Auto Credit Based on OikawaOiJosuke's Pengorbit 1 w. IVAB-OS

Pengorbit 01 (Orbiter 01) is a fictional small launch vehicle produced by Abir Aerospace GmbH from 1984, for the DuSCO program named "Leichtes Trägerraketensystem" or LTRS in West Germany. it was the DuSCO company's first step into space exploration by sending an observation satellite into orbit, becoming the second private company to attempt private development and manufacturing of a space propulsion system after OTRAG.

The rocket was based on the Zuschlagen Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missile, using hypergolic propellant, Dinitrogen Tetroxide and UDMH, which the Soviet Union has always used for ICBMs or their launch vehicles. the rocket engines were reverse engineered, in other words they copied from the very powerful Soviet stage combustion engines.

Their first successful launch on May 13, 1985 was launched in a fairly large and quiet area in the state of Bavaria, West Germany. carrying an Indonesian-made observation satellite called "IVAB-OS" which stands for "Indonesian Van Allen Belt Observation Satellite", this mission aims to calculate the radiation in the Van Allen Belt from the lowest altitude to the top of the satellite's orbit, and this mission is planned to last for 2-3 weeks. but the satellite only worked for 12 days in space due to a system malfunction, after which it was hit by space debris and burned to earth the next day. from 1984 to 1995, 15 rockets were launched, of which 2 failed to launch.
