SISS 11: JAXA Kibo Module - March 23rd, 1990 Flown by: STS Enterprise + Aardvark Tug SISS 11 marks the return to flight of Space Shuttle Enterprise. Enterprise had been the victim of human error and had to make a crash landing in the ocean. Thanks to some great piloting by the commander, Enterprise survived the ordeal, though suffered major damage to several areas. A heft rebuild and refit was carried out to bring the very first space shuttle back online. Although, Enterprise would not visit SISS herself, she did help launch the JAXA Kibo module into orbit. Aardvark took over duty of delivery once Enterprise detached to do her own mission. Enterprise's mission was to conduct on orbit experiments in low orbit. Aardvark met with SISS, in which she detached Kibo and let the custom tug take over docking. Due to Kibo's unique setup, Aardvark had to be mounted to the docking port meant to be used to dock Kibo to the station. A custom tug was constructed to allow docking.

Long Zarya? Nah. Mok 2? Yah.

So I'm guessing the new Soyuz update has been halted? What about the fix for the bug with Priroda's SAR Antenna?

Yeah, that's what I was talking about. I think it was only prominent on the Minuteman, but seeing as Minuteman and Minotaur use the same first stage, would be nice to have.

Yes it is. It also still has the Apollo CM at the front. You can barely see it peeking past the ring. Also, are you going to include the first stage engine skirt for the Minotaur? Good god...

Can you be more specific? And please provide your ksp.log file and screenshots if possible.

Oh no...

So, um... when can we expect this beauty (/S) Cobalt?

The space shuttle is as safe as any other form of space travel imo. Edit: Well, it's more dangerous, yes, but at the same time, just as safe. The LES could, theoretically, fail on a crew capsule. Also, crewed Ares will return.

You were warned.

All of these are in the same album, so here it is: Imgur: The magic of the Internet Expedition 2-RA - February 17th, 1990 Flown by Soyuz Expedition 2E Returns - February 16th, 1990 Expedition 1R-B Returns - February 18th, 1990 SISS 10: P3 Truss - March 2nd, 1990 Flown by Ares IC(argo) With a redesign of the P3 and S3 truss segments, contruction of the Solar Truss continued with the launch of SISS 10 aboard the Ares IC. The C didn't stand for the third iteration, but instead it stood for Cargo. Concerns expressed by the public *cough* @ra4nd0m *cough* has limited the Ares I fleet to cargo and satellite launches for the time being. Orion will instead launch aboard Titan LDC for it's next launch.

Here's the cursed double launch I said I'd post. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Okay, maybe not that cursed.

Picture a logical way to combine both shuttles, the sts stack and energia. Now throw that image in a blender.

So I decided to launch Space Shuttle and Buran... on the same launch... How I did that? Well, you'll have to wait until Monday for those pictures. Just know... it's cursed. It's very cursed.

@EStreetRockets @Invaderchaos Found a bug. One of the reverser RCS ports doesn't fire with the others on the 5m avionics core.

Nope. I don't use RO.

Those aren't my screenshots.

The RD-58s from Tantares. Idk which has it but either SOCKReColored or SOCKRePainted gives the cargo bay the Buran tiling in their latest update.

You drag and drop the buran files into the parts folder.

Your KSC is glowing green... and so are the kerbals.

SISS 9: Krussian Science Power Platform (SPP) AKA Flower Power Tower - February 12th, 1990 Flown by Energia-Vulkan Energia debuts their new super-heavy lift launch vehicle based off the Energia rocket. The Energia-Vulkan. Atop the Energia-Vulkan sat Krussia's latest module for the SISS. The Science Power Platform ,nicknamed the Flower Power Tower by most of the world, it was a module designed to house science experiments and provide extra power and cooling for the growing station. Launch went off without a hitch, but SPP stopped broadcasting regular telemetry after orbit insertion. SPP reported to be in safe mode. The Krussian Space Command immediately got to work diagnosing the problem. It took a whole day to figure out what had happened. One of the batteries for the main computer had rapidly drained, depleting to zero within minutes. To safe power, SPP's computer put itself in Safe Mode to try and trickle feed off the remaining batteries in case the others were also bad. After a little more diagnostic work, the other batteries were given a good bill of health. After an update was uploaded to SPP's computer to ignore the dead battery, SPP was taken out of safe mode and the rendezvous and docking were reprogrammed. SPP arrived at SISS and docked without further incident. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet (Note: I might replace the solar panels with something else. There are currently 40 solar panels on the Flower Tower. I also had a Kraken attack and the whole module exploded during one rendezvous attempt, sending debris interplanetary.)

Nah, my Ares I has the vibration problem solved. IIRC, they solved the IRL vibration problem as well. As for the abort problem... er... more boosters? In all seriousness, I can think of one abort scenario should they need to ditch the SRB. Just pop the top. Have the SRB producing thrust at both ends so it basically becomes thrustless. The SRB falls away as the crew module gets pulled from danger.

Yes, but they asked specifically where I got the Buran I used in the screenshot, which is from Shuttle Orbiter Construction Kit. (SOCK)

The only thing we know is "In the coming weeks." Could be this week, could be at the end of the month.
