Mission 011: D Series Rocket Bluejay Model 1

OOPS Engineers developed a RCS system designed to be able to control rockets where there is little to no atmosphere. and placed it on the Bluejay 1, now, new and improved


Sadly the extra weight made it difficult to control properly and the rocket never made it into orbit. Although it was not a success it did yield good research. OOPS engineers determined that any craft orbiting Kerbin would need more power so the amount of batteries needed to be increase. The also determined there had to be a way to loose the dead weight of spent rocket and empty fuel tanks. Finally they used to fact that they could control the craft because of the RCS and was able to bring the whole craft, minus 1 battery, back to safely crash into Kerbin. instead of exploding around 25 km.
