My rocket keeps flipping when attempting a gravity turn.

Title. I am trying to send an Mobile Processing Lab to space but I cannot figure out what is causing this problem. This is my first time attempting to send a big payload up.

Does this happen after booster seperation?

[vagrant mulch]

Before

[jolly spoke]

could you send a photo with the center of mass and center of lift toggled on?

also, is this just to put the MPL into low kerbin orbit?

[vagrant mulch]

I was going for low mun orbit

It looks like your command module is upside down, the issue could possubly be that the game thinks your rocket is facing the ground. Try using the "Reverse" control point option in the pod

[jolly spoke]

oh yes!

it would be upside down

I recommend putting a probe core on the mpl segment and controlling it from there, that should fix it and gives you the bonus of maintaining control of it without a crew

also, dont forget parachutes on the return capsule. I cant tell if you have them or not from the screenshots, but just in case

Honestly, I just got rid of the boosters and it's fine now. I think my center of mass was too low. And thanks for the reminder regarding parachutes, that would have been an awful surprise lol.

[jolly spoke]

no problem!! ive made that mistake before.

also, you want your CoM to be high for a rocket

CoL should be below the CoM, and the farther they are the more stable the rocket

With probes, am I still able to maneuver and use all the SAS fine?

[vagrant mulch]

I thought it was the inverse, lol. Now I know

[jolly spoke]

depends on the probe core what SAS modes you can use, but yes you can do all that as long as you have a connection to kerbin

the antennas on it already will be fine for the mun, but you may lose signal while crossing the far side of the mun

[compact wagon]

depends on the probe

well looks like someone already said that word for word
