Quick Guide

🎯 Mission Objective

Design a rocket capable of reaching 10,000 meters altitude. Stack parts strategically to achieve your goal!

🔧 Building Basics

  • • Command Pods - Control center (must have one)
  • • Fuel Tanks - Store propellant for engines
  • • Engines - Provide thrust to lift off

💡 Pro Tips

  • • Keep TWR above 1.2 for reliable liftoff
  • • Place heavy parts at the bottom for stability
  • • Balance fuel capacity with engine power
  • • More engines = faster fuel consumption

💬 Understanding Stats:
• TWR (Thrust-to-Weight Ratio) - Must be >1 to lift off
• Stability - Higher is better, avoid top-heavy designs
• Est. Altitude - Predicted max height
