Freedom 1

My 5th rocket and my first one with a Vizzy code.

            Vizzy Code

This Vizzy code does everything for you, including launching the rocket and recovering the first stage. It’s pretty much hands free. However, after landing the first stage, you have to do the rest of your mission mission manually, because the code isn’t a mind reader. It cannot predict where you want to travel to. It also logs your altitude, atmospheric pressure, mach number, and solar radiation level up to 30,000 km. In addition, it displays commentary for some of the mission too.

                The Rocket

Freedom 1 has obviously been inspired by SpaceX’s Falcon 9-Crew Dragon rocket. It is pretty big, but not capable of flying to another celestial body other than Luna, unlike my previous rockets. The crew capsule holds up to 12 Droonauts, so if you tweaked the rocket, you could make a Luna colony with it. All the AG’s are named for what they do.

                First Stage

The first stage has 9 engines that run off kerolox fuel, as you can see in the pictures. It also has a command chip embedded in it, so it can run its program. There are two cameras; one by the engines and one at the top of the stage, so you can get good views while it is launching. It also has 5 parachutes to help slow it during its descent. Do not worry if it looks like it is about to melt while exiting or entering Earth’s atmosphere, I have given almost every part a heat shield, and it has been rigorously tested.

                Second Stage

The second stage has one engine powered by methalox fuel. It is used for circularizing your trajectory and orbital maneuvers. It gets into orbit on its own, but you will have to manually fly it after that. After achieving orbit however, it is supposed to switch to the first stage for landing. However, I have found an issue where it will not find the first stage’s craft number and switch to it. In this case, switch it manually. If anyone has any idea on a potential solution, feel free to suggest it in the comments. This stage too is heat-shielded, so it will not explode. Like the first stage, it has a camera (Only one); it is by the engine. That’s really all there is to say about it. Moving on...

                The Crew Capsule

This part of the rocket, as I stated earlier, can hold 12 people. It is equipped with one camera, and has 4 parachutes (One main one, three small ones). It has one, small engine powered by methalox fuel. In addition, it has 4 solar panels on the sides. A majority of the parts have been heat-shielded.

If there are any issues, feel free to tell me in the comments. This is all there really is to say. I hope you enjoy the rocket
