty of fuel to finish the job and land you safely on the surface. Note that the plasma engines in the fourth stage are EXTREMELY powerful, so keep them throttled between 1-2% while descending by using the analog throttle control stick. Once you have landed, open the cargo bay, switch to the rover, use Slider 1 to activate the wheels, adjust replicate commands settings, and roll off the rocket slowly.
