Mercury, Gemini & Apollo Approximations (Modded)

In this thread I will share my attempts to rebuild Mercury, Gemini and Apollo "likish" designs. Some are close to be replicas, some just share the common early US Space Craft style.

Vessel links lead to KerbalX (respectively my KerbalX Hangar) and contain all needed and useful data, such as used mods and AG specifications. Each vessel may have different mod-dependencies.

 

Kerpollo-Jool I (Apollo-Saturn IB)

Kerpollo-Jool II (Apollo-Saturn V (payload lifter))

Kerpollo-Jool II with MEM (Apollo-Saturn V with LEM)

If ye wanna, feel free to give 'em a try and share your opionion on those vessels.

Updated the rockets (MEM now stages in correct sequence, all of the rockets now shut down stage-1-engines, when abort AG is triggered) and uploaded MEM and CSM as additional separate files.

Kerpollo MEM (Apollo LEM)

Spoiler

 

Kerpollo CSM w/LES (Apollo CSM)

Spoiler

Both using:

• FASA
• Hullcam VDS Continued

Feel free to tell me if I missed something or if you encounter any design flaws.

Next will be some Mercury stuff.

Kercury-Little Kerb (Mercury-Little Joe)

Uses:

• FASA
• Making History DLC

It uses liquid fuel instead of solid fuel as main propellant, which is historically inaccurate. Still a good start for the Kercury Program, I think.
