Your Best Acronyms!

[StrandedonEarth]

Launched the ACK (Asteroid Capture Kontraption). It was in solar orbit trying to line up for a correction burn when I realized the solar panels hadn't deployed (software glitch, yeah, that's why, yeah). So I immediately launched "ACK-2, Baby!" to catch and jump-start it. Now I have two ACKs looking for new targets.

Did I say a few? Must have gotten carried away. 

Interesting name for a Laythe Satellite, however, I thought LOSS was way more Kerbal:

SSTNFO

Single Stage To, not From Orbit. A craft that performs well on ascent, but tends to lose a couple parts on reentry or landing.

OPR - Orbital Parts Repository. A retired craft not designed to withstand reentry, left in orbit because "the parts might be of use to someone". (they never will, it's just your hoarder's nature and sentiment).

HSVL - Horizontal Start, Vertical Landing. You really suck at landing this airplane, so you put a bunch of parachutes on it.

KAScraft - a spacecraft assembled from spare parts off-Kerbin. The geometries involved tend to be  ...unorthodox.
