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.

Orbiter One on the launchpad (1.1)

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.

Craft Description

We're not sure if the engineers named this craft for its series, or for the number of boosters, and our pilots call it "The Unfinished". Whatever the reason for the name, it's an interesting craft to fly.
