Here she is, the Kerb Dropper!

A what i would call Medium size lifter looking at the sizes of some on the monster rockets on these forums. She carries a single Kerbal TV Satellite. Tuner to KCTV 'Kerbal Clone TV'.

After take off the first set of SRB\'s Burn out and seperate in two stage due to proximity. The second stage SRB\'s aboce then ignite and end as the Liquid engines go through their first tank of gas, these SRB\'s are then jettisoned.

The tri/tri system of liquid rockets then burns just outside of orbit where the initial stage keeps going as the secondary higher stage drops off while lined up ready to burn before the Apoapsis to extend Periapsis. Once orbit is achived the Tri liquid rockets there from launch are dropped leaving the rocket with a x2 Fuel load and Liquid Fuel engine, the Payload and the Command capsule with its own engine.

This is the orbit i achieved first time after 3 test flights and no Kerbal losses.
