It would be yeah, but I was just giving an alternative they could use.

Just make the cargo section of the AARDVARK reenterable by slapping a heatshield under the probe. I made this real quick, so it's not perfect, but you get the concept. Make sure you have plenty of parachutes and maybe some landing gear... it may crush itself on landing.

A non-newtonian physics payload adapter? That's impossible.

S4, S5, P4 and P5 docked. Also, the last image is a bonus from when I relaunched the solar segments because one of them had the docking port in the wrong position. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

S2, S3, P2 and P3, docked. Yes, I included the 2s. Just looks better imo. Better transition than just half hexagon to full hexagon, full stop. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

S1 and P1 Truss segments docked. No launch pictures because it's the same vehicle. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Some pictures of my latest launch using the 8.4m (5m KSP) Ares V. @EStreetRockets @Invaderchaos I know you said you weren't doing the 8.4m (5m) Ares V, but could we get at least just the engine mount? Or perhaps a 'flat' 5m engine mount without the flares to make it more look like Ares V? Just a suggestion.

I believe that's the S-II 7 engine mount. It's tweakscaled of course from 6.25 to 5.

That Blk II Tunnel, is that a short variant of the docking tunnel? Or is it just embedded within the lab a little bit?

Wrong person to quote/ask. You want to reply to or ping @EStreetRockets

Zvezda joins Spacelab ISS.

You'll also want this which has the SRBs:

Enterprise delivers Unity to International Space Station (Spacelab Edition). You're probably wondering why I used TRS instead of a robotic arm... I'm not good with them, and robotic arms are kind of tricky to play with to begin with. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

@EStreetRockets I was curious, do you plan on making the Space Shuttle LRBs? Or is NLS-3 supposed to fill that role? If the latter, could we get a four-engine mount for NLS-3?

Oh, I didn't know. My bad.

You used the wrong scaling. KSRSS is 2.5 scale, not 2.7. (35,786km-90km)0.25+90km (35,696km)0.25+90km 8,924km + 90km = 9,014 km Keep in mind, this isn't perfect. You might not achieve a true geosynchronous orbit.

You're welcome, but I can't take credit. @Zorg taught me that one.

(A-90)0.25+90 Where A equals the real orbit value. For example, ISS equals (422-90)0.25+90 (322)0.25+90 83+90=173KM AP (413-90)0.25+90= 170.75KM PA Or in your example of 1500km x 1500km (1500-90)0.25+90=442.5KM It's not an exact equation, but it's the best for 2.5. You can adapt it to other scales by changing the 90KM to the altitude of the Karmin Line for a specific scale, iirc. Also change the scaling (i.e. The 0.25) So, (A-K)*B+K A = IRL orbit of satellite or station K = Karmin Line of the scale you're working with. (70km for stock, 85to90ish for 2.5, 90to95ish for 2.7, etc) B = Scale of system (0.10, 0.25, 0.27, 0.5, etc)

Are you going to make a cutout in the top for Benjee's Orion?

@Beale Benjee's solar panels aren't in the dev build of Tantares. Not really a big deal, just thought I'd let you know.
