Auto Credit Based on Spheniscine's Brigo Rover Launcher

This is an example launcher and lander for the career mission "Brigo Rover" from Prof. von Pricklespac.

It might be also able to go to Luna and/or T.T., but I haven't tested it for those yet

The interstage is attached to the lander using an offset, and then the fairing base around it. There is a video tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymUUpqrMVcQ

The lander is best used like a "sky-crane"; after touching down, detach the rover and immediately start engines to boost away, to get out of the way of the deploying solar panels.

It comes with a Vizzy program that automatically launches it to a parking orbit around Droo. Credit to Goz for the program; I made some light adjustments to it for this craft

Tech prerequisites:
Soft Landing
Packing It Tight
Overcomplicating Things
Old School

Launch from Ali Pad or better

Version notes: Mk1.1 - adjusted rover attachment slightly to better balance CoM. The craft should be much less likely to spin out when doing maneuvers now, and landing should be easier
