We goin

baxter voyage recreation, here we come

The new Orion mod is cool and all, but the CM decoupler doesn't work.

my guy really pulled an FAM S2

If it isn't already in the works, could we get a 90-degree fold style for the EOSS panels?

Update: This timeline has moved to the r/KSP discord server, where I will periodically update things in the #pics channel. This thread is now closed.

Thanks

The Enduring Station, Part 1: Revival (images are spoilered bc they are massive) Chapter 1, Post 1 of 2: March 31, 1974 Skylab 5 is rolled out to LC-39A ahead of an April 7 launch date for a 20-day mission to reboost the Orbital Workshop and perform some science experiments. This mission uses Saturn IB SA-209 and Apollo CSM-119 (which had previously been converted for the never-flown Skylab Rescue mission) and marks the only launch of a Saturn IB from 39A, as well as the last visit to Skylab by an Apollo CSM. Its crew consisted of three rookies, commander Vance D. Brand, pilot Don Lind and science pilot William B. “Bill” Lenoir. April 7, 1974: Launch Day for Skylab 5 Ignition of the 8 H-1 engines on Saturn IB and liftoff T+155 seconds: S-IB sep and S-IVB ignition T+ 635 seconds: S-IVB cutoff and CSM separation 1 day later... April 8, 1974 Skylab 5 approaches the derelict OWS and prepares to dock. "Looks like the repairs have held up." "Yeah, but she's lost attitude control. Probably an electrical issue that can be fixed." "Docking confirmed." A mere hour after docking, Brand goes on a solo EVA to attempt to repair the failed attitude control system. "Well, there's your problem. That connector shouldn't be loose." Addendum: Reboost and return are in Post 2 of 2.

Ok so, this is my first topic, and first attempt at doing an alternate history. I decided to say "what if NASA didn't have that lull in the 70s and instead resurrected Skylab and expanded upon it?" Thanks to @track and @Aviation365 for inspiring me to do this (a lot of discussion of OGL and GATU happened in the r/KSP discord where i threw my ideas at the wall)

Not natively, but All Tweak adds it.

ok that's really cool

congrats on 1k views

Kitbashed MOL for mapping (will launch sometime)

Saturn C-3 made with NFLV tanks and BDB engines (3rd stage and Apollo are also from BDB)

Kitbased Saturn C-3 (first and second stage tanks are from NFLV)

The TR-107 engine in NFLV has no audio.

Freedom, modular ETS-inspired space station, in its "Initial Operating Capacity" configuration. 250x250 km LKO (JNSQ), 7 modules.

or like I did with the LMSS crew tube

you mean like this?

lmao what is this supposed to be

I have always used the 2.5m to 0.9375m battery adapter from the Kvant-1 parts set. Adds a nice battery to the station too.

lmao this looks like the s-ivb is about to eat the gemini

Installed BDB, very cool mod, very detailed parts.

The UR-700, a Soviet super-heavy lift launch vehicle concept. It used 9 near-identical cores and a large upper stage, with 3 of the 9 cores acting as a lower stage, and the outer 6 would have been used as boosters. It also was completely fueled by N2O4/UDMH.

14/15 never thought about that Luke's lightsaber in Return of the Jedi was green because in post production they found that it showed up better against the sky during the sail barge scene.
