Part 1 of my modular Minmus mining base - built entirely by SSTOs!

[hazard-ish]

In order to prepare for extensive interplanetary SSTO missions of the future, I've started constructing a mining station/colony. Each delivery will be brought up using SSTOs and will consist of many various modules.

In this part: A habitation module, a drilling unit and an ore container were hauled up (a total mass of about 40 tonnes) using one of the largest SSTOs I've ever built.

Hope you enjoy

Hi!

I subscribed to your channel back at the Duna SSTO, and I was wondering, is there a chance you have the craft file for the aircraft in this upcoming series?

I really love driving mobile bases around different planets and moons and everytime I see something like this it makes me happy.

Thanks for the great videos!

Oh, and nice landing.

Hi! Sorry, I've only just seen this comment for some reason. First off, I'm glad you like my videos - it really means a lot. Just to clarify, there will be (on the whole) a new craft for each episode since each cargo requires specific transportation so there will be will be plenty to decide which one you prefer most. I've recently moved into university which his why there hasn't been an upload for a while (although the second part is very nearly done!) so sorry about that.

Honestly, I'm not that happy with the craft. It's over 700 parts and really began to slow down my laptop once I was having to load the aerodynamic forces (the final reentry procedure took over an hour from the moment I hit the atmosphere to touching down) so I'd be surprised if you wanted to use it. It also has a MAJOR symmetry issue that means you cannot alter the fuselage without it duplicating asymmetrically about 2/5ths of the time.

I've got one craft that works pretty much perfectly that will be used for episode 3 (with a stock tilting cockpit) that you might want more - it has a nicer part count, too so I;ll upload that craft file once the episode is out

If you still really want it then message me and I'll see what I can do though

Thanks again for your support

Don't worry, sometimes the KSP forums are a bit weird.

Can't wait to see the episodes, and great job getting into Uni!

Wow! That must have caused some serious lag. In reality I'm only really after the base because bases are my thing .

That craft sounds like it was a pain!

Alright, I can't wait for that, because I will use it!

No need to give me the file.

No problem!

Thank you for responding!

This is awesome! I'm happy to see that Overfloater-style SSTOs can still function in the new aerodynamics. I've been trying to make one for a while now but I don't quite have it yet.

Subbed!
