None Symetrical Payload and rocket stability

[endl]

So i Designed a "multi purpose rover" its a fuel station, recon plane, 0 atmo VTOL, and buggy. problem is now i must launch it and needless to say my rocket is highly unstable atm. im looking for some kind of suggestion on how to get this to my space station 150km in orbit safely

[Strainborm]

Control surfaces / Vernon engines should help, at least on the earlier part part of the launch. Otherwise, balancing and assymetrical rocket is a lot of trial and error

[DeMatt]

Launch components individually? Launch two of them, back-to-back?

It's kind of hard to tell how you've built your rover from the thumbnail you've posted... can you link to the full-size screenshot?

Before you attach the boosters to kick it up into orbit, whilst in the VAB check out your Center of Mass. Whatever side the CoM is heavier on, you attach ballast to the opposite side. Easiest done by bolting on a radial decoupler with a large truss and at the end of it a fuel tank that tilts the CoM a little over the Center-point. Then drain that fuel tank of a little fuel until the CoM-ball is centered. Then just proceed to strut up your ballast, bolt the boosters back on and away to orbit you go

The one part challenge really put the test on balancing such rockets. Tweaking thrust helped a lot on the design to get it to fly efficiently.

Yes, the solar panels are the two variants of the 1x6 ans 2x3.

One of the issues with "big part" payloads is drag. TWR above 1.5 below 15km can easily make rocket uncontrollable. I would suggest removing KR engines and try old good Mainsail.

Few more SAS and Winglets are obvious to improve stability. Don't recommend adding winglets on top.

If you don't mind mods I'd suggest the hangar mod.

This might let you do that: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/88933-0-24-2-Hangar
