PSLV-C4 is a mission to deliver Kalpana-1 (Originally was named MetSat-1) to a Geostationary Transfer Orbit then used it's thrusters to take it to Geostationary Orbit.
It was named after Kalpana Chawla, the NASA astronaut who died when Space Shuttle Columbia burned up on the Columbia Reentry Disaster. The 4th stage and Kalpana-1 is made by me while the rocket (except the 4th stage) is made by simpleaerospace. The 4th stage of the rocket is my first rocket stage built by me. Use the RCS thrusters for assistance on burning from GTO to GEO. Use the 3rd Stage (If it still has fuel) and 4th stage to go to Geostationary Transfer Orbit. Deploy the satellite, deploy the solar panel using AG9 and Slider 1 (100%) and then when you reach the apoapsis, burn by pressing stage then AG6 to burn. You can have many burns because it's too long to go from GTO to GEO by only 1 burn. Remember to use the RCS thrusters for assistance. When the apoapsis and periapsis are the same, turn the throttle down and disable AG6. When you press the solar panel, take note of it's efficiency. When it is not 100% efficient or not to the maximum efficiency, Turn on AG5 and slide slider 1 until you get 100% efficiency or to the max efficiency then disable AG5.
AG5: Sun Sensor
Input: Slider 1
AG6: Thrusters
AG7: Gyro
AG9: Solar Panel
Input: Slider 1
AG10: RCS
It has 9 cameras: Staging Camera 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 (Deployment Camera), Earth-Observing Cameras 1 and 2.
