Heinkels Soviet Inspired Lunar Projects

[He_162]

Repository for all of my new VAB builds upcoming in the following months

Information on lifters, and the lunar station is below.

 

In development:

-NK-1 orbital refueling station around the mun (N3 rocket will launch parts)

-Reusable first stages

 

To do list: (Link will be under them if they are complete)

-Soviet style interplanetary craft

Lunar Landers:

More landers soon(TM)

-Reusable first and second stages

-N9 rocket (Largest soviet style rocket I'll ever consider building)

REUSABLE LIFTER INFORMATION

N3 lifter will be modified with each launch to be capable of launching the cargo with the precise amount of fuel for non wasteful launches, and reusability of the first stage after each launch. (if it survives, it will be reused, if not it will be upgraded)

N3-L1 (Lunar HUB module) - failed to land first stage

N3-L2 (Lunar Solar Array) - First stage collapsed upon impact with water

N3-L3 (Kerbal HUB Module) - Half recovered, fell over due to bumpy landing space

https://kerbalx.com/He_162/N3-l3

N3-L4 (Docking Station) - Half recovered, landing in water is fatal

https://kerbalx.com/He_162/N3-l4

N3-L5 (Crew Launched via Soyuz into LOS-1) - 75% recovered, landing gear burnt in re-entry

N3-L6 (Science lab) - 75% recovered, landing in water is less fatal than thought

N3-L2 has fired, and failed to land safely, however it's cargo is now docked to the LOS-1.

[He_162]

N3-L3 has fired, and failed to land safely, it's cargo the crew module is now attached to the LOS-1.

 

A crew will be sent up shortly after the docking arm has been attached (keeps docking vehicles further from vital solar panels)

[He_162]

Crew is onboard, and a current status picture will be placed for each launch showing what is going on with the LOS-1 station, development will now focus on improving the N3 reusable first stage, and making it much easier to land.

[He_162]

spaceplane dock, and refinery are being postponed due to work on the N9 modular rocket.

 

The station is essentially complete, besides the refinery, mining rig, and spaceplane dock.

 

N9 modular rocket is simply an N1 style rocket capable of going to EVE and DUNA.
