You need a [[Computer]] with a [[Rocket Control Motherboard]] attached to a [[Logic Uplink]] tuned to the [[Logic Rocket Downlink|downlink]] component on the rocket.

A [[Launch Mount]] must be built on a set of 4 ([[Steel Frames|steel]] or [[Iron Frames|iron]]) frames.

Add enough [[Launch Tower]] parts to support umbilicals corresponding to each of your umbilical sockets (Power, Gas|Liquid, Chute). Leave 2 metres between the rocket and the tower so the umbilicals have room. Warning: retract your umbilicals before launching.
+
Start with a [[Launch Mount]] which must be built on set of 4 ([[Steel Frame|steel]] or [[Iron Frame|iron]]) frames.
  
== Building the Rocket ==
+
Add
 
+
* [[Engine Mount]]
===Propulsion system===
+
* some kind of engine:  [[Pressure Fed Gas Engine]], [[Pumped Gas Engine]], [[Pressure Fed Liquid Engine]], or [[Pumped Liquid Engine]]
* [[Engine Mount]]. This must be built on the Launch Mount.
+
* one or more [[Fuselage]]
* Some kind of engine:  [[Pressure Fed Gas Engine]], [[Pumped Gas Engine]], [[Pressure Fed Liquid Engine]] or [[Pumped Liquid Engine]]
+
* one or more fuel tanks matching your engine: [[Special:MyLanguage/Kit (Rocket Gas Fuel Tank)|Gas Capsule Tank Small]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Kit (Rocket Gas Fuel Tank)|Gas Capsule Tank Medium]], [[Liquid Capsule Tank Small]], or [[Liquid Capsule Tank Medium]]
* One or more [[Fuselage]]s for fuel tanks
 
* One or more fuel tanks matching your engine: [[Special:MyLanguage/Kit (Rocket Gas Fuel Tank)|Gas Capsule Tank Small]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Kit (Rocket Gas Fuel Tank)|Gas Capsule Tank Medium]], [[Liquid Capsule Tank Small]] or [[Liquid Capsule Tank Medium]]
 
 
* [[Umbilical Socket (Gas)]] or [[Umbilical Socket (Liquid)]] depending on your engine
 
* [[Umbilical Socket (Gas)]] or [[Umbilical Socket (Liquid)]] depending on your engine
* [[Kit (Pipe)]] or [[Kit (Insulated Pipe)]] for connecting the fuel tanks and engine
+
* one or more [[Battery (Medium)]]
Gas-fuelled rockets use a 2:1 [[Volatiles]]:[[Oxygen]] mixture.  You can fit about 30,000 moles of gas in a medium capsule tank.
+
* [[Umbilical Socket (Power)]]
 +
* [[Logic Rocket Downlink]]
 +
* [[Rocket Avionics]] (do not forget this, or your rocket will not even show up on the computer)
 +
* [[Fairing]] on the top.
 +
Add [[Cable Coil]] (and [[Cable Coil (Heavy)]] as necessary) to power the components.  Add [[Kit (Pipe)]] or [[Kit (Insulated Pipe)]] for the fuel tanks and engine.
  
===Power payload system===
+
Add enough [[Launch Tower]] to support umbilicals corresponding to each of your umbilical sockets (Power, Gas|Liquid, Chute). * Leave 2 meters between the rocket and the tower so the umbilicals have room.
* One or more [[Fuselage]]s
 
* One or more [[Auxiliary Rocket Battery]] or [[Battery (Medium)]]
 
* [[Umbilical Socket (Power)]]
 
  
===Scanning payload system===
+
== scanning ==
In order to map space you will need a rocket with the following:

In order to map space you will need a rocket with these:
* One or more [[Fuselage]]s
 
 
* [[Rocket Scanner]]
 
* [[Rocket Scanner]]
 
* [[Rocket Scanner Head]] (this is a consumable)
 
* [[Rocket Scanner Head]] (this is a consumable)
You do not need to put these on the same rocket as your mining equipment.  Keeping them separate will allow you to map and mine separately.

===Mining payload system===
+
== mining ==
* One or more [[Fuselage]]s
 
 
* [[Umbilical Socket (Chute)]]
 
* [[Umbilical Socket (Chute)]]
 
* [[Rocket Miner]]
 
* [[Rocket Miner]]
* One of seven different drill heads for the Rocket Miner: [[Mining-Drill Head (Basic)]], [[Mining-Drill Head (Durable)]], [[Mining-Drill Head (High Speed Ice)]], [[Mining-Drill Head (High Speed Mineral)]], [[Mining-Drill Head (Ice)]], [[Mining-Drill Head (Long Term)]], [[Mining-Drill Head (Mineral)]]. This is a consumable item.

* [[Rocket Mining-Drill Head]] (this is a consumable)
* One or more [[Cargo Storage (Small)]] or [[Cargo Storage (Medium)]]
+
* one or more [[Cargo Storage (Small)]] or [[Cargo Storage (Medium)]]
 
Use [[Chute]]s to connect your miner to the storage and the storage to the umbilical socket.

===Guidance system===
+
== etc ==
* [[Logic Rocket Downlink]]
+
 
* [[Rocket Avionics]] (must be built or the rocket will not even show up on the computer)
+
Gas-fueled rockets use a 2:1 [[Volatiles]]:[[Oxygen]] mixture.  You can fit about 30000 moles in a medium tank.
  
===Rocket top===
+
== Warning ==
* [[Fairing]] on the top
 
  
===Note===
+
Retract your umbilicals before launching.
Important: You do not have to build all of the systems from scratch and/or separately: you can combine parts of the payload and guidance system into the same Fuselages to optimize and keep the rocket as small as possible.
