New to Simple Rockets 2, so I figure i'd make something simple yet cool.
Based off of the real life US Sounding Rocket, the WAC Corpoal, it uses a Solid rocket booster to launch it up into the skies, along with a liquid fuel engine to allow it to coast straight out of the atmosphere.
Originally spin stabilized, the physics engine didn't like it when the rocket spun at over 3000rpm and tended to disjoint itself, thus I have used a small gyro to give it some additute control (and simulate a paylod weight).
Instructions are about as simple as they come for casual sub orbital hops, stage when fuel is zero, and deploy chute when ground is close. It decelerates really quickly but don't worry, robots don't suffer G-force related side effects.
