Mission Summary: At T-3 seconds the dual bell engine will ignite and ramp up to full thrust, once the computer confirms it is full thrust the launch command will be issued at T-0 and the rocket will take flight. From there the ascent sequence will begin to slowly pitch the vehicle over to start increasing horizontal velocity to attain the proper orbital trajectory. Once the first stage burns out it will jettison and ascent will continue on the second stage engine. After the trajectory is correct the vehicle will coast to the proper point on the trajectory and will then ignite the engine to make a circular orbit. Once that is complete the vehicle will remain in orbit for a predetermined time. When that time is up it will use the 4 small orbital engines on the service module to slow the trajectory and enter the atmosphere again. Once the burn is complete the service module will jettison and the capsule will be guided to a safe splashdown with parachutes.
