[[1.12.5] Bluedog Design Bureau - Stockalike Saturn, Apollo, and more! (v1.13.0 "Забытый" 13/Aug/2023)]

Tried to remake the Saturn IB Gemini station, pretty enjoyable craft and a lot of space for space friends Just tweakscaled the SM for the fat gemini to the diamater of a LDC second stage!

[[1.12.5] Bluedog Design Bureau - Stockalike Saturn, Apollo, and more! (v1.13.0 "Забытый" 13/Aug/2023)]

Based on this I recreate the Gemini holding the single lander. Legs don't fits in the cargo but it's okay for me and looks nice ! I love this little lander, it really feels like being space cowboys

Comrade, that looks like a very bourgeois descent stage 

/jk Thats amazing. Love the airlock.

Bourgeoisie ? Where ? I only see great lander base komrade nothing in relation with capitalists pïgs !

> Many thanks ! I need to find some trick for the base, making it less LM looking.

Inspired by the lovely LK of @NeoFatalis I also made a detailed LK with the lunar soyuz !

[[1.12.X] Tantares - Stockalike Soyuz and MIR [26.0][18.12.2023][Soyuz Revamp Again]]

Beale : remaking LK parts, real lander

Also me : Have you experience a real soviet engineering ?

BEHOLD ! the LEK 1975

with Soyuz^TM inside the oignon fairing

I can't replicate it in KSP

Thought the RD 858 was possible in ksp :thonk: from RN soviet spacecraft.



Anyway, the one exhaust chamber looks nice also ! That perfect round shape is tasty !

Testing the new comrads Korobeale stuff.

Damn the envrionnement section is not going to appreciate that glorious junkyard on Mün...

For what I saw now the new LK is awesome! The dual color of white and green is neato I just ping some things : the LK engine is very powerful maybe a bit too much, and I thought, is it possible to add cargo section in the LK ? Maybe only one or two places but I think it could be cool for new DLC parts, I don't know if it would be time consuming or not ?

[[1.12.X] Tantares - Stockalike Soyuz and MIR [26.0][18.12.2023][Soyuz Revamp Again]]

I second @Well for the crème dessert color, it's far tastiest

Niiice I love the color scheme on your reference drawing. We clearly understand that is a one man lander it's so tiny ! I'm impatient to see your further work for this revamp <3

Love the soviet concept !! It would be amazing to have it for Viking <3

 

I agree with your roadmap idea, and spending love into small station, it would be a fine addition for an early techtree career ! Knes is love, Knes is life <3

Did someone say French station parts? Yes please!

Also good opportunity to practice more IVA's

@Well is more in-touch with station stuff, but we thought of the early Colombus station for Hermes or I thought of a one-man little space station like the Mercury-Lab^TM but for Viking !

Here is the Columbus MTFF station

With Hermes

I definitely think a detour to actually providing payloads for these would be welcome.

I agree to this point, giving us the Viking was awesome and as we discussed @Well I think station parts or vehicles we saw together could be a nice addition to those mighty launchers you gave to us <3

I actually work on a little Engine for Diamant, the Early French Cryogenic Engine H3.

Planned for Diamant Upper Stage (Diamant/Hydrogene = "Diogene") 0.625 scale

Lovely engine I love the multiple circle as a base for the engines !

[[1.12.3] Restock - Revamping KSP's art (Feb 25)]

New Dunian mission, using a bigger Spaceship "Icare 4" Spam incomming sorry...

The lander was launch right after the spaceship departure and docked after all the manoeuvers were done.

With a close approach of 11km above the surface, crew needs to dedocked the lander and wait for the final descent while the spaceship will automaticaly put itself in orbit.

Rodeo re-entry, the inflatable heatshield was welcome.

Aaand landed ! Ready for a 11 days mission on Duna !

The end of the mission in spoiler zone :

Spoiler

After 11 days the lander lift off ! And meets Icare 4.

The lander is ejected before return manoeuver begins

The first stage is finally jettisoned !

250 days later, the final approach, crew leave the spaceship and return home.

 

 

[[1.12.3] Restock - Revamping KSP's art (Feb 25)]

Combining Tantares, Restock and some Porkjet habitat for a flight to Duna ! Closest approach was 150 km ! The vessel is now heading to Kerbin
