Controlled through AG not stages
V5- Craft is now scaled a little differently with better support!
I also fixed the RCS placement issue

Made in RSS

The Demonstration for Rocket to Agile Cislunar Operations (DRACO) spacecraft is a new Concept by DARPA and NASA which will demonstrate a nuclear thermal rocket engine for future use. Nuclear thermal propulsion technology could be used for future NASA crewed missions to Mars and even possibly Other celestials

I’m trying my best to make a full fledged concept that way we can all see what it’s like before it’s really here lol. I’ve been updating this and I believe this one is the most accurate I’ve made yet and hopefully it works well for you too.

CONTROLS
AG 1- SRB Ignition & Main Booster On
AG 6- SRB Detach
AG 2- DARPA Release
AG 3- DARPA Detach & Delivery/Cargo Stage
Telescope Release on stage 4
AG 4- Cargo/Delivery release & Celestial Module systems Start
AG 5- Lander Capsule Detach
AG 6- Capsule Re-Entry Protocol

Thanks for trying :)
