Ariane 5-ES + ATV, automatic cargo rocket (Vanilla)

Vanilla 1:1 fully automatic scale replica of the Arianespace's launch vehicle, Ariane 5-ES most notable launches of this version were the ISS resupply missions using Ariane Transfer Vehicle, or ATV as payload. The ATV is an automatic vehicle ferrying cargo in its pressurized segment to ISS. The ATV was also used to boost the station in stationkeeping tasks.

The replica is fully automatic, fully staging. Tested to carry 1 full SG LCC of stone with the ATV into orbit rendezvous point under survival ruleset, however build is not printer ready.

1) Set destination waypoint in "Remote Control ATV", check parameters are one-way/no collision avoidance (this is important because the drone goes crazy otherwise as it has subgrids in it)
2) Trigger the Timer: Ignition!

Rest is automated.

Solid rocket boosters will fall down and parachute, rest will not as they would burn in atmo.

If you desire, you can remove the ATV and substitute your own drone/cargo! It should not impact the rocket's operation as long as weight is low enough, if not and you wish to test its limits, tune the timer "Throttle choke" either longer for heavier, or shorter for lighter payloads. Minimum value for choke is 20s for pure ATV, no cargo.
