[SPACE STATIONS! Post your pictures here]

Hi all! This post may be both my presentation and to show you my first attemp to make a functional space station!

Just today i learnt how to rendeavouz propeerly, and how to dock things, i spent almost 3 hours for that, but it was a funny time learning from mistakes that allowed me to do this:

K.I.S.S. (Kerbal International Space Station)

Station Data:

Part Count: 173

Total Mass: 38'07 t

Orbit Data:

Velocity: 1791 km/h +- 1'9 km/h

Altitude: 500.000 m +- 1500 m

Kerbalnauts:

Bill Kerman

Halbrett Kerman

Samory Kerman

Screenshots:

As you can see, the station is made of 3 different stages. Looking at the first photo, from left to right, you can see the Communication Module, in the center the Habitat Module, and in the right the Lab Module. I plan to extend above with two bigs refueling and docking modules. In the south i plan to wait until more updates, because i'm sure that more things will be implemented to space stations.

I know it's not as cool as many i have seen in this post, but it's mine, i love it, and i enjoyed a really good time assembling it. I hope you like it too, tought just a little!

See you!

I really like your space station. Did you use any mods to make it??

[Essential components of a Space Station]

Thanks for the replies everybody, I'll try to send up a spacestation core and add som solar panels, habitation and fuel. As some of you said my imagination will probably find on more stuff to add I will also check out the Space station showcase thread to see if there's something I like (I'm sure there'll be ). Thanks for the help and i think I'll post my results here when I'm done

[Essential components of a Space Station]

First of all, I am sorry if a thread similar to this have been posted elsewhere on the forum, I couldn't find any.

I've played the game for some time now and i know the basics now. I have sent a rocket to the Mun and to Minmus and i have landed on both moons. I've done a simple orbital rendezvous and docking. Next project coming up is a space station.

However I am not sure what components a space station should be comprised of. What should I start with sending up, and are there any general terms for some components which are essential for a Space station??

Feel free to ask if I'm being unclear

Thanks
