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
