I intend for this to be the final major release of HabTech2 prior to shifting focus onto KSP2. I'm really pleased to have finally completed the ISS in time, after many years of work. This latest update started in mid 2019 - it has been a mammoth amount of work. I am hopeful that some of this work will be able to be transferred into KSP2 and take advantage of the potential massive increase in graphical capability (& stability with large vessels) that will bring. That being said, while I don't intend to add any new parts to HabTech2 from here on out, I will continue to support the mod and address any bugs or issues, as well as updating any dependencies as required. Thank you for your support over the years - I have loved working on this mod and getting feedback from all of you. It is a long journey and I am glad to have finally reached the destination, but a new journey is just about to begin. See you there.

An ISS parts mod for Kerbal Space Program 2 This mod is in pre-release. It does not have all the ISS components yet. This mod seeks to provide ISS and space modeling enthusiasts with all of the station's components (eventually) so that they can recreate its construction in the historical sequence of assembly, or simply utilize them to construct the space station of their dreams. Gallery Zarya Zarya, the original 'grandma' of the ISS, started out as the powerhouse, the brains, and the muscle of the station. But now, after years of hard work, she's basically the space version of an attic, filled with random stuff from the early days of space exploration. Unity Unity is the first U.S.-built component of the ISS, linking the laboratory's Russian Orbital Segment and US Orbital Segment. Unity was launched on 4 December 1998, aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour on STS-88. Zvezda Zvezda provides essential life support systems and offers a cozy home for two lucky kerbonauts. But don't be fooled by its laid-back exterior - Zvezda can be remotely controlled, so if it ever decides to start slacking off, the KSC can give it a virtual kick in the pants. Destiny The Destiny module is the primary operating facility for US research payloads aboard the ISS. This is where science gets a little... spacey. Z1 Truss The Z1 truss is the ISS's master of orientation, the king of control. It’s like the captain of a ship, always making sure everyone is headed in the right direction. With its gyroscopes and plasma pals, it's got the station spinning and twirling like a top, ensuring it's always facing the sun just right. P6 Truss The P6 truss was the second truss segment to be added (after the Z1 truss) because it contains a large Solar Array Wing (SAW) that generated essential electricity for the station. It was delivered by Space Shuttle Endeavour during STS-97. It was the last human spaceflight of the 20th century. Solar Array Wing The ISS Solar Array Wings are so powerful, they could probably light up the entire galaxy if they weren't busy powering the International Space Station to keep the lights on and the coffee brewing. APAS-95 docking port APAS-95 is an androgynous docking system used on the American and Russian modules on the ISS and to allow the Space Shuttle to dock. CBM docking port It's the ISS's secret weapon for connecting habitable modules in the US Orbital Segment. It's like the ultimate "stick-it-to-the-man" (or, in this case, the space station) solution. PMA-1 PMA-1 is basically the space equivalent of a USB adapter, but instead of letting you connect your phone to a laptop, it lets spacecraft connect to the station. Think of it as the ultimate 'space plug-in' for cosmic commuters. Launched with the Unity module in 1998 aboard STS-88. PMA-2/3 This adapter is used on the ISS to convert a CBM interface to an APAS-95 docking port. PMA-2 was launched with the Unity module in 1998 aboard STS-88. It was outfitted special hardware to allow the shuttles to stay docked longer. PMA-3 was launched in 2000 aboard STS-92. Zvezda Solar Panel Meet the solar panel that's seen more sunrises than a rooster. This retractable array is more interested in reminiscing about the glory days than tracking the sun. It's like a retired kerbonaut who's content to bask in the sunlight, occasionally muttering something about 'good old Comrade Sol'. External Active Thermal Control System* The ISS's a busy place, and what happens when all that activity heats things up? The station's radiators come in, space's biggest heat dump! They collect heat and reject it by use of pumped liquid state ammonia in closed-loop circuits to cool the station. * Since KSP2 does not have part heating, this part is just for looks. ISS Technical Docking Port This is a hooking part to weld together two elements where kerbonauts are not intended to pass through, and thus where traditional docking ports should not be used. This component does not exist in the real ISS and have been added for gameplay. Not compatible with other docking ports. Assembly For those daring enough to recreate the ISS's assembly in its historical sequence, this is the suggested procedure. In the absence of Canadarm, the use of tugs is necessary. Element Launcher* Date Recommended parts Zarya Proton-K 1998-11-20 Zarya, APAS-95 x3, Zvezda Solar Panel** x2, RV-105 RCS x4 (stock) Unity / PMA-1 / PMA-2 Space Shuttle (STS-88) 1998-12-04 Unity, PMA-1, PMA-2/3, CMB x8, APAS-95 x2 Zvezda Proton-K 2000-07-12 Zvezda, APAS-95 x4, Zvezda Solar Panel x2, Place-Anywhere RCS x8 (stock) Z1 Truss Space Shuttle (STS-92) 2000-10-11 Z1 Truss, CBM x2, ITDP x2 PMA-3 Space Shuttle (STS-92) 2000-10-11 PMA-2/3, CMB, APAS-95 P6 Truss Space Shuttle (STS-97) 2000-11-30 P6 Truss, EATCS x3, SAW x2, IDTP (x2 if you have to tug it) Destiny Space Shuttle (STS-98) 2001-02-07 Destiny, CBM x2 * launchers not included ** Zarya do not have its own solar panel yet Pictures (shuttle not included) Disclaimer This mod features a semi-realistic modeling of the ISS as some liberties were taken with reality in order to allow the parts to integrate properly with the game with reasonable performance. For example the CBM, used to connect habitable elements in the US Orbital Segment of the ISS, is a non-androgynous system in reality but has been made androgynous in the game for simplicity. This mod's author did his best to make every space shuttle assembly mission possible by allowing the elements to be stored in the stock mk3 cargo bay. Some elements may however still prove difficult to fit in, such as Destiny (some clipping with the cargo bay) or the P6 truss segment (you will need to tuck the radiators in). Known Issues RCS not included. Parts are not available on the tech tree. Zvezda Solar Panel is not self-tracking. Zvezda Solar Panel deployment in the VAB is too slow. Zarya does not have its own solar panel yet (you can use Zvezda's). No reentry effects. Kerbals located inside Zvezda do not show on the interior view windows.

CollectingSP's Kerbalized Space Program- A Mix Of Realism, Fantasy, and Make-Believe Bureaucracy CollectingSP's Kerbalized Space Program is Thread of the Month for April 2024! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello all! In my program, there are many alternate historical timelines and fantasy components. It's been semi-active since August of 2020. The major agencies and corporations represented in my program are many of the world's real-life agencies and corporations, such as NASA, Roscosmos, ULA and SpaceX, NGIS, and more. Most notably, I'm a fan of the United Launch Alliance (ULA) And their Delta IV program. Payloads Launched by the contractors in my program include payloads for the Air Force/Space Force, NASA, and Commercial Customers. In my program, I practice what I like to call EELV MADNESS! ( AKA The Practice of Using Expendable LVs for everything because I find them cool.) The major (current) launch contractors- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ United Launch Alliance Info About United Launch Alliance Launches- About Delta IV- "The Workhorse."- 11 Launches to date Delta IV Launches are conducted from Launch Complex 39B at Kennedy Space Center, FL, and Launch Complex 37B, at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, FL. About Launch Complex 39B- Leased to ULA, Owned by NASA. Complex 39B Previously Supported the Space shuttle and Constellation programs. In my timeline, After Constellation was canceled, ULA signed a lease to use this pad for their new Delta IV launch vehicle in 2018, and it was renovated to support the vehicle. Vehicles processed for launch from Pad 39B are processed in either high bay three or four of the vehicle assembly building, and then transported to LC-39B on Crawler-Transporter-1, which was leased from NASA and heavily modified to support Delta IV. Pad 39B was closed from March 2021 to November 2023 for upgrades to the Complex's fixed umbilical tower (FUT) to allow the Complex to support NASA's upcoming Orion Spacecraft, which will be launched on top of ULA's Delta IV Heavy Rocket from Complex 39B. This gives the FUT The appearance of the IRL SLC-6 Delta IV launch tower, at Vandenberg AFB, CA, with the addition of a Crew Access Arm. Complex 39B will also be used to launch American components of the International Space Station, Which in my timeline has not been constructed yet. About Complex 37/Pad 37B- Leased to ULA, Owned by USSF. Dormant since the early years of Apollo, Pad 37B Was reconstructed From a period ranging from 2022 to 2023 as ULA realized the need for another dedicated facility on the cape for Commercial and Military Delta IV missions, as Launch Complex 39B gears up to support Orion and the upcoming International Space Station Program. One note, as they are not built by NASA, the Russian Components of the ISS will use pad 37B as their launchpad, and Delta IV as their rocket, excluding Pirs, Poisk, and Prichal. Vehicle Numbering Scheme- Each Delta IV vehicle is assigned a sequential "Delta Vehicle," or DV number, to differentiate Delta IV vehicles from Delta III and Delta II vehicles processed by United Launch Alliance. This number usually looks like "DV-###." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems Info About Northrop Grumman Launches- About Antares 240 and Complex 19- 2 Launch(es) to date Antares is manufactured by Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems, which intends on using it to launch Commercial and Government Payloads, as well as to resupply the International Space Station. Specifically, the new 240 variant will be used for launches from Florida's space coast, in which the Castor 30 second stage has been replaced with a Liquid-fuel second stage powered by an RD-120 Engine. On November 06, 2023, Pad 19 was officially reactivated for use by Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems for use by their Antares Rocket, which is expected to have a first flight soon. The facility was originally leased to NGIS in December of 2022. Existing derelict Titan II hardware has been removed or demolished by NGIS, and a lightning protection system has been added for Antares Flights. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimers and notes-

The Idea: The International Space Station is one of humanities greatest achievements. Like many others I love the ISS, mods and Kerbal Space Program, naturally you would mix all 3. A little over a year ago I began an endeavor to accurately construct the ISS in order and document it on reddit. Since then time has passed and I have vastly improved in my ship creation and screenshot taking skills. I knew when I stopped the first time I'd revisit the idea and now is the time! The goal of this whole thing is to use Kerbal Space Program and a vast library of mods to document every flight to the ISS and its construction in order. Myself@lemon cup and @D0m1nu2 work hard on this project and we're very excited to work on documenting the sheer greatness that surrounds the ISS and it's missions! My Inspiration: The idea isn't original and born of several things including another series I created focusing on Shuttle Missions called Shuttle Adventures! These missions are created by not only myself but other like minded Kerbal players. But the Idea isn't mine by any means and I feel inclined to credit those who inspired me, If you like anything I've done you'll certainly enjoy what they've done. @Jay The Amazing Toaster with Kānāwai: Ares to Mars Kevin Gustafson and his amazing among other things ISS & Mir documentaries on Youtube @winged and his amazing among other things Constellation Mars video @Zorg @alberro+and @Pioneer_Stevefor dazzling me with their magnificent screenshots @AmateurAstronaut1969 and their fantastic series on the ETS Space Station Freedom @Jacktical and their awesome series on the IRL concept of Space Station Freedom that goes by the name of Space Station Liberty @D0m1nu2 and their excellent International Manned Laboratory series, a recreation of International Skylab conducted in RSS! @Aviation365 and their wonderful series Go At Throttle Up, an RSS/RO depiction of Shuttle Flights both real and fictional, while obeying Shuttle parameters. The progenitor to this series, Shuttle Adventures, An Album of Kerbalized Space Shuttle Missions, containing real, proposed, canceled and other Shuttle related missions. You can find that here: Mods: Since the inception of Shuttle Adventures the mod list has grown slowly over time and I've tried to keep up with updating the mod list. that will be include in the spoiler below the list of highlighted mods. @benjee10 With Redirect, Habtech 2, and SOCK @DylanSemrau With Photon Corp @Beale With Tantares @tony48 With KSRSS & KSRSSVE And the ReStock team with of course Restock Thanks to those who interact and follow this series! We've been working hard and having a great time making it!

ISS Community Revival Ok, so was very sad to see this mod go away. So, went ahead and cleared it with both Bobcat and Dragon01, and they have both allowed me to attempt to revive this mod. I am still in early phase 1 of the revival, which is establishing what is wrong, missing, or otherwise broken/obsolete. I will not post the download link as of yet, as the mod is no where near ready for distribution, but felt the need to announce what is going on. I am, however, seeking to start a modding team to work on this, as my abilities can only go so far. Ok, moving into Phase 2, after testing, discovered a few missing parts and other parts completely obsolete. So, Phase 2, the fix list before release is the following: Unity Module (Node 2) not loading in game. --fixed various broken assembly nodes. --Ongoing HTV not loading in. --Fixed Robot Arm obsolete...pending removal to separate folder. --removed, and replaced by Inverse Kinemetics As for the team, I feel like I can learn Blender well enough to get basic fixes done, but the Unity program is not functioning correctly, or I have yet to figure out what I am doing, so I will need someone who is experienced in working with Unity... at the immediate moment. Long Term Goals (ongoing plans not immediately necessary for initial distribution): -Add in the P6 and P5 truss segments -Establish and RSS/RO config files-started -create a decoupler for a progress craft to carry and detach the Pirs, Poisk, and Rassvet parts to the station -change the S1/P1 part to allow it to be more have more realistic radiator deployment -Add the ESP, ELC, etc. -update the Destiny module textures -Add parts that are not yet on the ISS yet but are planned for the future. -create individual interiors for each habitation module -look into cutting out possible dependencies by internally creating rockets for part launchers Credits: Allowing me to fix and maintain the mod: @Dragon01 and @BobCat Provided assistance where needed: @Mecripp and @FalconHeavy2019 Inverse Kinemetics Canadarm2: @Trufiadok

A thread for my ISS replica, which is an entry to @Akagi's Historical Replica Challenge.

This mod adds several new parts heavily inspired by the International Space Station to be used for space stations or interplanetary crafts. All crewable modules have IVAs, with future plans to continue adding additional props and texture revamps to increase immersion. Docking ports based on the Common Berthing Mechanism (CBM) and Androgynous Peripheral Attach System (APAS) also included, with features such as docking port gendering (active can only dock with passive) and restricted docking angles (90 degree for CBMs and 120 degree for APAS). Primary goal for current phase of this mod pack is to now provide Truss components, Solar Panels, and Radiators.

MechJeb docking might not work with the gendered ports with fixed offset snapping A Special Thanks @CobaltWolf for helping me improve my texturing ( Check out his great modpack here) @sumghai for pioneering the use of colliders for guide fins on docking ports. FAQ Q: Why do the Kerbal Habitation Modules have a designated floors and a ladder? I thought in space there is no "down"? A: These modules were designed around the idea of being able to be used with stations or interplanetary crafts which use spinning to provide artificial gravity (via persistent rotation or just role-playing). The IVAs will also make sense if you do decide to also use these in some planetary bases. Q: Why do the Kerbal Habitation Modules have a lower crew capacity than the amount of bunks in the space? A: The thought behind the crew capacities with these parts is that the sleep modules arent used for hot-bunking, so every personnel on the vessel has their own personal bunk and storage lockers. It kind of forces the effect of crew rotations by making it appear that the empty bunks are kerbals on duty or just off-duty and putzing around. The empty bunks in the sleeping modules would be whoever is currently on duty and in the command pod or science module. [If you do plan on increasing the capacity, without me adding new transforms in the Unity project file, the extra crew wouldn't show in the IVAs or have portraits.] Q: Why aren't the docking ports working? A: Common Berthing Mechanisms and APAS are gendered, and have (2) types: Active and Passive. You can only dock with the opposite gender type (active can only dock with passive). Docking a Passive/Passive, or Active/Active will not work. Q: The docking ports pull to each other, but the crafts just bounces back and forth and doesn't dock A: Docking ports will dock at specific orientations in 90 or 120 degree increments. The docking ports should magnetize and be attracted at any orientation, but the 2 vessels will just yo-yo and not dock until they are aligned, so you need to use SAS or RCS to rotate the craft a bit. The docking ports need to be oriented in any way that the ACBM guide fins are inside the PCBM guide fins like in the album below. Similar alignment is needed for the APAS docking ports. http://imgur.com/a/SaG6A Q: The alignment is hard to get, can you allow it to have more tolerance? A: If its cause more trouble than its worth, go into your KSP directory on your computer and modify the CBM and APAS .CFG files as shown below for both active and passive: Q: I hate the gendering/alignment feature A: Go into your KSP directory on your computer and modify the CBM and APAS .CFG files as shown below for both active and passive: Change Log License

The ISS Replica Project Over the past three years of playing KSP, I have made many stations, and about a third of those were attempts at making our beautiful ISS. Of all my attempts, the one that got the furthest only got as far as the Z1 truss, and it was hardly accurate. So this time, I decided that I would go all out and build the most visually accurate ISS replica I can possibly manage, module by module, and share it with you guys! My goal will be to build the modules, and put them in orbit with realistic launch vehicles, to be constructed in a realistic fashion, while providing educational shorts explaining the purposes and capabilities of each module (soontm). I hope you enjoy the ride! A modlist required to run the WHOLE PACK (lists for the individual modules are included in their sections) can be found here: Module 1: Zarya After around two weeks of solid work on my Zarya replica, it is finally (at least for now) finished! You may have seen it in other parts of the forum, but it is now up for download, and ready to go to space. The Zarya module (meaning 'sunrise' in Russian) was the first module of the International Space Station. Launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome, November 20th, 1998, it marked the dawn of a cooperative relationship between the space programs of the USA and Russia towards a common goal of a habitat in space. The main purpose of Zarya on launch was to provide propulsion and power to the Zarya - Unity module pair while waiting for Zvezda to launch and dock with the station, which would offer a more permanent propulsion solution. Based off proven technology developed in the Mir programme (for which Zarya was originally intended to be part of), Zarya was based off the already proven TKS-derived module technology. Ever since Zvezda docked, Zarya took a secondary role, and is now a main part of the ROS living quarters and fuel storage for the Zvezda booster system.

Want to help me improve what I've done? I'm all ears! Just let me know in this thread

Hey I'm Dom, I'm trying to get more noticed on the internet, and i want to share my space station designs as well as seeing others. Also if you have any advice on getting bigger on forums/youtube, that would be appreciated.

Rather interesting case: NASA astronaut Anne McClain, who participated in Expedition 58/59 from December 2018 to June 2019, is claimed of having illegally accessed her ex-wife's bank account during her time on the ISS. The Agency says it has opened an investigation into what could be the first crime in space. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-49457912 Interesting is the fact that (according to the article), "a legal framework sets out that national law applies to any people and possessions in space. So if a Canadian national were to commit a crime in space, they would be subject to Canadian law, and a Russian citizen to Russian law", which explains the initiation of the investigation by the NASA and not by an international body.

The ISS mission has to end some day. What would you do with the modules?

I wonder how long would take ISS to do decay it's orbit and burns up if no one would boost it to its proper orbit?

Disclaimer: I was originally going to call this project an "ISS Replica". I had already built Zarya, Node 1 Unity, and the first two PMA's... and then I discovered the following thread. After seeing what those guys did, I decided to call this an "ISS Approximation". If you're at all interested in a stock version of the ISS, I encourage you to check out what they built. It's pretty amazing! My first attempt Stock ISS was built back in v0.23.5, and back then the high part count made the game lag very badly. I knew that part count would not be as big an issue this time. However, due to my lack of time (and skill), I had planned to leave out certain elements such as robot arms, CETA cart, stowage platforms, etc. But I am building in docking ports to possibly add some elements later. Also, this project will be launched with non-IRL rockets, and assembled with a purpose built Tug. Space Shuttle not modeled, sorry EJ My goal was to find some balance between appearance & functionality. For example, I won't have a working Canadarm, but Zvezda is able to perform orbital reboosts (although it's not needed in KSP). EVA's will only be possible from IRL airlocks, all other hatches are covered / blocked. Crewmembers are transferred to station and returned to Kerbin via a functional Soyuz, however it only has two seats instead of three. I'm streaming the fabrication & assembly sessions on Twitch, but I don't feel the need to document this project with YouTube videos... that's what this thread is for. And frankly, I have no experience making videos. ISS Approximation, KSP v1.3.0, sandbox stock parts, no mods Station will be assembled to it's config as of JUN 2017, according to the historical timeline... mostly. Relocation of some elements will be skipped, i.e. P6 Truss. Future station configurations will be addressed as necessary, i.e. deorbiting Pirs, adding IDA-3 & Russian modules.

It was fairly stable in orbit when other ships docked to it, also when the whole station rotated (in any axis) using SAS. This time, not so much. So someone in my stream suggested autostruting, and it seemed to work. I've never used autostruts since they were added to the game. If I built something that needed struts, I did it the old fashioned way. Having not used it before, I figured it would be best to autostrut to the center of mass of the completed station... which roughly would be Node 1 Unity. Well, Node 1 was not the first station module launched IRL, nor in this project. And apparently when assembling a station in orbit, the first module launched becomes the root part. So I started over by deleting what I had already assembled in orbit (the first 4 launches). Then I went to the spaceplane hanger where my assembled mockup is. Then I rerooted the assembled mockup to Node 1, then cheated it back into orbit. Sorry, I didn't feel like doing those launches & dockings again. ====================== Stream 02, 23 AUG 2017 Launch 05, Z1 Truss, 29, 1.6t - PMA 3, 6, 1.4t Launch 06, Destiny Lab, 12, 6.5t Total: Parts = 158, Mass = 39.5t ====================== Stream 03, 27 AUG 2017 Launch 07, Quest Airlock, 15, 2.2t - Pirs Docking Compartment, 9, 1.6t Total: Parts = 182, Mass = 43.3t

UPDATED 29/04/18 FINAL PATCH WHILE WORKING ON NEXT MISSION! This is a basic mission that let's you head up to the International Space Station with the new Orion Module, not yet operational by NASA yet, transfer crew and return safety back to the KSC. I hope you all enjoy! DOWNLOAD HERE! Rookie

HI all. the mission although simples requires a lot of red tape. Put it simply ask politely at brave people of IIS to printer of 3D jebediah ou others (i personally prefer Valentina) Carlos

For clarification this would be Kerbin Orbiter's space program however that save is corrupted and well I've done two saves on that one so this is the third save ive added a few mods, removed some aswell, most notably RT because KOS refuses to do anything with RT installed even with a connection BREAKING PRESS RELEASE! so are you planning to go to Duna? KSEA-"yes we are we plan to go to Duna by the end of the decade" will you be using falcon heavy? KSEA-"no we won't we will be unavailing the rocket in around 10 days all I can tell you is it's HUGE" woule you take it to the Mun and/or Minmus? KSEA-"we will take it to the Mun but not Minmus because Minmus doesn't have the gravity" info: Currently the KSEA is working towards a recoverable rocket (this is the time i show you my code) Launch vehicles how to get involved Scheduled launches: Mission: Kerbinorbiter sat One objectives: Launch the satilite into orbit Secondary objective: Safe splashdown in the ocean Updates: we are now constructing a space station, i will also put the save file for downlaod every fortnight (two weeks) mod list incase you want to create a module for me video versions (release one soon!) https://github.com/Kerbinorbiter/KSS-expeditionary-missions/releases

Things slowed down here due to an update a while back, but it has been revived spectacularly here! This is a challenge for the space station builders out there. I have created a very simple Sandbox Stock savegame (I'll try to keep the latest link above the picture), and it has been added to by other players. There is a single orbiting station that started with 5 parts at about 100km over Kerbin, and a number of kerbals are inside. Your mission is to add 5 parts to the station by flying a mission and docking to the station. Do it in this order to complete the challenge: Post a note in this topic saying you are launching a module. This lets everyone know you have the latest version, and they should wait on their attempt until you complete the challenge. Download the latest savegame. Link is below over the picture, or if I haven't updated it just grab it from the latest forum post. Fly a mission to add a module to the station. Max 5 parts plus up to 2 docking ports can be added to the station, this includes tanks, lights, solar, batteries, any additional docking ports, RCS, everything. So choose carefully. Or add no docking ports, but you still only get 5 parts Dock your module with the station without destroying it. Deorbit any debris or additional ships, or delete them from the tracking station. Take pictures or video of the mission Upload your images to a new post, and the (new and improved) savegame for the next person. New! Community Spaceship Assembly for Jool mission on station - Cleared for launch! Station Maintenance Mission: Instead of launching a module, you may launch a maintenance shuttle (make it look cool!) with KIS/KAS installed, and basic tools on board. Absolutely no mod parts (even struts/fuel lines) left on station please, the savegame still has to load for stock players. It is understood that this side mission is fairly advanced work, and requires a bit of skill, so don't take it on unless you are quite certain you can manage it. Also, get yourself a shiny new badge! I'm interested to see what the Kerbal community can assemble in orbit - kind of like the ISS with different nations adding their modules. Hoping for a truly spectacular station by the time everyone is caught up in 1.1 A few ground rules: No parts mods at all, and particularly no modded parts added to the final station savegame, or it will break it for the next user. No HyperEdit, F12, etc, fly this like a real mission. I particularly encourage innovation - if you have a nice SSTO to bring your module up in a cargo bay, or a clever way to build a module, go for it! Leave the station in LKO. You can move it if you absolutely must, but keep it well within the orbit of the Mun to avoid interference and keep this challenge doable even by newer players Imgur albums are good for pics, unless you have a better way, also Dropbox is decent for posting the savegame. If you break the station or break parts, you have failed the challenge. Either reload the save, or accept a failed mission Try to only keep the station savegame long enough to do the challenge. If you post that you are starting your attempt, the next person has to wait for you to complete it, so don't hold on to it forever. Do your mission, post the savegame, and let the next person give it a shot. Missions are all to be done in 1.1.x, to avoid savegame loading conflicts. One at a time! You can add multiple modules if you like, but only one per attempt, and let at least one other player take a turn between your additions. Leave a docking port open for the next player! Please make sure all struts used connect FROM your launcher TO the payload, otherwise they add mass and part count, and will count against your 5 part limit. Here's a recent shot of the station, and I'll try to keep an active link to the latest savegame If it's not current, just look to the latest forum post. Total 245 parts and growing For newer players, here's how to use a downloaded savegame.

As you may know in 6 days time (20/04/17) a soyuz spacecraft is launching to the ISS (International Space Station) so i decided that i would take some time to create what the mission would be like: and feature upcoming missions to the International space station (non-commercial [until we have commercial crew supply missions]) ISS, 14/4/17 yes i know its hard to see but there are soyuz and progress there as i type on 14/04/17

DrDevil having exploited an army of Kerbals and he made a copy of the International Space Station ISS. Sorry i'm French and i'm working on the reverse .. Thx for watching and please tell me what you think.

The launch is in about an hour! It's an unmanned resupply cargo spacecraft, due for ISS docking. It carries several small satellites as well, to be deployed from ISS.

Today three members of the Expedition 48 crew successfully reached Earth orbit and are on the 2 day journey to ISS. This launch is somewhat special, because it features new version of Soyuz spacecraft. I want to share some videos related to launch and new Soyuz: Launch video (in English): Soyuz-MS features highlight (from popularmechanics.com article ): Video about Soyuz-MS spacecraft (in Russian, but you can try English subtitles): 360 degree video from launch pad (watch the box!):

This International Space Station runs about 400 parts, which is good for KSP 1.1.3. It is missing most external modules including the ESP's and ELC's and other external pieces. This model includes the Leonardo and Orbital Sciences Cygnus Orb. TWEAK SCALE IS REQUIRED! Downloads: http://kerbal.curseforge.com/projects/scale-stock-international-space-station Known Issues: Poisk is in the wrong place. Zvezda is missing a docking port on Zenith side. Uzlovoy is missing. The AMS is missing The Nodal Module is missing. The SPM modules are missing. The Integrated Truss is not complete to keep part count down. Please post any other problems in this thread so I can fix them. Picture: http://imgur.com/gallery/7h7WzqO Information on the International Space Station found on Wikipedia.org
