Bare minimum to get into orbit

[neamerjell]

I found a bare minimum rocket to get into orbit:

KW Rocketry Vesta VR1

FL-T800 Fuel Tank

Kerbal Engineering System

Inline Reaction Wheel

2x3 Solar Panel

Z-100 Battery

OKTO2 Command Module

Mass: 5.463 t

Fuel: 360

Oxidizer: 440

Delta-V: 4525 m/s

Thrust: 120 KN

Isp: 350 s

TWR: 2.21

On an earlier test, I didn't have the battery or the solar panel and the command module lost power and Mechjeb couldn't make the circularization burn. I could possibly keep just the solar panel and drop the battery, but it would only save me 0.005 t.

You would be surprised how little it takes to get somewhere
