RCS thrusters added. Advanced nav system added. Removed X200-32 tank. Skipper engine removed in favor of three LV-T30's attached with a TVR-300L tricoupler. System was more stable though it had less range. The next goal is a stable orbit. Jeb safely splashed down of the coast.
The RCS did not last the duration of the maiden voyage. It is unclear if this was due to a lack of battery or the need for extra RCS fuel.
