The craft has been updated and resized to better match the real MIDAS-2.

I don't recommend using a mobile device or a low-performance device for this craft for long periods of time in build mode or just in a long time with it not yet launched in flight mode, as this craft can cause your game to crash in mobile and weak-performance devices.

Craft Info:

MIDAS-2, launched in May 24, 1960 (May 24's also my birthday btw) was the first ever Atlas Agena A to launch successfully to its desired orbit. Although it was initially successful, an issue in atitude control caused it to tumble and tumble, and it made its final transmission 2 days lated, in May 26. It would reenter the atmosphere 14 years later. The program's name, MIDAS, is a backronym that stands for the Missile Defense Alert System, and it's designed to detect the heat from an ICBM launch, warning the US about it. It never really got much success, but it paved the way for more advanced successors like the Defense Support Program.

Activation Groups and Inputs:

Atlas-Agena:

AG1: Launch Support Bays

• Simply the clamshell bays on the skirt that close after liftoff for it to become more aerodynamic

AG2: Booster Engines

• Starts the booster engines and its exhaust duct (this action only works once and once you try to turn it on again it won't work even when on)

AG3: Launch Supports

• Executes a code to activate the stage that releases the rocket from the pad, and also lifts up the launch supports in the process

• Slider 1: Ground Launch Supports
• Slider 2: Tower Arm

AG4: Sustainer Engine

• Starts the sustainer engine (this action only works once and once you try to turn it on again it won't work even when on)

AG5: Jettison Half Stage

• Executes a code to separate the half stage from the Atlas and create a tumbling effect for it

AG6: Spin Table

• Spins the MIDAS sensor a full revolution every 30 seconds

AG7: Launch Sequence

• Executes the program that would take it to an orbit that's, with its capabilities, the closest to the real mission orbit. Follows launch sequence as close as it can to the real mission

AG10: RCS

• Enables Agena RCS

AG11: Bell 8048

• Enables the engine of the Agena, its gimbal, as well as its exhaust duct (this action only works once and once you try to turn it on again it won't work even when on)

AG12: Ullage Rocket Motors

• Starts up the pair of Ullage motors to give a bit of a push to the Agena to start the Bell 8048 engine
(this action only works once and once you try to turn it on again it won't work even when on)

Pad:

AG3: Launch Supports

• Same as the one from Atlas Agena, but the pad chip controls the launch support arms, and it's controlled remotely

• Slider 1: Ground Support Arms
• Slider 2: Tower Arm

AG6: Launch Clearing Arms

• It's basically that structure that can rotate until, bars from it hit the Atlas. It's probably a support for when the launch vehicle is being rotated to upright (I could make a mechanism like that but as of now it doesn't work right).

• Slider 1: Launch Clearing Arms

Notes:

The Sustainer Engine, the Booster Engines and the Bell 8048 engine only ignite once to better match the real thing

There are 2 launch cameras, and 2 cameras on the rocket.

The Interior Camera isn't a real thing on the real craft, it's just something I put to prove that the sensor is in the protective nosecone.

The gray diagonal thing on the launch tower was supposed to be a net. BUT it doesn't really work like I wanted so I just used it as decoration to add for accuracy.

The small difference of radius between the bottom of the Agena interstage and the top of the Atlas's LOX tank is intentional.

The structure in front of the tower is the base structure for the gantry crane (the crane I made on the pad of the SCORE spacecraft craft)

Creator Notes:

Laziness has delayed this craft very much, but I'd like to say I've finally overcome it and posted this guy, with a few changes and a few more decorations added to it. The red and black pattern at the RP1 tank (simply the bottom fuel tank) is a real pattern in the real Atlas 45D. I've put a bit more decorations on the aft rack to let it look more realistic. Also added some line design on the craft for that same reason: Realism and Detail. Also shortly after this I'll make a 1:1 version of this and thoroughly test it before releasing it. Also, expect a resurgence in activity here, I'm trying my best to not be distracted by other things while making these crafts.

Note: Pictures used here for the craft post may not show the current version of the craft's design

Also I'm sorry, but this craft isn't in a 1:1 scale or a perfect 2:1 scale

Enjoy the Craft!

Mission Video: Not yet out as of now, just wait!
