  1. Didn’t work for me Even tried running as administrator
  2. The game keeps giving error code: Kerbal Space Program 2 - Unity 2020.3.33f1_915a7af8b0d5 I’ve updated the graphics drivers and meet the minimum required specs: CPU: Core i5 2410M GPU: AMD Radeon 7400M If you do, please share, I don’t want to have to refund the game on day 1
  3. Thanks! I never expected anyone to like it, just a passion project.
  4. Yup, in the 1,12 update they added an LRV and Lunar Shelters Part XVIII 6 October 1972 Moonlab 2 and Excalibur sit on LC-39A, with an uprated SM and mission module. Liftoff! Separation viewed from the ground. Skipping TLI... The SLA panels are opened and Excalibur pitches backward to dock with the mission module. The mission module is extracted from the SIVB Circularization around the moon. Then the game crashed....
  5. Part XVII: A Lab on the Moon 1 August 1972 Moonlab 1 sits on Pad 39A, ready to carry Alan Shepard and, interestingly, Geraldyn M. Cobb, the first female American Astronaut to Shackleton. Shepard boarding Kitty Hawk prior to liftoff. Ignition Max-Q, as viewed by the tracking cameras at Coco Beach. TLI Shepard flips the switch to free Kitty Hawk from the SIVB. Kitty Hawk docks with LSAM-1, named Wagtail. Lunar Orbit Insertion Rendezvous with the waiting Moonlab. Shepard undocks Wagtail and pulses backward, allowing Cobb to dock to Moonlab. Moonlab fires its DPS-II engine briefly to put it on a course to Shackleton, Cobb begins the descent. "Contact light. Shutdown" "Copy, Moonlab has landed on the edge of Shackleton Crater." 4 August 1972, first lunar base. Cobb deploys the LRV-XL rover from its ramp. While waiting for LSAM touchdown, several experiments are performed. LSAM touchdown. The LSAM is put into hibernation, waiting for Moonlab 2 and Excalibur to arrive in two months' time. Cobb and Shepard continue to run experiments and deploy scientific gear around the base. New part tomorrow!
  6. Part XVI: Moonlab 28 July 1972 The Saturn V carrying the Moonlab Lunar Research Outpost sits on LC-39B, ready to launch. "T-Minus 15 seconds, we have guidance transfer, the launch vehicle is now on internal guidance." "10, 9, 8, 7, ignition sequence start, 4, 3 ,2, 1" "And liftoff of Moonlab, the first lunar base!" Stage separation viewed from the ground TLI on the dark side of the earth. Separation from the SIVB Moonlab will autonomously place itself in lunar orbit, where the crew of Moonlab I and their LSAM lander will rendezvous and pilot it down.
  7. Attention! Ad Astra isn't dead (yet)(I think)! I apologize for the break, but part 16 is coming. Now that BDB 1.11 is out, I can build moonlab!
  8. The Boost Protective Cover on the launch abort system obstructs the Orion’s crew hatch. I think an openable BPC crew door would help.
  9. I have an idea, maybe make the crew access door on the BPC openable, right now when you try get the crew outside into the white room, it says “Hatch obstructed”
  10. Just found this while looking for SOCK Repainted, will play with it non-stop for the next few days!
  11. Part XV: Black Ops 18 March 1971 G-1971-03 sits atop a Titan II on LC-19, its goal, to rendezvous and neutralize the Zenit spy satellite designated Kosmos 238. Liftoff! The Gemini capsule carries Gus Grissom and Dave Scott into the sky. Separation Shutdown, Gemini is now in orbit. After separating from Titan, Gemini performs a rendezvous burn to reach Kosmos in 5 orbits time. 2 and a half hours later, Gus Grissom performs station keeping maneuvers around Kosmos. Dave Scott disembarks from Gemini, testing a new suit known as the EMU, thrusts over to Kosmos. After collecting the film out of the return capsule, Scott reembarks the Gemini capsule. Due to lack of docking, Gemini is instead fitted with several cameras in its nose section for observing the Earth and the Kosmos satellite. The crew continue to station keep around the Spysat. The crew observe slight oscillations in the Satellite, caused by Scott pushing off after film removal. Deorbit Splashdown in the Pacific Ocean All photos and documents from this mission will remain classified for many years to come, to the public, G-1971-03 is nothing but an unmanned test flight of block II hardware and Earth observational purposes.
  12. Part XIV: Strides in technology 12 March 1971 A mockup of a new spacecraft is rolled out of the Hangar in Palmdale, California. The new Space Transportation System will be ready, earliest in 1979. It will act as a ferry for both Skylab and the lunar base, now named Moonlab. In other news... 15 March 1971 A US spy satellite detects a launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, it is a Soyuz rocket carrying a Zenit spy satellite. Inside sources in the Kremlin informed the DoD that the satellite will be used to spy on US operations at Vandenburg AFB in California. Booster sep The satellite waits for California to pass below it and begins taking photos. Sorry this one was short. The motherlode is coming tomorrow, where we will see the final flight of an American icon.
  13. Part XIII 20 February 1971 Skylab II prepares to launch Pete Conrad and Joseph Kerwin to rendezvous with Skylab Pete Conrad prepares to board Columbia. Max-Q The SIVB separates from the SIB LES jettison. Columbia separates from the Saturn IB Columbia performs a rendezvous burn to reach Skylab. \ Soft capture. Hard Capture. After 3 days on orbit, Pete Conrad performs an EVA to help configure some of Skylab's instruments. Columbia will remain docked to Skylab for 150 days, in 130 days time, Freedom will arrive, carrying the crew of Skylab III.
  14. Part XII: Skylab 14 February 1971 A modified Saturn V sits on LC-39A, carrying America's first space station, Skylab. After burning through all of its fuel. the SIC is jettisoned. The SII jettisons its engine skirt. Skylab separates from the SII after being inserted into orbit. The ATM folds down from Skylab's main fuselage. Skylab sits in orbit waiting for her crew to arrive in a few days.
  15. Part XI: Rendezvous Freedom is once again rolled out to LC-39A, ready to carry Alan Shepard and Fred Haise to SICS. The newest Saturn V is mated to Freedom and Seahawk to be rolled out to LC-39A. "Liftoff at 11:51AM local time." SIVB shutdown. Trans-lunar injection. The SLA panels are jettisoned. Transposition and docking. The LM Seahawk is extracted from the SIVB. LOI The crew transfer from Freedom into Seahawk. Seahawk is checked out in orbit of the Moon. Shepard and Haise land at Shackleton and walk to SICS to collect the samples. As part of the surface science, Shepard hits a golf ball to see how far it goes. "Seahawk, you are go for launch." "Roger Houston, we are ready to do some flying." "Good liftoff." Seahawk and Freedom dock, following crew transfer, the LM is jettisoned. Trans-Earth injection. SM jettison. Drogue chute deploys. Splashdown, Freedom now has another mission under her belt. Plans are being made for a lunar base at Shackleton.
  16. Part X: Together The twin spacecraft Columbia and Freedom (named after her Gemini 13 namesake) are rolled out of the VAB onto Pad 39A and B. Their mission is meant to mimic a proposed Skylab mission, with a Gemini II launching into orbit to rendezvous with a space station. Columbia prepares to launch first on 39A, with Freedom launching 3 hours afterward. Liftoff of Columbia as Freedom's crew of Deke Slayton and Jim Irwin board. Stage separation After SIVB shutdown, Columbia separates from the Saturn IB, carrying John Young and Dave Scott. Columbia unfurls her solar panels. Meanwhile at Cape Kennedy, Freedom lifts off from Pad 39B Freedom separates from her Saturn IB, ready to perform a rendezvous burn to reach Columbia. After station keeping for 10 minutes, final approach is initiated. "Capture" "Copy Deke, soft capture." Deke Slayton performing cabin chamber equalization, prepared to board Columbia through the crew tunnel. The two crews' views of each other through the capsule windows. After a week docked, Freedom jettisons her docking port while still docked for redundancy. Explosive bolts will separate the whole array from Columbia. Columbia performs her deorbit burn. When the SM is separated, the radiators are jettisoned to ensure it burns up in the atmosphere. Splashdown in the Pacific, Freedom will have the same procedure two days later. This was really fun to make! I adore the Gemini II's and can't wait to send them to the moon, maybe with a LM!
  17. Jeb tentatively stands in front of his rocket plane, ready to make him the first Kerbal in space, after being escorted by KSAF officers to the KSC runway.
  18. Part IX: New Generation NASA and the USAF have decided to develop a Block II Gemini capsule. 19 July 1970 LG-001 sits on the now 12 year old Pad 5. Fire! LES ejection. The Block II lands on the beach. LG-002 LG-002 lifts off Pad 6 atop a Little Joe II1/2, a smaller Little Joe II. The booster fails and the LES fires, but the capsule loses control. The capsule hits the road too hard and explodes LG-003 Liftoff! Abort! The capsule now has 3 small abort fins. Drogue deploy. Splashdown.
  19. Part VIII: Ice Scans and surface samples from Gemini 16 have indicated large amounts of ice on the Moon's south pole. The SICS (Shackleton Ice Collection System) sits on a Titan IV on SLC-41 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. A Titan IV sits on SLC-41 With the iconic wail of the LR-87's turbopumps, the Titan IV lifts off SLC-41. "We've got a roll program." Max-Q SRB separation Staging After orbit insertion, the Transtage separates. Trans-lunar injection using the Transtage Lunar Orbit Insertion. The Orbiter stage hits the surface at Shackleton. SICS touches down on the Moon's south pole. SICS deploys its drill and begins harvesting the regolith, Gemini 17 will target a landing to collect the sample. KSRSS is still broken, but I like KSC Extended, so we will continue on normal KSP for the foreseeable future.
  20. Part VII: South Pole 26 January 1970 Odyssey, now sporting a new Paintjob, is once again atop LC-39A (for real this time!), prepared to go to the moon, now with a block II service module. Liftoff viewed from the LCC, carrying Neil Armstrong and Alan Bean to the Moon. The Saturn V launch is standard at this point, let's skip it. Odyssey is inserted into orbit. Trans-lunar injection. 1 hour after TLI, an N1 launches from the Kazakh SSR. Separation from the SIVB Lunar Orbit Insertion. Eagle is freed. Armstrong flies to his lander in lunar orbit. Eagle separates from Odyssey. Touchdown at the lunar south pole, near Shackleton crater. The American flag is placed into the regolith. Armstrong looks over Shackleton crater. While returning to his lander, Armstrong spots something on the horizon. Houston allows him to investigate. Armstrong comes across a Soviet cosmonaut and her LK lander. The cosmonaut brandishes a mining hammer. Armstrong is ordered to leave the site. The cosmonaut climbs into the LK. The LK blasts off the surface unexpectedly, knocking Armstrong to the ground. The LK's engine fails and the lander falls into the depths of Shackleton. Eagle blasts off the surface. Docking with Odyssey. Trans-Earth Injection Odyssey once again lands in the Gulf of Mexico. The Soviet Union announce that they had an uncrewed N1 rocket launch from Baikonur, but NASA knows that this is false. The events of Gemini 16 on the moon are classified.
  21. Quick Announcement! My KSRSS is a bit broken right now. Part 7 will be released later today but on my regular KSP install. On the plus side, that means proper historical launchpads!
  22. Part VI: "We are go for landing" 4 July 1969 Gemini 15 sits on LC39A, getting ready to launch at midnight on July 5th The peaceful soundscape is shattered at 8 seconds to midnight, as the 5 F1 engines of Gemini 15 Ignite. The tower is clear at 05-07-1969, 00:00:12 The Saturn V punches through the layer of fog over Florida Staging Inboard cutoff Trans-lunar injection The spacecraft separates from the SIVB Lunar Orbit Insertion Challenger is free Capture Jim Lovell tests a new jetpack, dubbed the MMU, in low lunar orbit Challenger separates from Odyssey Deorbit burn Touchdown. Jim Lovell becomes the second man on the moon, 9 July 1969. LOVELL: "Houston, this view is truly incredible." CAPCOM (Buzz Aldrin): "Magnificent desolation." The American flag is placed into the soil of the Ocean of Storms Unlike LG-02A, several surface experiments are brought onboard Challenger, including a retroreflector and a seismometer. Challenger lifts off the surface of the moon, July 10th, 1969. Docking with Odyssey Trans-Earth injection The service module is separated from Odyssey Splashdown, 13 July 1969. During reentry, a new reusable heat shield is tested, made of thousands of silica tiles. Odyssey is the first reusable spacecraft. 25 July 1969 This image is broadcast to television screens all over the world. Alexi Leonov becomes the first cosmonaut on the moon. Discussions are now happening in both the Soviet and American space programs about permanent lunar colonies. The timeline is now completely different. Do you think I should make this like For All Mankind and do surface bases. As always, feedback is appreciated!
  23. Part V: Le Voyage Dans La Lune Apollo is no more 25 December 1968 The USSR tests their LK lander in LEO. 21 January 1969 The USAF tests a prototype lander 28 February 1969 Several tests are performed on the Apollo CSM to no avail. All future missions are cancelled. 16th of May 1969 President Richard Nixon stands before congress. "Due to recent events, all future Apollo missions are suspended, pending cancellation. We choose to continue to the moon with the Gemini program, and predict a landing in November this year." It turns out that the God of Divine Distance could not get over 5000 miles away from the launchpad without issue. 20th June 1969 The God of Wealth stands tall and mighty upon the launchpad 39B, propelling Constitution and her crew to the moon. Constitution and Santa Maria sit atop LC39B, as Gemini 15 is on 39A. "Ignition sequence start." LG-02A lifts off, aiming to test the USAF's Gemini lander in orbit of the moon. This is also the aim of Gemini 15. "The tower is clear!" Stage separation. The prototype Gemini LES is jettisoned. Cutoff SIVB separation The SIVB is re-ignited to perform the trans-lunar injection The spacecraft, atop an Apollo service module with life support equipment removed, separates from the SIVB Lunar Orbit Insertion The Earthrise viewed from Constitution. Santa Maria's aerodynamic cover is jettisoned. Transposition and docking of Constitution and Santa Maria. Crew transfer. An EVA is required due to the Gemini's small size. For the next 2 hours, Santa Maria's systems are checked out in Lunar orbit. The Apollo's LMDE engine lowers Santa Maria's orbit to a 42x6km orbit. Santa Maria separates from the Apollo The crew goes against direct orders from the Air Force and performs PDI. Contact and shutdown. Santa Maria lands in the moon's Mare Crisium. After 3 hours on the surface, Commander Buzz Aldrin steps out of his lander. Aldrin's first action is to place the American flag on the Moon, fulfilling Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the mon. Santa Maria blasts off the moon's surface Aldrin docks to Constitution and Michael Collins waiting in orbit After transfer, Santa Maria is jettisoned. Trans-Earth injection While approaching the Earth, the crew are able to observe the Aurora Borealis. SM jettison Reentry over Japan. The crew splash down in the Pacific Ocean, near Hawaii. Now that America has won the moon, all eyes are on the Soviet Union to see if they can match the western achievement. Commander Aldrin is both honoured and lambasted by his Air Force superiors for disobeying direct orders. Discharged or not, Aldrin's name will go down in history. Gemini 15's mission has been shifted and its crew of Jim Lovell and Tom Stafford require additional training. Their lander Challenger also needs to be modified.
