Welcome to the Rocket Tester Wiki! Rocket Tester often shortened to RT is a free-roam rocket launching game created by TriplePattyBurger.Enjoy launching rockets from the R-7 Sputnik to Crew Dragon there are many rockets to choose from.
WORF was launched aboard STS-131 on the Space Shuttle Discovery. Destiny is most famous for it's experiments such as VEG-03 which grew romaine lettuce and cabbage. It also has two of the Canadarm2 control stations on the ISS with the other location being in the Cupola.
Until the advent of the Crew Dragon and Space Shuttle, the main way to get up and down to the station used to be on the Soyuz Capsule. As NASA was the only other space agency in the ISS agreement that had the capabilities to launch humans many responsibilities that formerly would be carried out using a Shuttle now had to be done with a Soyuz.
Example of a custom space station. Note the Buran spaceplane attached to it. Space stations are structures that can be assembled in space. There are many different space stations. The most notable are Mir, ISS, And Skylab. Space stations cannot be built with more than 20 modules.
Zarya was the first ISS module launched. It was built by a Russian company but is technically owned by the U.S. Zarya was originally designed as a module for Mir but was never launched. Instead being repurposed as a module for the ISS. Zarya has 38 thrusters to be used for steering and raising the station. Zarya had a design expectancy of 15 years that date has already passed. Zarya translates into English as dawn or sunrise. The name was chosen to reflect the "dawn of a new era"
There are 16 thrusters on the exterior to raise the station if needed. Zvezda also has the Life-support systems for most of the station. The rocket of which Zvezda used to launch had a Pizza Hut advertisement, one of the few examples of a succesful space advertisement campaign.

Zvezda is the second Russian segment to the ISS. Zvezda was originally build to become part of "Mir 2" Zvezda has a small kitchen with a refrigerator and small freezer, It has room for two astronauts to sleep. There are 16 thrusters on the exterior to raise the station if needed.
Unity. Unity is the second module and the first American module of the ISS. It is the main module where food is stored and made. Unity also came with 2 Pressurized Mating Adapters (PMA). PMA 1 is permanently docked to Unity connecting the Russian Orbital Segment (ROS) and the United States Orbital Segment (USOS).
The International Space Station (ISS) is the 9th and only Space Station in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) after Mir, Salyut, Skylab, etc. Some of the spacecraft that can travel to it (Including retired spacecraft) include the Soyuz, Space Shuttle, And Crew Dragon. The ISS is an international collaboration between NASA, (The) European Space Agency, ...
Modules are an important part of the ISS. They keep most of the station powered and working. Modules are also habitats for the astronauts on the station and places to store things like hardware and tools. Below are the information about them.
The Space Shuttle was one of the first few rockets released when the game first came out, costing 12,500 Research. It gives 5,000 Research if it goes higher than 30k studs or 2,000 if it goes 20-30k studs .
In 1981 the first launch occurred using the Space Shuttle Columbia this was STS-1. STS-1 occurred on April 12 which was also the 20th anniversary of Vostok 1, the first manned spaceflight in human history. The Shuttle was designed to shuttle astronauts between space stations. This didn't occur until STS-63, As the shuttle didn't dock with space stations before this mission most missions carried the Spacelab module a joint program with the ESA. The Shuttle program was doing well until January 28, 1986, when Space Shuttle Challenger had a disastrous disintegration due to an O-ring malfunction caused by lack of maintenance. All seven crew members of the shuttle were killed. This postponed/cancelled future shuttle missions until NASA found a solution to fix it. A second disaster happened in February 1, 2003, when Space Shuttle Columbia burned up while trying to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere due to a hole in the heat shield caused by a foam strike during launch. Again, everyone on board was killed. NASA postponed/cancelled future missions once again and tried to create a better heat shield. Finally, in 2011, Space Shuttle Atlantis, after the retirement of Discovery and Endeavour, made the program's final launch. The three orbiters were then placed in museums. These orbiters were Atlantis, Discovery, and Endeavour. The Shuttle's legacies became very known in famous missions and rockets, and the Space Shuttle became one of the most famous and well-known rockets in history.
The list follows the order in which they were built. Space Shuttle Enterprise (Named after the USS Enterprise NCC-1701) Space Shuttle Columbia. Space Shuttle Challenger (Was named after a British corvette) Space Shuttle Discovery (Was named after Thomas Cook's second ship)

Designed as a partially reusable rocket, the space shuttle started operations in 1982. Five were built and launched on 135 missions, two of which ended in disaster. The external tank was the only non-reusable part of the shuttle.
The Space Shuttle Program started in 1977 with the Approach and Landing Tests using the test shuttle Enterprise, named after the Star Trek ship. In 1981 the first launch occurred using the Space Shuttle Columbia this was STS-1.
A second disaster happened in February 1, 2003, when Space Shuttle Columbia burned up while trying to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere due to a hole in the heat shield caused by a foam strike during launch. Again, everyone on board was killed.
