Thunder 7 is a Light Medium semi reusable launch vehicle
the first stage is comprised of 6 thunder 1 engines
stage 2 is reusable and has 1 lighting 1 engine
as soon as you hit about 50km periapsis separate the fairings when you hit 60km periapsis turn over to 0 degrees and burn the remaining stage 1 [recommended steps, not needed]
the preset payload is 4 Dwldjon space industry CubeSats equipped with vapor engines
each cubesat has about 1.5k m/s delta V
AG1: deploy sats
timewarp untill cubesats are spread out more
before deorbit maneuver out of the way so you dont impact any
be sure to come in shallow enough so you dont burn up
[i recommend to atleast have 10% fuel left on stage 2 to prevent rapid unplanned burn ups if needed!]

Got all 4 cubes are in orbit at 0 degree eccentricity orbits at 100km, 250km, 500km and 1000km all in a little over 3 hours... great vehicle! Works a lot like the electron rocket.
