One step forward

Venera-D model is done and in orbiter, Working on the configs now. I have to work out the weights and the aerodynamics for the entry capsule /lander, but things are working out as planned, Which is nice, for a change. Two steps back......
the CVEL Soyuz jettisons the fregat and the Venera-d payload at the same time, Venera-d should stay attached to the fregat, to make the burn to escape earth orbit. Need to find a solution for this
