Fairing 1150 kg (jettison ≥115 km). Target orbit: 500 km circular, v_circ = 7616 m/s.

PHYSICS MODEL

RK4 integration, Δt = 50 ms (250 ms exo-atmospheric) · inverse-square gravity μ = 3.986×10¹⁴ · exponential atmosphere ρ = 1.225·e^−h/7200 kg/m³ · Mach-dependent C_d (transonic rise) · thrust = ṁ·Isp(p)·g₀ with sea-level→vacuum Isp interpolation · mass decreases as ṁ·t · Earth-rotation credit 451 m/s east (13.7°N) · drag uses air-relative velocity · 2-D equatorial-plane approximation · structural limits q ≤ 95 kPa and q·α ≤ 2800 Pa·rad · PS4 ignites on Kepler time-to-apogee ≤ 260 s · MECO when perigee ≥ target − 20 km.
