Atalanta Medium-Lift Vehicle - an automated, partially re-usable rocket for fulfilling GNSS Sat missions.

Features:
- $22m launch cost to place up to 20t in prograde low parking orbit, after recovering the first stage (decreased recovery savings for highly inclined/retrograde orbits)
- Designed to fit in the size constraints and be used from Ali Pad
- 2-stage Hydrolox design for reduced weight and cost
- Low part count and simplified design
- 221t gross mass without payload
- Reusable 1st stage
- 3000 m/s delta-V remaining after placing a 16t payload (GNSS Sat) in low parking orbit (90 x 140)

The Vizzy program will launch at an inclination set by you and place the payload in a 90km x 140km parking orbit. After 1st stage separation, the first stage will perform a short backburn to deorbit.

No need to push any buttons - the program will automatically switch back to the first stage after placing the payload in a stable orbit. It's not my finest piece of Vizzy coding, but it works. The first stage doesn't do anything fancy like fly back to the pad - it just falls in the drink for recovery.
