    Built one of the concepts for the IRSO Space Station.

    - Sources were offical and unoffical renders. 
    I mainly used tantares for my parts

    you can post photos by pressing the "Insert image from URL" at the bottom right and make sure to put a .png OR .jpg at the end if it does not work go on imgur then photos/images and then click the phote/image you want to put in your reply/thread and make sure you copy the "Direct Link" should look something like this:

    Then Go To Direct Link And Click Copy And Then If You Did It Correctly You Should See Your Image In Your Reply/thread

    Purists don't like it but if you have a bulky payload big old fins at the bottom are what you need to keep the nose pointed the right way. 

    will try next time if i go to jool.. maybe...

    another trick if you have to launch a payload with a really bad aerodinamic is to put the rockets on top. it looks horrible and would not work in real life, but it does wonders here

    another option is to just have enough power and gimbaling to compensate for aerodinamic instability.

    this thing has even worse aerodinamics than your station, but all those mammoths kept it flying straight.

     

    finally, another option is to fly straight at low speed until you are out of the lower atmosphere. sure, it does require a lot of extra deltaV to compensate for gravity drag, but sometimes adding a bunch of fuel tanks is the simplest solution. especially if the payload is cumbersome but light

    yeah i made the fairing thinner by moving around my cockpit so that way i could have it complete

  3. another update: got to orbit!!!! and just took a picture of the station in orbit with.. nobody in it.. but soon ima see if I can use the FreeIVA Mod
