@benjee10, Any chance we'll see a sun-kissed APAS in B10Sharedassets like the one shown here?

Would be awesome to see some more clean-pad options with minimal towers or GSE- could definitely be done! Can definitely send them over to you! I’ll PM you a link to the files and the .cfg sometime here soon when I’ve got some free time- probably tomorrow morning. The animation I gave to the lights is directly copied from LC-19 in the .cfg because I wasn’t sure how else to do it, but it works anyways tho.

UNITED LAUNCH ALLIANCE PRESS RELEASE (2024-06-23) LAST UPDATED AT PUBLICATION Mission Success! Delta IV Delivers the Eutelsat W1 Spacecraft to Geosynchronous orbit for Eutelsat S.A. A United Launch Alliance Delta IV Medium (4,2) Rocket lifted off from Space Launch Complex 39B at John F. Kennedy Space Center, Florida yesterday (June 22nd, 2024) at 4:25 PM Eastern Standard Time (0825 Zulu,) carrying Eutelsat W1, a Geosynchronous telecommunications satellite, for Eutelsat S.A. of Paris, France. Eutelsat W1 is the first satellite in a series of five new telecommunications satellites built by Alcatel Space for Eutelsat S.A. Of Paris, France. The new W-Series satellites are designed to provide telecommunications services primarily over Europe (Eutelsat W1, W2, and W5) and telecommunications services over Russia and Africa (W3 and W4). All of the W-Series Satellites are planned to be launched by Delta IV Medium (4,2) Rockets from Florida’s Space Coast. The Delta IV’s Delta Cryogenic Second Stage (DCSS) Successfully Delivered Eutelsat W1 to its target Geosynchronous Orbit at 11:59:17 PM Eastern Standard Time- approximately 7 hours, 33 minutes, and 52 seconds after launch, separating from the ULA-provided payload adapter. Orbital insertion was determined to be a “Bullseye,” meaning that Eutelsat W1 was in a near geosynchronous orbit over eastern Europe. This mission was the eleventh Delta IV Rocket to be flown since its inaugural launch in 2020 and the fourth Delta IV Medium (4,2). It was also the first Delta IV Rocket to be flown for a fully commercial (non-government) customer under contract with Boeing Commercial Launch Services. There was no mission dedication for yesterday's launch, per customer request. (As always, this is a work of fiction.) The payload and interstage artwork can be seen below.

@Damon@zakkpaz I've been tinkering with this mod quite a bit in Blender and what you speak of is definitely possible, but I wouldn't be able to release the files to the public due to the mod's license. If you've seen my previous post where I was asking for floodlights, I'm happy to report that I've pruned those from a few of the pads and customized them! If Damon would like to include them, I would be happy to send them over. Pruning the towers off of the pads is easy, it's just a matter of if you are willing to learn blender, or if Damon would allow me to release the edited models of his.

Thank you so much!

@Lisias Facing a problem here. Upon Load, KSP keeps telling me that I have multiple different 999_Ksp_Redist files but I only have one, and I've checked. Is this a known issue? I just updated my Tweakscale to the latest version.

I second this 100%.

NASA Blogs Release Unity Module (Node 1/ISS-2A) Arrives at Station Images from the docking camera inside PMA-1 present a clearer picture of the final moments before docking. The 12.8 ton Unity Module arrived at the International Space Station at 10:38:24 a.m. EST, propelled by a European Service Module. The duo docked to the Zarya module on the formerly Space-Facing forward side of the To-be Russian segment two days after lifting off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard a Delta IV Heavy rocket on Saturday, May 25 at 8:55 pm EST (7:55 p.m. Central time). The spacecraft were flying about 260 miles over northeastern Australia at the time of docking. Unity (also known as Node 1) is a six-sided aluminum connecting passageway to the living and work areas of the International Space Station. It is the first major U.S.-built component of the station. Unity was built for NASA by Boeing in a manufacturing facility at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and the European Service Module that Propelled Unity during the rendezvous and docking was built in Bremen, Germany at Airbus Defence and Space. The European Service Module spacecraft that guided Unity to the station will remain in place until tomorrow morning at 9:05 a.m. EST, when it will be undocked and de-orbited, ending its mission.

UNITED LAUNCH ALLIANCE PRESS RELEASE (2024-05-25) LAST UPDATED AT PUBLICATION Mission Success! Delta IV Heavy Delivers the Unity Module (Node 1, ISS-2A) to orbit for NASA A United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy Rocket lifted off from Space Launch Complex 39B at John F. Kennedy Space Center in Florida tonight (May 25th, 2024) at 8:55 PM Eastern Standard Time (1255 Zulu,) carrying the Unity Module (Node 1/ISS-2A,) Which is the first American element of the International Space Station. Unity (also known as Node 1) is a six-sided aluminum connecting passageway to the living and work areas of the International Space Station. It is the first major U.S.-built component of the station and will be delivered by a European-built Service Module derived from the Orion MPCV. The European Service Module will dock Unity with Zarya, then separate and De-Orbit itself a day after arrival. Unity was built for NASA by Boeing in a manufacturing facility at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and the European Service Module was built in Bremen, Germany at Airbus Defence and Space. Delta IV Successfully Delivered Unity and the ESM to their target orbit of 51.6 Degrees and 140 Kilometers in altitude at 9:04:50 PM Eastern Standard Time- approximately 9 minutes and 50 seconds after launch, separating from the Boeing-built Launch Vehicle Payload Adapter (LVPA) and sending the Unity-ESM Stack on a rendezvous trajectory with the International Space Station, where docking of Unity to the forward-facing port of Zarya is currently planned for the morning of May 27th, 2024. At 9:20 PM Eastern Standard Time, activation of the European Service Module’s systems began, with flight controllers in Houston, Texas transmitting commands to the ESM via the NASA TDRS network to activate the Module’s propulsion and guidance systems. This mission was the first Delta IV Heavy to be launched since February 3rd, 2021 from Space Launch Complex 39B. Pad 39B Has been under renovation since 2021 due to needed upgrades to support NASA’s Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) Launches on Delta IV Heavy. This mission was also the second Delta IV Rocket to fly with an ISS Operations Upper Stage (IOUS.) Derived from existing Delta Cryogenic Second Stage technology, the IOUS employs two RS-73/MARC-60 engines, provides around 4.8 times more thrust than the current Single-engine RL-10 powered DCSS, and will be used for all ISS assembly flights. Tonight's launch marked the Tenth Delta IV Rocket to be flown since its inaugural launch in 2020 and the Third Delta IV Heavy Rocket to fly. Also, The Delta IV Heavy to fly this mission, DV-006- was the oldest unflown Delta IV Rocket in the ULA inventory, being manufactured in 2019. Honoring a pioneer and icon- George W.S. Abbey George W.S. Abbey served as director of Johnson Space Center until 2001, served as an integral part of the NASA Shuttle-Mir Program, and provided crucial oversight, management, and guidance in the first phase of the International Space Station.
