The IXR-1 is a 4-stage medium-lift launch vehicle capable of 15 tonnes to LEO.

The IXR-1 uses 3 solid stages and 1 methalox stage. and is somewhat inspired by the Vega and Vega C rockets by the ESA.

the launch is more automated than most of my other rockets, but I had some issues with parts. Once the 3rd stage separates and ignites you need to lock onto 0 degrees pitch and do the 4th stage separation and burn yourself.

(15 tonnes and an interstage is the absolute maximum the vehicle can do so it's a bit awkward and hard to do, but it's still capable of doing it)
