4-At 2000m altitude, select prograde then select stability Assist after craft tilted toward prograde.
5-Switch back and forth between prograde and stability assist to achieve desired flight path for gravity roll
6-Make sure prograde is selected right before boosters run out of fuel or craft will spin out of control when booster engines stop
7-Fly the craft into LKO with remaining fuel in the main external tank. Should have sufficient fuel left there to reach LKO
8-After reaching LKO, drop the main fuel tank then control from Mk2 Inline Cockpit

Descent procedure:

1-Perform the descent burn. Don’t descent too shallow or the craft will overheat. Since the craft is very light, you can select a deep descent safely.

3-Land!

*Pro tip: To ensure safe accent into orbit, play Sovient anthem in the background.
