Typically I launch with it docked to the top node, and then once it's in orbit I undock > redock. Thats what I figured I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't "DUH you have to add the von brahn strap to the stack! IDIOT!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDIOT!" I feel that if not for two (3?) reasons NASA would have done Skylab the BDB way. 1) the Docking port is NOT automated. Automatic Docking ports didn't really come into existance until Post ASTP period. Skylab was already being readied to launch at this point and relies on the older/simpler Probe-drogue style docking port 2) NASA did not like not having a man in the loop as it were for docking. 3) and possibly (although I admit no knowledge on this subject.) there was not enough room in the docking room for more than 2 ships to dock (remember Soyuz was originally supposed to be docked with Skylab B as part of ASTP.) IE there are only two docking ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means it is smaller in all respects (except the CM and SIVB) to BDB's Saturn V. A BDB Based NOVA would be Gargantuan by comparison. As a Shameless plug of my own work, A Saturn V MLV boosted by 4 AJ-260Longs is actually MORE than NOVA and it is already possible with the latest masters (Using the Pafftek Extras folder in the Masters for the MLV tankage and HG3 engines.) So why would you want an over complicated and wasteful stage with 8x F-1 engines? 4 AJ-260s more than make up for it and you can still fit it in the VAB (barely) without resorting to Hangerextender or similar mods.

ALBUM Looks great! I've been using Delta III in my main career save, but I used the Centaur-T tankage instead of something closer to an actual DCSS. Btw, this mod does actually include an RL-10B with an extendable nozzle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
