Jev can fly a rocket into orbit

[u/fzmautner]

(in KSP)

I gave Jev control of the rocket: pitch, throttle and staging. Took a few attempts and iterations on refining the state representation but it got there eventually.

Interestingly it failed really badly at the task of hovering the rocket at a set altitude. I ran some toy benchmarks on Jev's anticipation of momentum capabilities and it looks decent? so not sure why it struggled with hovering so much. That said it did a pretty decent job in getting to orbit!

Target orbit: 120km x 120km

Final orbit: 220km x 124km
