KSC: The @TruthfulGnome "KatnisssCapeCanaveral for KSRSS v1.0" looks amazing with its aerial decal and offers multiple pads. Its main limitation is the lack of collider so ground vehicles fall through the visual surface; it's a tolerable issue in exchange for the views. This mod might need adjusting after the change from 2.5x to 2.7x scale.
Yes once reborn is fully stable I will update configs for it with a modern and retro style, other pads will be updated to fit realism ,and colliders are only and issue at the SLF but I will figure out a fix for it.

13. Colomb-Bechar and Hammaguir for early French launches.
14. SpaceX droneship statics near Vandenburg and Cape Canaveral, for obvious reasons.
Edwards and Vandenburg are on my list to get working

Another great installment! Must be difficult doing all that docking!
It took a few hours.. not easy with all the rotations and controls

Skylab 7 | SLM-6 | STS-5 - February 8 - 13, 1982
Crew:
Ken Mattingly
William Lenoir
Story Musgrave
Vance Brand
Shuttle:
Columbia
After completing the test flight phase of STS, Columbia is ready to conduct her first operational mission consisting of launch/rendezvous to Skylab for remote control of TRS-1 to grab the Multiple Docking Interface Module (MDIM) and attach it to Skylab granting the ability for Columbia to dock with the Workshop. This will be Columbia's second visit to the station and the first crew inside of Skylab since 1974. The MDIM built by McDonnell Douglas includes 5 APAS-75s that were originally used on ASTP (Apollo Soyuz Test Project) and an Apollo Probe for attachment to Skylab, the "front" APAS-75 will be used for Orbiter dockings and future modules if needed, the side APAS-75s will be used for other spacecraft and the planned Spacelab modules by the European Space Agency. After the crew docks to Skylab they will have a rest period before entering the Workshop, once prepared the crew will start to install new kits and supplies into the Workshop they will also remove older kits that are no longer needed, Skylab 9 will install the last remaining kits and new showers for women. This will also be the final mission for TRS-1 which has been a historical success with the possibility of more to come as plans raise at NASA for more orders of the TRS spacecrafts due to some Astronauts deeming Canadarm too risky for the future modules.

What are the differences between KSRSS 0.7 and KSRSS-Reborn(latest pre-release)?
Reborn has Less bloat, is actually optimized, and offers better visuals

When I have any of the 2 latest versions of scatterer installed, I have atmospheres every where else but not on mars. If I use anything earlier, I only get an atmosphere on mars. I also dont have Sigma Dimensions installed.
KSRSS only supports 0.07XXX Scatterer. Try out KSSRS Reborn if your want to use 0.8XXX Scatterer

Could we get a version of the 40/41 pads without the lightning tower?

Skylab 6 | SLM-5 | STS-2 - January 6 - 12
P: Richard Harrison Truly | C: Joe Henry Engle
After the successful Reboost of Skylab and successful flight of STS-1, Columbia is ready to fly again and start Phase 2 of the Skylab Reuse Program operations. Phase 2 will consist of exterior inspections, interior inspections, attachment of Multiple Docking Interface Module (MDIM), installation of kits, removal of kits, refueling of the TACS System on Skylab, system checkouts, and the stripping of unnecessary hardware. Since the Canadarm from the Canadian Space Agency wont be ready for testing until STS-3 this mission will not fly with it.
After achieving orbit STS-2 will carry out science experiments for 4 days before rendezvousing with Skylab to perform a fly around inspection of Skylab looking for any possible damage, after the inspection is completed the Columbia crew will control the TRS-1 spacecraft and undock it for remote testing then execute a docking procedure with the payload bay for future launch profiles, afterwards Columbia will attempt docking procedures with Skylab in preparation for STS-5.

Skylab 5 | SLM-4 | TRS-1 - April 6, 1979
Resurrection
After NASA scientists and engineers scrambled for the past four years on ways to conduct a reboost mission to Skylab, they finalized their ideas on using the spacecraft named TRS "Teleoperator Retrieval System” however, after multiple delays of the Space Shuttle, TRS could not be launched on the Orbiter for a mission to Skylab forcing NASA to speed up development of TRS while leaving a very small launch window with a launch on the modified Titan IIIC-D.
This has left us today with the launch of Skylab 5, a scary launch as if not successful Skylab will have no way of being saved however, if successful the TRS will remain in Skylab orbit while NASA tests the RCS systems before the rendezvous burn, after systems are clear TRS will rendezvous with Skylab for docking and boost it afterwards.
After Skylab completed its on orbit reactivation and reorientation, Titan III C-D is clear for launch tomorrow.

And with that Skylab has been saved and will be visited in the coming years. -

Could skylab be folded up to fit in the space shuttle cargo bay for refurbishment, or being brought back to earth? I feel like if you could bring it down and refurbish it on the ground you could do a lot more than orbital repairs.
Way too big for that and would be risky to land with and launch if it could fit
-
The upcoming Reboost of Skylab mission "Skylab 5" which was originally planned to launch on the Shuttle but due to the Shuttle not being ready until 1980 and the expected deorbit of Skylab in 1979 the TRS will have to launch on a modified Titan III-D (Titan III-C-D for Cape use) in an extremely tight launch window of just 3 months.
After this mission is complete NASA recommends that the TACS nitrogen on Skylab to be at least partially refilled during the first or second refurbishment mission, so Skylab can be stabilized without TRS for later dockings.
In other news, LC-39A is nearing completion of conversion for Shuttle use.

Skylab 4 / SLM-3 - November 16, 1973 - February 8 ,1974
End of a Dream
Skylab 4 being the third manned mission to Skylab and possibly final with the cancellation of SLM-4, has the public worried about the future of the space program. Skylab 4 will conduct many experiments mainly being medical and earth observations, it will be the longest manned mission in history with the goal of 84 days. With the backup astronauts (Vance Brand, William Lenoir, Don Lind.) being disappointed in not being able to see Skylab from the CSM, they're hopeful in the success in the longer duration mission.
Using the same booster from Skylab Rescue, Skylab 4 is rolled out from the VAB.
