The Vanguard rocket was intended to be the first launch vehicle the United States would use to place a satellite in orbit.
Though successful only 3 times out of 11, the rocket was somewhat useful.
It launched the Vanguard 1 satellite which orbits till today.
Now, my recommendations to those who would download this are -
? Use a payload which has a self propulsion system, as 3rd stage is non monoverable and usually would form an elliptical orbit.
? Do not burn the second stage for a long time.
? Wait till your apoapsis is around 350 km and then stop the 2nd stage engine. Wait till the vehicle approaches apogee and then point in prograde and burn the 3rd stage, which would last only for about 3 seconds.
This was created all on my own. Thanks for downloading!
