This, as told by the title is a recreation of the Peacekeeper Missile, a suborbital missile that carried multiple nuclear warheads until it was retired and retrofitted to become the Minotaur series of rockets (Rockets III+) and is three stages, each solid fueled.
—Things I got right
The outward appearance looks bland, but it is actually how the missile appears in most images.
Thrust, with a margin of three Kilonewtons or less, is accurate for each stage.
Height of the stages and their diameter is correct.
Burn time for each of the stages is correct.
—Features
Nineteen Warheads are carried inside the fairing
Detailed interior with individual custom-made fuel tanks
The craft can actually complete a suborbital trajectory and then release its warheads, so it is functional
—Things I got wrong
The overall height of the craft is taller than real life, most likely due to lack of information about height of the fairing and interstages
The mass is far heaver than real life, for a reason I cannot pinpoint but is likely due to SR2’s innacurate volume of fuel tanks
There was no information as to how the craft was controlled, so I just slapped a gyroscope in the fairing and set its mass to zero because the craft was already overweight. It’s the only instance of mass editing in the entire craft.

I tested downloading it, and it appears upon downloading the first stage will also release the warheads. Sorry about that, if there’s anyway I can fix it in post-uploading let me know. It can easily be fixed by adding a stage and dragging the 19 warhead interstages to the newly added stage. Sorry about the trouble.
