Test Mission report: Objective: Orbit the Mun with 4 Kerbonauts on PTK NP Launcher: RIVER 5 (Angara 5) with additional cryogenic upper stage KVTK successfull takoff free flight after MUN transfer burn ready to start return brun after 5 full MUN orbit circulations reentry complete, heatshield is gone, drogue chute open at 9000 m. Ready to open the main parachute and extend the landing legs cut droguechute at 2500 m and open the 3 main parachutes at 2000 m. PTK NP safely lands with 5 m/s in the desert of Kerbistanian

Update for PTK NP New Solar Panels and working (animated) Landing Legs

New modern Dockingport without mechanical catch parts for spaceships with soft docking potential

Rework and update for FEDERAZIJA PTK NP Based on actual blueprints contares builds a new version of PTK NP optimized for Kerbonauts. The new version holds 4 Kerbals up to 30 days in space. The shown service module is only for low orbit operations.

The meaning of the long Polyus module consisted in several main tasks. First, there was no laser cannon but a laser target illumination and aiming system. Furthermore there were glare lasers. Secondly, the radial cylinders contained test bodies which were to be ejected with different vectors without recoil and captured with the target system. Thirdly, Polyus is said to have had a system for the delivery of nuclear re-entry bodies (MOBS), the statement is doubtful, especially since a permanent stationing of nuclear weapons in orbit was and is prohibited by treaties. On the other hand, Polyus could potentially be used for this task due to its size alone. Fourthly, Polyus is said to have been equipped with various self-protection devices, such as space mines and a recoilless machine gun and active radar. Polyus itself only had stabilization and attitude control systems and two compact RCS blocks. The two main engines of the FGB were to be used to finalize the orbit and to modify the orbit.

That's right, it works perfectly. Pump, combustion chamber and "accessories" differ only minimally.

WIP: New space station parts. Different colors and types of modules planed. early preview of the habitat module. WIP: BLOCK-L 3rd stage for Molnija launcher

WIP: new HM-7b engine for Ariane 1 to 4 (ALIYANA)

CSA ANATIS (Cygnus) support spacecraft. There are 4 Parts - service module - bottom cap - top cap - storage module (two on the picture)

A look into an alternative past, implemented for KSP: First start of a manned mission of the MEU. The launch vehicle used is an ALIYANA 44 first stage with 4 radial liquid fuel boosters. The second stage is a further development of the EUROYANA 3 second stage. The three-seater EUF-1 is used as a spaceship. The flight leads into a 52° inclined low orbit to initiate a rendezvous with the RUS-KIR space station.

Based on the images of the "new" moon landing device circulating on the net, CSA Contares has created a Kerbal-compatible variant. The realization of an elevator is still under discussion. So far the lander consists of 5 main components: - Crew Module holds 3 Kerbals - Storage and Service Module holds RCS-Propellant, Supplies (TACLS), Waterpurifer, Carbonextractor and a Monoprop-Fuelcell - Tank-Module (KSP Standard L/O) - Ladder (4.5m long) - Engine with 4 Nozzles and ~50 kN Landing Legs in progress. Full loaded, the Lander has a dV of 1930 m/s Udate: 2019-02-09: Parts are available on GitHub

We recommend the use of type C-SPPT-2.

That's right!

Nice that you took a look at my mod's and even stuck to it As you might have seen, there are this docking ports with and without AirLock function. The reason for the creation was the fact that some return systems like Soyuz and Shenzou don't have a side hatch. An exit through the docking port was not possible because of the collision body. An exit would only be possible via a multiple split, ring-shaped collision bodies have been possible. That was too expensive for me at the time of its creation and I chose a simpler way: The invisible collision body is deformed by means of animation and thus the "exit" through the hatch is made possible. So there is, as correctly observed, no visible animation. (There is also a small drawback, in Airlock mode it is not possible to dock to another port.) Later created docking ports have a ring-shaped collision body consisting of 8 or even 12 parts.

It is really easy to answer the question why CST-100 does not have solar panels around the rounding of the orbital module: The solar panels would be exposed to strong aerodynamic forces during launch, which would require heavier, protected panels. In addition, radial mounting has several disadvantages. At least 50% of the solar panels, even with optimal positioning, would be ballast because not facing the sun. The irradiation angle would also result in 50% of the solar irradiated area being able to provide less than 50% of the rated power.

According to the more than poor information about Boeing's CST-100, a solar system is planned at the rear of the orbital module, but is to be installed for mission reasons. For CSA Contares NAM CST-101 i recommend the use of square radial solar panels (CSA Contares CORE) in a cross-shaped arrangement of 5 elements.

GitHub (see OP) is updated. Small set of Craft-Files are included. There is no official update to 1.6.x but i hope you will give me response to finish the work for update.

First ingame screenshot from Crew Transport System (CTS) - Commad Module (Capsule) holds up to 5 Khibonauts with integrated RCS-System, Light and TAC-LS supplies for 24 days. - Placeholder IVA - droppable heatshield - Decoupler with service line - Service Module with integrated radiators, RCS backup engines and 4 main rocket engines, integrated TAC-LS (Carbon Extractor and Water Purifier). Also integrated a monoprop fuel cell. With parachutes, docking port, solar panels and com-dish round about 14 tonns. Ready to launch with KHI-5 (CZ-5) with 2 boosters for kerbal orbital missions.

Yeah, I got a little lost in the lyrics. However, I find that the lower nozzle section of the LR-91-AJ5/7 is completely wrongly dimensioned. Maybe this is also a viewing problem from an unfavourable perspective. Here is a link to N. Brügge and corresponding photos.

Including a good portion of "creative freedoms", a model was created based on the little information about the planned Chinese spaceship, which will be published as part of the update to the current KSP version 1.6. Further information is available under the attached link. Details from N. Brügge (www.b14643.de)

I like the overall concept but the nozzle of the LR91-AJ 3 is definitely an inverted wine cup and not a nozzle. On the part you must probably work again please.
