  1. Pre-Launch Design Release ****NOTICE: We ditched our old goal of making an unmanned orbit because a spacestation in orbit is cooler****** Team Name: Kailzah Available Funds: 37426 Vehicle Name: October Sky II Vehicle Parts List and Cost: Aerodynamic Nose (680x1), Ox. 4 Photo P. (300x2), Probodoyne OKTO2 (230x1), adv. SAS mod. (1,100x1), RCS Thruster (450x3), RCS Fuel Tank FL-R25 (800x1), Inline Clamp O Tron (700x1), TR-18A Stack Decoupler (600x3), FL-T400 Fuel Tank (850x1), FL-T800 Fuel Tank (1,600x1), liquid fuel engine (475x1), Rockomax Adapter (50x1), Rockomax Jumbo 64 Fuel Tank (12500x1), Mainsaid Liquid Engine (850x1) Design Goals: We used a rather large engine in combination with two connected smaller fuel tanks and three decouplers to ensure that October Sky II makes it into orbit. Launch Goal: With this launch, we hope to put a space station into orbit around Kirbin. We hope to learn how to make a proper orbit around Kerbin (this being our first official launch). Also, we hope to use this space station in the future with our further launches. Pilot Plan: 1. Turn on SAS and go full throttle 2.) During overheat, turn down throttle to 75% 3.) Decouple and loose the first fuel tank when fuel is low/out 4.) Go full throttle and enguage RCS 5.) Turn on propgade 6.) After exiting the atmosphere, cut engine 7.) Examine orbital position & approach apopolis 8.) full throttle & widen untill path is suitable for orbit Illustrations: Safety Rep:

  2. NO GO!!!!! Your fuel use is ridiculously high and inefficient. You will waste a ton of money on parts that will just crash back down on Kerbin because you don't have parachutes on them. And you will kill your Kerbal because there is no parachute on his cockpit. Rethink this one before launching.
