I'm using KSRSS at 2.5x stock scale.

Looks awesome! Can’t wait to take some pretty screenshots!

Mir has an American visitor!

STS-71 June 27, 1995 STS-71 was the first Space Shuttle Mission to dock with the Russian Mir space station as well as the 100th crewed launch of the United States Space Programs. Space Shuttle Atlantis would launch in the afternoon from Pad 39 A. STS-71 was the first mission to dock with a space station. At the time, they formed the largest object in space. STS-71 also carried two cosmonauts (Anatoly Solovyev & Nikolai Budarin) to Mir and brought back 2 cosmonauts and an astronaut (Gennady Strekalov Vladimir Dezhurov & Norman Thagard). Atlantis would dock to the Kristall module of Mir which had 2 APAS-89 docking ports meant for the Buran. After 9 days and 19 hours in orbit, Atlantis would finish her mission and lander her 3 new passengers at SLF Runway 15 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. She would then be refurbished and fly again to Mir as STS-74. I'm testing out some new TUFX configs. I really like them so far. I could not pass up one R E D External Tank though. I'll be doing more Mir missions in the near future but I also am going to do a mission that never happened at some point soon! But until then I hope you're enjoying the series!

Oh my gosh. This is AWESOME! I can't wait to use these. Thank you for cranking out all these awesome mods!

A kerbal rocking the EMU on an EVA. Fantastic mod!

STS-63 February 3, 1995 STS-63 also known as the Near Mir mission and was the second mission of the Shuttle-Mir program and was the first mission where The Space Shuttle would rendezvous with Mir. STS-63 also featured the first female pilot of The Shuttle, Eileen Collins. Flown by Discovery, the objective was to test processes for the following Shuttle-Mir mission, STS-71 where a Shuttle would actually dock with Mir. In addition the Spartan 204 satellite would be deployed and recaptured by Discovery to observe the 'Shuttle Glow' phenomenon. Space Shuttle Discovery would launch from Pad 39 B in the early morning of February 3rd. After Discovery's 8 day mission, She landed a Kennedy Space Center at Runway 15 of the Shuttle Landing Facility. The next Shuttle Mission to Mir Atlantis would dock to Kristall . Discovery would next fly STS-70 deploying TDRS-G. I took a while with this one... I first decided to update from KSP 1.8.1 to 1.11.2, which had a ton of problems I didn't foresee, then I decided that It would be fun to continue the series in a science mode save I had been playing along side this. This resulted in me building Mir manually and rushing to unlock the STS parts. Though the posting rate suffered I had a lot of fun doing it. Also I'd like to point out the AMAZING suits used on the EVA. Those are from @benjee10's fantastic new suit mod! The EMU looks fantastic as well as the Shuttle Pumpkin Suits! Highly recommend you check it out! Hopefully I can make more surrounding Shuttle-Mir since I've built it. Expect more at some point in the near future!

I’ve been following this mods development for a little while. It looks beautiful! Can’t wait to try it out!

Your work never fails to impress! This looks BEAUTIFUL!! Keep up the fantastic work!

Custom Made! Using TweakScale, the Breaking Ground DLC the Making History Tiles and Loads of Autostrut. This unfortunately may not be able to be used again until TweakScale is updated to 1.11.2. I don't want to risk the save being bricked. But I would rather loose a pretty thing than the whole save so it is what it is.

STS-6 April 4, 1983 STS-6 was debut flight of Space Shuttle Challenger, and the first to carry an Inertial Upper Stage. STS-6 Carried TDRS-1, the first of the Tracking and Data Relay Satellites. STS-6 also was the final four person crew of the program until STS-135. STS-6 was also the first Space Shuttle mission to perform an EVA which saw the first use of the Extravehicular Mobility Unit or EMU . Though deployed from Challenger without Issue, TDRS-1 was sent to a low elliptical orbit after it's IUS lost control while burning for a GTO. After expending fuel from the satellite it was eventually placed into a geosynchronous orbit. After her mission, Challenger would land at Edwards Runway 22. Spending 5 days 23 minutes in orbit 4 hours 17 minutes of which were spend during the first Space Shuttle EVA. Challenger would be flown back to Kennedy for refurbishment and a relaunched as STS-7.

STS-9 November 28, 1983 STS-9 was the first mission to carry the first foreign astronaut to space on via The Shuttle Ulf Merbold and the first mission to use the Spacelab laboratory module. Launching from Pad 39 A this would be the sixth launch of Colombia. After conducting her 10 day mission, Columbia returned to Earth landing at Runway 17 at Edwards Airforce Base. Columbia would then be temporarily removed from service to be renovated. STS-41-B would follow. I hope you guys are enjoying the series! I've been having a lot of fun making it so far. I hope to crank these out at least twice a week, but I am at the mercy of my school workload.

STS-1 April 12 1981 The maiden Space Shuttle launch is a fitting place to start for the series. Launching from Pad 39 A, Space Shuttle Columbia would have the honor of flying the first orbital shuttle mission. Onboard were Astronauts John Young and Robert Crippen. STS-1 Lifted off at 12:00 UTC (7:00 am Eastern) and would stay in orbit for two days. After landing at Edwards Airforce Base completing a successful first flight consisting of validating The Space Shuttle and her systems, Colombia would be flown to Kennedy Space Center, refurbished, and would fly again as STS-2.

The Idea: Like many others I love The Space Shuttle, mods and Kerbal Space Program, what else could you do but mix all 3 ? That's what I'm doing. A while ago on the subreddit, I did something similar surrounding the ISS. I want to continue that but also expand into other reality based and fictional shuttle missions, adventures if you will. The goal of this whole thing is to use Kerbal Space Program and a large amount of fantastic mods from this community to give everyone a unique vantage point of The Space Shuttle, her missions, their payloads, and hopefully enjoy the wonders and beauty of space and space exploration. My Inspiration: The idea behind this is not original by any means and I feel it is necessary to credit those who inspired me, and if you like what I do, you'll certainly like what they've done. @Jay The Amazing Toaster And his Kānāwai: Ares to Mars Kevin Gustafson and his amazing among other things ISS & Mir documentaries on Youtube @winged and his amazing among other things amazing Constellation Mars video @Zorg @alberro+and @Pioneer_Stevefor dazzling me with their magnificent screenshots @AmateurAstronaut1969 and their fantastic series on the ETS Space Station Freedom @Jacktical and their awesome series on the IRL concept of Space Station Freedom that goes by the name of Space Station Liberty @D0m1nu2 and their excellent International Manned Laboratory series, a recreation of International Skylab conducted in RSS! @Aviation365 and their wonderful series Go At Throttle Up, an RSS/RO depiction of Shuttle Flight both real and fictional while obeying Shuttle parameters. Myself, @lemon cup, and @D0m1nu2’s Sister Series, ISS Adventures, an in order recreation of the history of The International Space Station. You can find that here: Mods: Like some, I get very carried away with mods. It gets out of hand very quickly... below is a list of highlights and under the spoiler will be the entire list. @benjee10With Redirect, SOCK, and Habtech2 @DylanSemrau With Photon Corp @Beale With Tantares @tony48With KSRSS And the ReStock team with of course Restock. Thanks to those who submit missions, and to those who read and interact with this project! Shuttle Adventures has gotten really far and I'm happy to be a small part of it!

Beautiful!

Very excited to use this mod, it looks fantastic! Have you considered making models and parts for the Copernicus, Kepler and Asimov Mars Transfer Vehicles? I feel like they’d fit with this mod quite well but I completely understand if you’d chosen not to make them.

This mod is fantastic! Amazing work!

This is one of the most wonderful threads ever! The time and care you are putting in to those images are astounding! I really appreciate it!

Beautiful pictures! Excited to use the mod! Where do you put the 43k cloud files?
