Recovery stage

[Avarax]

I start build rocket with RE-15 engine and in future start build rocket with largest rocket i want recovery every station because price is expensive. But how can i do this ? Is some mod can help me or every stage must put probe ?

To recover stages in a reasonable way, you need a mod. The usual one is Stage Recovery.

Second Stage Recovery.  Equip your stage with what's needed to land it and you get back the value--note that it is adjusted for where it comes down!  The stuff that comes off early in a launch can easily get a 95% recovery (you don't see quite that much because the fuel is burnt and not recovered!) but a booster jettisoned before circularization generally gets about 50%.

While I have not deliberately tried it a stage that is jettisoned after attaining low orbit and equipped with a decent retrorocket should be able to get a very good recovery if you jettison about opposite to KSC.  I have done this once by accident--a fuel tank that had a separation motor with good kick to it deorbited itself but I haven't ever built a rocket with that in mind.

First stage can be recovered in stock ksp. Just raise Ap of second stage high enough(80~90km), and in the meantime land the first stage back. Just some airbreaks and chutes needed if you don't want to do hard powered landing.
