Orbiter-I is a two stage rocket capable of delivering a payload to Droo orbit.
It's flight path is a unusual way to get the payload into orbit but, all necessary manouvers while inside the atmosphere is automated (VIZZY) and it's up to you once you leave it. It currently is containing a sat payload with a variety of functions and controls. This payload is quite simple to get into orbit if you know how to do so. Instructions are as follows:
Press AG-Launch and witness Orbiter-I fly out of Droo's atmosphere. 1st stage fuel runs out before we leave the atmosphere but our velocity is sufficient enough to get us out.
Wait until the fairings disengage and time warp only up to 25x. Once near the apoapsis, the VIZZY program automatically sets your time warp back to normal/1x and automatically initiates a burn to gain orbit. At this part of the process, you are now fully in control and manouver the stage until you acquire desired orbit.
Once desired orbit is achieved, activate AG-Docking Port to undock/separate from the 2nd stage and use the RCS with the analog sticks and translation mode enabled to distance the satellite from the 2nd stage. You have now successfully delivered the payload into orbit and enjoy the view and of course the sat and speaking of sat, here are the AG functions and other things about the payload.
AG List:
AG-Activate AG 4-9: Activates AG listed below at once
AG-Activate Antenna: Activates antennas (Use Slider 1 to extend antennas)
AG-Antenna Alignment 1: Adjusts where the dish is pointing (Use Slider 2 to adjust)
AG-Antenna Alignment 2: Rotates the dish (Use Slider 3 to adjust)
AG-Beacon Lights: Activates beacon lights
AG-Docking Lights: Activates docking lights
AG-Solar Panels: Well, Solar panels
This sat has a lot of monopropellant, more than enough to de-orbit the sat. With the inclusion of a docking port, you could add it to your space station or dock with it for whatever purpose and made easier with docking lights when docking at nightside of Droo.
Enjoy messing around with the Orbiter-I and it isn't the best I can do as you can see the effect of that with the A.S.I. so just criticize whatever you find bad with the rocket and maybe I'll fix it, if I can...
