There is the extra drogue which will also have a node, so you can still make the LK-700. Similar, but slightly different. Likely based on some of the same modules. The LK-700 was supposed to have these odd folding legs which I haven't found a substitute for in KSP, but most of the other parts are workable.

TK-313 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Checking out the LK-700 photos... Is it me or the sides of the dish on top actually fold when concealed under the LES? Because I see no other way for it to fit there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it folded up, its also possible (though less likely) that the dish folded down on the "back side" of the capsule or something.

Well, I seriously doubt it folded upward, because the photo shows the dish has a solid central part and segmented sides. To me, it looks much like they are the collapsible part of the dish, folding inwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobaltWolf Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 For anyone wondering, LK-1 came first, and they wound up reusing the capsule for LK-700 (with added landing windows) and TKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beale Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) The drogue chute has a 0.625m top node, by the way, it is an inline parachute exactly like the existing Soyuz, TKS parachutes. Edited April 6, 2018 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
