EDIT: The banana peel needs to be staged after clearing the tower, and if a peel gets stuck on the rocket....
EXPLODE IT!!
Minotaur 1 was a four stage vehicle, developed by Orbital ATK, and now it belongs to Northrop Grumman.
This vehicle was designed for the small satt endevour and also the cheap satts companies, it can lift 400 KGs, and due to extreme weight savings, it got a "Banana Peel", so the humidities that got frozen around the rocket, would be thrown away, saving almost 500 kilos during launch.
This rocket flew from 2000 to 2012, and all those flights were succeful.
Even if it didn't got launches on this year, it's still active.
The predeccesor to this rocket was the MinuteMan LGM-30 ICBM.
