introducing Solid Space Launcher by Impulse Space!

Impulse Space is an agency whos sole purpose is to prove that solid motors could possibly be our future. The SSL is a 2 stage small-lift launcher that only costs about 3.1M dollars. It has a max payload capacity of 860kg.

VERY IMPORTANT:
THIS ROCKET USES SOLID FUEL! solid boosters cannot be throttled, and so, you will have to make some very major changes. PLEASE READ THIS, THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!

When you are adding a payload of a specific weight, you must realize that if the payload is very light, you will end up having too much Delta V for a droo orbit. So, you need to change the Delta V to something that will be good for droo orbit. You can do this by changing the fuel in each stage.
1. attach the desired payload. remember, it cannot be heavier than 860kg.
2. adjust the amount of fuel in the SECOND STAGE, not the first stage. adjust the fuel so that the SECOND STAGE Delta V is around 2.88km/s. the absolute MINIMUM for the second stage is 2.77 km/s.
3. AFTER you change the SECOND STAGE Delta V, go the the first stage fuel tank. adjust the amount of fuel so that the FIRST STAGE Delta V is at MINIMUM 2.22 km/s.
If you do not follow the steps above, you risk either: not having enough Delta V for orbit and crashing, or having too much and achieving droo escape velocity or even Juno escape velocity.

Complete with a vizzy! Do not touch anything when the vizzy is running.
Side note: the specific orbit part of the vizzy is not very accurate due to the fact that it is done by weak RCS.

Thank You!
