    Introduction and Mods

    The Rules

    1. Rocket launches must be fully automated using kOS and SmartParts.
    2. Launch vehicles must have self-contained guidance, and not rely on payloads.
    3. Long-duration, non-cryogenic  stages must use low-efficiency engines to simulate hypergolic fuels.
    4. Crewed vehicles must be flight-certified before they carry any crew.
    5. Crewed vehicles may not use SRBs.
    6. AntennaRange / USI LS (in K.I.A. mode) will be used.
    7. Missions must be progressive:
      1. Uncrewed before crewed.
      2. Suborbital/flyby before orbital.
      3. Orbital before landing.
    8. Launches are permitted every 23 days on Kerbin.
