Required Mods: Zilch, 0, Nada (Mobile Fans Rejoice!)
Basic rocket* to achieve a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) in Real Solar System with a little delta V to spare for some maneuvers and getting back down.
This is the twin to my first GTO - Get To Orbit I made for the Real solar system which required the REO Mod, so unfortunately mobile could not use it 😞 All efforts have been made to reproduce the same rocket with only minor changes to it's overall aperance (it's 6 m taller). The engines have been completely reworked to achieve near identical TWR power, very close to similar burn time, and all at a small cost of 500 m/s less delta V (which was mostly lost in the second stage @ about 260 m/s, first stage lost about 100 m/s, third lost about 90 m/s, and we lose about 45 seconds of total craft burn time).
Just like it's REO counterpart, it has 3 power stages, and the TWR is still a little much so you can have a not so perfect launch and manage to circularize. First launch was better than my fiirst version, still a little too fast to apoapsis, but left 2.4k m/s delta V and escaped the atmosphere within about 3 minutes at full throttle the whole way.

@ColdAerospace Hey, I made another improvement if you'd like to give it a go, & yes it's mobile friendly :)...
I used Vizzy to insert myself as a "Virtual Instructor" and guide you to orbit with a manual launch.

Like the GTO original, best launched from the runway. Launchpad does work but if it's not stable the runway is the way to go, Launchpad set up coming soon 👍
