Flight Instructions:
Launch from any runway.
Fly to an alttitude of atleast 10km above sealevel.
Deattach SimpleStratolaunch from the Simple Airways 747.
Activate the the first stage engines and throttle to 100% when you are about 10m lower than the 747.
Lock heading about 10° upwards.
Slowly increase your heading to 80° upwards.
Once your apoapsis is above 60km slowly decrease your heading back to 0°.
Once your first stage runs out fuel wait to be outside of the attmosphere before you deattach your firststage.
Use your second stage to circuralize.
Its very easy to lose control when pitching upwards or downwards so be careful.
SimpleStratolaunch is a cheap and reliable smallsat launcher. Designed and produced by Simple Aerospace, SimpleStratolaunch doesn’t have to deal with the hassels of normal, ground-launched rockets. The SimpleAirways 747 carrying SimpleStratolaunch can fly to a place thats most ideal for your launch or even around storm that would have otherwise delayed the launch. Because of this, its also much easier to reach orbit as it is essentially launching from 10 kilometers above the surface. These things combined make SimpleStratolaunch on of the world’s cheapest, most reliable and easiest to fly rockets.

I already knew it lost control easily, but I just can’t get in in control well.
