I’ve looked and clicked all over, can’t find any “test” buttons. And the staging is the part I don’t understand after trying several more times. By the time the checkmarks are green, I’ve already used the decoupler, there is no way to use it again. I even used two back to back, failed to get it as well. I’ll keep trying. I’ve already made it to orbit and back and can’t get this simple contract!!

I am apparently stupid. Love this game, but I cannot get this contract fulfilled. And it's one of the most basic! The Test TD-12 Decoupler contract...I have flown it on a test rocket, landed both the pod and the boost stage with the coupler on it several times. I have tried just putting a pod and some legs on the launchpad, making the TD-12 the first stage, letting it drop/explode off. The green checkmarks say met, but it does not give me the reward and says it's still open. What apparently simple thing am I failing to do?? For what it's worth, I'm having the same issue on the Mk16 parachute test, but I think I've figured that out. I'm guessing I have to deploy it between a certain altitude and at a certain speed. Going to try that next. But the Decoupler...geez.
