SRTO = Satellite Rocket To Orbit

What happened?

Lecsy Kerman, founder of prominent multi-billion dollar corporation, "KSC", funded by RnD, proudly shows the world the capabilities of their new rocket named, "RnD Vulcan Sat-P". This lightweight, low budget launch vehicle successfully launched the "Sat-P" probe with an astounding launch history of 7 out 10 successful missions. Sat-P 3, 6, and 8 didn't sustain enough periapsis height whereas it skimmed back into the atmosphere before researchers could gain enough science about their orbital body.

As depicted in this picture, Lecsy Kerman tells us how the engineers really proved their worth to stay another night. "They managed to find the right amount of delta-V to make this reach a very low orbit around Kerbin." proclaims Lecsy "The only downside is launch conditions and fuel flow must run near perfect in order to achieve such possibilities. Fortunately, the dual stage solid rocket boosters gives us an additional 1,500 meters per second delta v which raises our periapsis from -500,000 meters to a shocking 100,000 (At best)."

How did they do it?

The rocket consisted of 5 stages consisting of

1. Ignition of all main engines
   
2. Staging of return-able boosters
   
3. Burn out of main engine: Stage Secondary
   
4. Burn out of Secondary: Stage Twin-Powered Solid-fuel Stage #1
   
5. Burn out: Stage Solid Fuel Stage #2

Thanks for viewing folks!

Have a nice (Kerbal) day.

And hopefully some explosions!

I like it! We need more ground support vehicles in KSP, like that transport rover you've got there.

Hmm, it gives me an idea...

Glad I sparked an idea

In regards to the rover, I just thought it would be nice to add that because the game does have the transport rover wheels its just we forget they are there and tend to forget the first thing that happens when you need to launch your rocket away from the VAB.
