Introduction: Over the past few weeks, I've been exploring an alternate history scenario that considers what might have occurred if the USSR had not collapsed and the ISS project had not been undertaken like it has in reality. The primary aim of this thread is to create a coherent archive of all the lore, mission profiles, and screenshots related to this endeavour. I will document almost every mission I undertake in this thread, and I intend to post a mission update at least once or twice per week. My Inspiration: @Kuiper_Belt with their Incredible Shuttle Adventures and ISS Adventures thread @TruthfulGnome with their No Shortage of Dreams thread @Talverd with their Chasing Dreams thread Lore: 1980: Space Station Freedom project study begins 1981: Mir 2 project study begins 1982: NASA requests Western influenced countries to submit module proposals 1993: USA and USSR agree to "International Space Station" Project November 1997: Second Soviet invasion of Afghanistan March 1998: Western influenced countries begin to place sanctions on the USSR May 1998: Reykjavík Summit, talks about withdrawing soviet troops from Afghanistan collapse July 1998: USSR pulls out of ISS project

THIS IS A WORK-IN-PROGRESS! I've decided to share my aircrafts, based off the real thing. I've check the dimensions and the smaller details of the aircrafts in real life (placement of wings vary) to make sure they are quite accurate. Thanks to @selfish_meme, I was able to post my crafts somewhere: Antonov AN-225 Mriya and it's variants: Antonov An-124 Ruslan and it's variants: Buran and it's variants: Or get it all here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Anm_9ogC4FbWtvOXI4YzkySWM/view?usp=sharing Upcoming: Buran with Energia (possibly Energia and it's proposed variants too?) Note: The planes are missing the nose opening feature because there aren't any parts that provide the hinging mechanism. There is a way to do this and it does work, however I'm very busy and may not have time to finish the crafts so just bear with me. UPDATE 6/9/16: After posting a thread, it has come to me that there is a bug with the tiny docking ports where decoupling detached the ports. It probably won't be fixed until 1.2 however that is only part of a problem. The main issue is that the door is too heavy to be lifted by reaction wheels, the thrusters will easily run out of fuel and the door will not close completely and just hang on the hinge. I am getting to work with this. UPDATE 10/9/16: Now the problem is solved and I'm going to release to the public sometime soon, however the mechanism needs to be tested as to the height & width of the rover that can enter through the nose. The mechanism will be released first by 22nd of September then the mech will be incorporated slowly into the crafts. UPDATE: 24/9/16: Mech is released for download. Will add to Antonovs soon enough: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/148516-stock-mk3-nose-door/ Known issues: -Currently the known issues are all caused by the new 1.1 wheel model and only the wheels. They are being reworked and fixed in 1.2
