Vehicle Development

Version	Flight	Observations	Required Improvements
0	1	High thrust of solid rocket boosters caused heat in atmosphere Insufficient delta v to escape atmosphere (Max altitude 58km)	Reduce thrust of solid rocket boosters to reduce drag losses. Modification Produce flight plan with maneuver costing. Planning
1	1	Insufficient delta v to escape atmosphere (Max altitude 53km)	Design larger lift engine. Modification
2	1	Insufficient delta v to hit high space. 80km @ 1200 m/s	Design larger lift engine. Modification
3	1	Unstable staging in atmosphere with removal of fins	Add interstage fins. Modification
4	1	Does not reach high space (150km @ 2000 delta v)	Design larger lift engine. Modification
5	1	Got close to G limit,	Stage parachute before hitting atmosphere in case of blackout. Checklist
