Orbiter One is a peculiar rocket that flies into space with one booster. This is a low tier spacecraft, as would be one that is built in early career mode. It only uses parts from the first 3 levels of the Tech tree.
Asymmetrical Booster Placement
Despite being available in early career mode, relying entirely on the booster for the first few minutes of flight is a bad idea because the radially asymmetric placement of the booster means that it will topple over and explode in a few seconds after ignition of the booster.
