Type One Rocket

The Type One Rocket is available at the beginning of the game, and requires nothing to operate (except the political will of your nation, and a modest budget). This rocket is the first step in establishing a human colony on Mars.

In one contributor's opinion, the Type One resembles a real-life Delta IV Heavy with a Dragon capsule payload.

The Type One has a cargo capacity of 7,000 kg, of which 6,000kg is the small lander. This leaves 1,000 kg for a cargo of your choice. Except, the payload fairing is too small to carry the Mineral Extractor or Dozer. Only the Type Two Rocket can carry such a load.
