This craft file will perform a fully automated ballistic hop from the Ali Launch Pad to the DSC Drone Ship -- it is specifically designed to complete the Career mode mission "Raining Rockets."
The rocket itself has been redesigned in this version -- version 1.3 (or somewhere around there) re-vamped the tech tree, and the hydrogen engine is now the 5th engine in the liquid fueled progression and the 3rd generation solid rocket engine is also harder to reach. The redesign uses the 2nd generation liquid fueled engines (the "Mage" engine) and the 2nd generation solid rocket (the "Ifrit" engine), which makes it far more accessible for career mode playthroughs.
It also makes it far cheaper, although you will still lose money on this contract.
