OOPS Scientist wanted more Gravioli data. So the engineers designed and built the D Series Bluejay 1 rocket.
However at the last moment the OOPS Experimental Division required that new illuminators be tested in space. So like most thing they were slapped on the rocket in pairs. Bluejay 1 X was born.
It Has Begun
In Kerbal Space Program (KSP) there is a wonderful modification (mod) called Better Than Starting Manned (BTSM). The author of this mod is named FlowerChild or FC for short. FC has created a challenging aspect to KSP. Not only do you do space missions, but with BTSM you have to think about what your next goal is and plan accordingly. When you add in KSP carreer mode, you need to do missions for Funds (the name of kerbal money in game) otherwise your space program will go broke, BTSM adds a level to the game that is just down right fun. For example do you research decouplers or another tank and rocket. Both can get you into an orbit but one will be cheaper for you or will allow you to do a few more missions for the Funds and science.
Now that I have learn most of how it all works. Orbital Object Propulsion Systems will be tracking how it gets things done.
(please note I will try to update at least once a week on Sunday, however some weeks I will not be able to post a mission or four because of my schedule)

Mission 007: B Series Rocket Tanager Model 2 Experimental
Face with new mission/contract to test a new fuel system in space OOPS engineers decide the B series could do it with small modifications. The reasons were the B series of rockets were simple and achieved the altitude needed for the test.
Our scientist also wanted more gravity data from space. This meant the new rocket would need more batteries because gravity data was large and took a bit to transmit. The all fell into place with the Tanager 2 Experimental.
OOPS executive felt the engineers went a bit overboard on the batteries but the engineers assured them they need that much in case the craft "accidentally" got into orbit. So the designed remained intake and the launch proceeded.

Mission 005: B Series Rocket Tanager Model 1 Experimental
With the first manned mission under our belt it was time to get some needed funds and do some testing of a new part. So we dusted off an Tanager 1 and created Tanager 1 X
