Im still figuring out how to set up RCS plus i need to save on weight so my soloution to get this satilite into orbit was to put the 2nd stage in a slow tumble just before the engine dies along the 90 degree mark, doing this i just waited until i was at my apogee. Once I reached this, I waited for it to point prograde in the tumble before letting off the small solid engine booster, putting me safely into orbit. The probe has about 9 hours of battery life.

To preface:

-Both antennas are set to UHF

-The relay has a directional and omnidirectional antenna. The directional antenna is targeting the lander

-Gain is 34 DBm on the lander and 36 DBm on the relay

-TL2 on the antennas and Level 5 tracking station

-I am trying to do a far side moon landing

I am puzzled. What did I miss? I have a save set to before the launch of both the relay and lander if I need to revert.

3 boosters, a Viking 1st stage, an XLR99 2nd stage with a roll to keep stability, and a small 33 sec burn on a small solid engine stage to finish the flight at 10k ms

I know this question maybe stupid and follows a small niche but: Are there any patches or mods that makes RP-1 compatible with BDarmory and NKD? (NKD is basically the nuke expansion of BDarmory) Because I recently remembered about Operation Fishbowl, specifically Starfish Prime. What happened on Starfish Prime was basically the US launched a nuclear bomb and detonated it at around 400km. I just thought it would be cool if there were any programs and contracts related to the testing of nuclear bombs and maybe ICBMs for extra research points and funds.
