HTR-01 Carrier rocket

The HTR-01 Carrier rocket is a payload delivery rocket, that is, as the name suggests, used to deliver satellites into orbit.

Side effects
The launch itself does not pose any risk as the rocket ignores all laws of inertia and air resistance, but what does pose risk is the booster separation. After a surprisingly short period of time since the launch has passed, the boosters will decouple, and since they are not recoverable, plus are decoupled very early on, which means that they are unable to burn up in the atmosphere, will slam into the ground at a relatively slow pace. The aftermath of the booster explosion is comparable to ~2 TNTs

Purpose

 * The rocket, as mentioned before, is only used for delivering satellites, excluding Gerald.
 * Gerald can only be launched with a Soyuz-FG rocket and its counterparts.


 * It is possible to use it as a missile, but is highly impractical because the boosters don't really go that far after decoupling, and because the booster explosion is relatively tiny compared to actual missiles.

Launch Checklist
The only real things you have to check are:


 * 1) Proximity to valuable structures, i.e. bases, refineries, etc etc.
 * 2) As the rocket is pre-fueled in the assembly machine, it only needs battery charge from the small launchpad.
 * 3) The satellite has to be loaded into the designator slot, without it, the rocket will just disappear, waste a lot of time, and resources.
 * 4) Check if the satellite you're launching has a designation, without it, you wont be able to control the satellite. The rocket will still launch, but in practice, the satellite, along with the rocket, is wasted.
