Crazybird R189 (Crazybird Productions livery)

Introduction

The first successful ten stage rocket built by Crazybird Productions. Like any other rocket, its purpose is to go to another planet to collect data from it while the astronaut places their flag.

Fun Facts

• Fun Fact 1: The number, “R189” came from its height, which it is about 189 meters tall.

• Fun Fact 2: The R189 can go as fast as 12,000 meters per second with the right timing. That’s about Mach 35, and the current fastest manned rocket powered aircraft is the North American X-15, which travels about 2,020 meters per second, or about mach 5.89.

  How to control

• Stage 1: Activate main engines

• Stage 2-8: Detach previous engines and activate the next engine(s)

• Stage 9: Detach last engine and fairing when distance from destination is below 5,000 meters

• AG 10 (Stage 10): Deploy landing legs and parachute when below 1,000 meters and capsule is facing upwards (parachute box on the top of the capsule should be facing upwards)
