This is a collection of scripts I wrote to launch a rocket into Low Kerbin Orbit in Kerbal Space Program. They are still incomplete. Things like data readouts may not work as intended and the launch profile is likely far from optimal. Unfortunately I lost the .craft file at some point. Sorry about that. To make the scripts work, you'll need a copy of Kerbal Space Program (duh) and the kOS mod: https://ksp-kos.github.io/KOS/
Fly safe, and have fun!
I am not going to put a whole lot of work into the documentation here. If you need clarification, please open an issue called "your instructions suck and i need help" or something.
