Ok, this sounds wild, but hear me out, Lunar Skylab, in this universe where skylab succeeds, would nasa loose funding? maybe they could drum up interest with skylab! maybe there would be a lunar gateway style skylab.
Lunar Skylab would be interesting but there’s only two Saturn Vs left (SA-514 and SA-515) meaning you have one to launch Moonlab and one to launch crew, you could have crew on the first one similar to Apollo Venus. They could also create more hardware and possibly a Saturn V with Shuttle derived hardware but that is costly. For this TL majority of the funding is in STS and Skylab for expansion

Skylab 3 / SLM-2 - June 28 - September 25 1973
After success with the saving of Skylab on Skylab 2, NASA moves ahead with the Skylab program many are hopeful of this new era in the space industry. The Skylab 3 crew will test the Astronaut Maneuvering Unit inside the workshop and the multiple experiments

After only a few days after launch the crew started to get hit with space sickness and became aware of a mysterious leak from one of the quad RCS thrusters on the Service Module. With this severity the rescue crew, Don Lind and Vance Brand started getting prepared for a launch in the Skylab Rescue Vehicle.
KSC started to move fast and rolled out the special Skylab Rescue Saturn IB to LC-39B and arranged it for launch in the coming days.
Ultimately these problems were fixed and the stack will be used for the upcoming Skylab mission.

Sorry for this being short, Skylab 3 and 4 are very boring to recreate so excuse the lower quality -
Was going to upload Skylab 3 today but my install broke :))))))

Love the mission! Thought I might add, it would be cool if one of the shuttles had something separating it from the rest like discovery's teardrop

@TruthfulGnome Just made the freestanding Saturn Base footings toggleable on/off, and the updated .mu and .cfg are on the master branch of the GitHub.
Also made that switch, the elevator switch and the mass switch operable in flight for use with the crawler.
Also made the default mass 2000t, with the switch to 1t for easier moving.
Shuttle freestanding footings will follow later.
Thank you so much!

recently I noticed that dark shadows from clouds and not much spoiled light of cities appeared on the Ground
You're using a separate visual mod so this page isn't the best but those are "cloud shadows" with messed up configs from whatever visual mode you're using
-
Could you make a toggleable switch with the Freestanding Pads to remove the legs?

This looks like a bunch of KSC Extended and other KK stuff which isn't supported

No reason it shouldn't just need KSPWheel

Not static it can be found in the description of this video
56 minutes ago, OrbitalManeuvers said:huh, am I misunderstanding what this mod is?
It says this is a fork. That means it's all of the Katniss files, plus TruthfulGnome's changes. So we shouldn't be installing this over top of the original Katniss version any more, right?
Looking at the Katniss folder "earthConfig" and this mod's "Patches" folder ... they contain pretty much the same patches, so it seems like you wouldn't want to have both.
Unless it's Confused Thursday, which is always possible.
No replacing files anymore, just a straight download and install

@TruthfulGnome Thank you for the upgrade. It looks great, and the install seems easier than it used to be.
I found problems launching planes. Are these bugs or installation errors?
-
The KSC Runway spawn point seems to be underneath the VAB.
- On launch my plane tried to relocate itself to the VAB roof, some parts exploded.
- Workaround: Deploy plane from one of the KK helipads. I used Hyperedit to get to the runway because there's no collider to drive on from the helipad to runway. The lack of collider is understandable and I'm not really asking about that, just noting it.
- Ground scatter appears on the runway. Can that be stopped without turning off all scatter in-game?
- Spawning at runways 09 and 27 put me on or next to mountains in California, not easy to takeoff in such situations.

Thanks for telling me thing I will try to fix this when I have the time

This looks really good, but are we getting other pads like SLC-05/06 and SLC-36A/B?
All of those are in here!
5 hours ago, kerbalboi said:so how did that shot with a saturn IB work, adjustable vab doors? and how did you get a move able mobile launcher
Used vessel mover to put it next to the VAB, if you click above the panelling the doors will open

Will the ISS come into play in some way? I know this is meant about skylab, but with it succeeding in this alternate history I'd assume it would have some effect on the development of the ISS.
Yes most likely but that’s far down the road right now, I do have rough ideas on what would change with Freedom/ISS

Conrad and Weitz argue for 17 minutes causing the media stations to mute the broadcast
The Solar Wing is now free
After being flung back the crew makes their way back into the workshop after fixing her wing
The crew opens the ATMs cameras.

So i spot the missing solar panel has the attachment on it, so guess custom modification or ?
If you deploy the wing during flight it breaks and looks like that

Skylab 2 / SLM-1 - May 25 1973.
Part 1
We Fix Anything.
After the launch of Skylab NASA began noticing a lot of system issues mainly thermal heating that caused toxic materials in the station and solar loss however after days of hard work it was determined that during Max Q air got inside of the micrometeoroid shield completely shredding it while damaging Solar Wing 1 and jamming Solar Wing 2, Solar Wing 1 was torn off after the ullage motors on the S-II fired and Solar Wing 1 was deployed at only 10°. This left many hopeless with the Skylab space station as it was an extremely costly station but in the light of things Jack Kinzler (Named Mr. Fix It by NASA) created the genius Parasol that would be deployed through the Scientific Airlock and would drop Skylab's temperatures to a sustainable amount.
Skylab 2 awaits for it's historical servicing mission.
T-3.1 Seconds engine startup sequence.
We have launch commit and liftoff!
Skylab 2 has cleared the tower!
Pete Conrad: Houston - Skylab 2! We fix anything! we got a pitch and roll program. Boy is that a smooth ride!
Mark 45 seconds cabin pressure adjusting from sea level to space environment.
CAPCOM: Hello Houston you are feet wet! roger feet wet!
You are go for staging! Center engine shutdown!
Staging! We got an S-IVB light!
Tower jettison.
Correction burn.
We got her in daylight.
Okay Houston, the meteoroid shield area is solid gold!.
Pete Conrad: A brief description is it's suspected Solar Wing- two right? two is gone, completely off the bird. Solar wing one is in fact partially deployed and the reason you've got different readings that symmetric between three solar panels and there's a bulge of meteorite shield underneath it in the middle and it looks to be holding it down.
Pete Conrad: Now I get that our easiest thing to do is to just go to the end and try to deploy it.
Soft docking for small rest and eating.
Undock to position the CSM next to the solar wing.
Weitz performing an EVA to attempt to free the jammed solar wing.
Skylab 2 docks back to Skylab after an unsuccessful attempt.
After multiple failed hard dock attempts they finally succeeded in a hard dock attempt and entered the station
After entering, the crew deployed the Parasol through the Scientific Airlock
Skylab with its new shield deployed
That is all for Part 1, I didn't realize how long these missions would be

Skylab 1 - Part 2
"Crippled Station"
Skylab flips to 90° for direct alignment with the Sun.
ATM deployment
ATM deploys her wings
Skylab flips to a 45° angle instead of 90° for better thermal controls.
Goodnight Skylab.
After multiple anomalies and issues with the launch of Skylab NASA has delayed Skylab 2 until a solution for saving the crippled station with its solar panel deployment and thermal issues can be resolved, until then Skylab will remain in orbit with a 45° angle for better thermals instead of the originally desired 90° angle for solar generation.Sorry folks for taking so long, it has been a super busy week I will try to get Skylab 2 done for next week -
Sorry folks I've been busy, part 2 will be up either tomorrow or Thursday!

After hard work since 1968 Skylab which was originally named Orbital Workshop (OWS) is finally ready to soar the skies, it is a historical day for NASA and the United States as it marks the last launch of the Saturn V, the first launch of an American space station, and the largest spacecraft ever built. Mans dreams long stays in space are about to become true.
