The R-5 was Russia's big step towards an active nuclear deterrent. This rocket still flies the same as the previous ones but comes with more control over the warhead after separation. It was often used to test equipment for newer missiles and would later launch the first American into space. Redstone was America's first large rocket. This rocket is still the same setup as the R-2 except you want to remember to Stage the rocket when the fuel runs out and, of course, remember to use the parachute. This rocket took dogs up to about 200km altitude before returning them in the detachable nose cone. The R-2A had science modules in the nose and attached to the sides of the rocket. This is a good rocket for learning when the best moment to deploy a warhead from a ballistic missile is. The R-2 was Russia's attempt to improve on the V-2's design. Use this rocket to see how high or far you can go. This Rocket was another V-2 but this time it had a WAC corporal on top to test second staging. This rocket is the same as the V-2 except for an added returnable science canister, just stage when you'd like it to deploy. The V-2 Sounding Rocket would be launched into the upper atmosphere, collect some data then return it safely by ejecting a canister at about the apex of its trajectory. If you want to increase it's range just top up the fuel in the VAB. Note that some of the fuel has been removed. This craft has no action groups all you do is launch and lean in the direction you want to go in. But it was also the first man made object to reach space. The missile was developed during WWII in Germany as a vengeance weapon. The V-2 was the world's first long-range guided ballistic missile. Remember to check the file tab for each individual craft. This is my new project where I'm using ksp 1.6.0 with Making History to replicate a whole host of space craft from the space race era starting at the V2 Rocket and finishing with post Apollo missions like Skylab.
