  1. Skylab 10 | SLM-9 | TRS-3 | STS-12| - December 17 - 24, 1983 Ending the year with the start of Reuse Phase 3 and the anticipated higher flight rate of 1984 and beyond has many excited about the future of Skylab and the STS program. Today, STS-12 will conduct ATM solar inspections, an EVA to retract the two forward ATM (Apollo Telescope Mount) solar panels which allows clearance for PM deployment on Skylab 11 which is scheduled for launch in February 1984, TRS-3 stow for docking with PM, and system checkouts for future kit installations. Crew: Commander: Robert Crippen Pilot: Francis R. Scobee Mission specialist 1:Terry Hard Mission Specialist 2: Richard Mullane Payload Specialist 1: George Nelson Orbiter: OV-102 | Columbia Launch Pad: LC-39A Coming up on the 30 second mark.

  2. Skylab 9 | SLM-8 | STS-9 | Spacelab-1 - August 23 - 31, 1983 Crew: Commander: John Young Pilot: Robert Gibson Mission Specialist 1 Robert L. Stewart Mission Specialist 2: Owen Garriott Payload Specialist 1: Ulf Merbold Payload Specialist 2: Bryon K. Lichtenberg Orbiter: OV-102 | Columbia Launch pad: LC-39A Columbia is set to start her first normal scheduled stay at Skylab and the final mission of Skylab Reuse Phase 2 with Phase 3 beginning in 1984. During this historical mission, the Columbia crew will carry out Spacelab experiments, three EVAs if possible, ATM solar inspection for the upcoming crew of Skylab 10, and evaluate compatibility with Skylab for the future module planned in Phase 3. Additionally, this will also be the first flight of an ESA astronaut and the reusable laboratory Spacelab which will mark a significant boost in the European space sector. Sadly, this will be John Young's final spaceflight, a true legendary pioneer in our space program. Crew arm retract Go for main engine start Liftoff of STS-9!

Columbia is home. this was supposed to be posted days ago just thought it was quite boring and put it off for a bit, but I am fine with it now and I hope you guys like it!
  3. Skylab 8 | SLM-7 | STS-6 - June 7 - 12, 1982 Back To Back Crew Commander: Paul J. Weitz Pilot: Rober F. Overmyer Mission Specialist 1: Joseph P. Allen Mission Specialist 2: Norman Thagard Orbiter: OV-099 | Challenger Today, Challenger the sister Orbiter to Columbia is ready for her maiden flight and a back to back Skylab mission, a first since the Apollo days. STS-6 will consist of two main goals with one to deploy TDRS-1 (Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System) which will provide future constant communications with Skylab to NASA compared to the current short communication system that depends on the location of the Orbiter. The second goal will be to deploy SPPT (Solar Panel Prototype) which is a solar panel testbed for the future Power Module built by Lockheed which is nearing completion with launch slated for 1984. Even with the modifications done on Challenger there have been talks stirring up about the possibility to stop painting the External Tank to help with weight reduction after STS-6. Challenger awaiting launch Crew arm retract T-35 Seconds and counting T-10 Liftoff of STS-6! Roger roll Challenger! 25 seconds, roll maneuverer complete Go at throttle up!

  4. Happens to have the same name, this alt history had a different name before and zero inspiration from David
  5. V1.0 is for older KSRSS which is why it isn't supported. the master branch is for KSRSS Reborn
  6. No this thread isn't dead just planning out a lot of things for later down the line, will try and get some posts up
  7. No. The master branch is for Reborn (GitLab) and the release version is for older KSRSS.
  8. Truly incredible mod, will go down as one of best mods for KSP1!
