1000m is much higher than real rockets pitch over, but good for KSP with forgiving aerodynamic stress. It's just a convenient round number and gives a few seconds of breathing room to make sure the fiery end of the rocket points to the ground before start of maneuvering.
- dotancohen 3y agoI do remember the Shuttle pitch and roll real early, though I thought that was to point the antennas (K-band was it?) at the receivers.
- exDM69 3y agoThe roll is to change the orbital inclination, the pitch is to set ascent trajectory.
