Sparrow 1.5 is a significant upgrade from the first of the sparrow launch family.This launch vehicle has a reusable first stage that automatically makes a ocean splash down a few hundred kilometres away from the DSC. .
The first Stage has Been extended by 1 Metre and now has aerobrakes to Aid the first stage during its descent. The first stage Utilizes 4 of the reliable Vulture 1 Engines, All 4 vultures produce 1,986KN of thrust.The first stage when depelted will seperate and is aided using a small seperation motor and the second stage will take over.The second stage wi propel your payload to a orbit of around 250Km (Apoapsis and Periapsis)
The First stage will then Flip Retrograde and will coast up until atmospheric reentry,The first stage will then deploy Aerobrakes to stabalize and slow down the stage. Once low enough in the atmosphere it will deploy 5 Main chutes and will safely splash down to be picked up and reused later
This launch Vehicle is Completely automated but may require user assistance with timewarping.This vehicle is also designed for small payloads.
Make sure to delete The first and second stage if you plan on launching this craft again because this will cause probelms when it comes to switching stage.
