Yeah, I was gonna do Minotaur, but the parts don’t really exist. There was one guy who had a mod for it, but he hasn’t responded to my DM’s. Next up is Expedition 7, P2 Truss, Expedition 8 and then the Centrifuge Gravity Laboratory. I’m currently taking a short break to work on other things tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNES has everything else 8 hours ago, billbobjebkirk said: Or maybe with fairings? Im sorry, but definitely not. I don’t enjoy things like Stock replicas that are made with fairings. They just don’t look good at all. I think the best option is probably just to skip it out. It’s not a major module to the station, or a crew flight, so I’m mission out like the AARDV’s. There are loads of AARDV flights, probably like 1 a month, but A- they aren’t documented on the mission list, B-There’s so many it’ll get boring. Same with Minotaur. When the AARDV block II parts come out in BDB, I’ll probably make an AARDV mission, and if the guy gets back to me with the Minotaur, I’ll make that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ra4nd0m Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 A quick question. How do you plan to launch kibo and exposed facility? On two seperate M02s or in stack on H03? If on separate launches will exposed facility recive OMS or will there be a tug to deliver it? Also it was not quite clear to me how do you moved z00 truss from challenger front port to the top of the module? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it was not quite clear to me how do you moved z00 truss from challenger front port to the top of the module? Okay, let me answer question 2 first. In actual ETS, the S0 truss was on the top of Challenger anyway. When I started this recreation, I wasn’t very good and cut corners. The bad truss I was using at the time didn’t fit, so I stuck it on the top. The truss I use now would have fit horizontally like in ETS Then about the Kibo Exposed Facility. It fits in the fairing of an M02. It’s that simple lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmateurAstronaut1969 Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 Freedom Expedition 6 April 1990 It's crew rotation time again, a common trend here on Freedom, with two cycles of crew's each spending 6 months on the Station. This time, It's Expedition 4's turn to return to Earth, with Expedition 6 replacing it on the Station. Block IV CSM Frontier Sits atop it's Saturn M02 booster, awaiting launch in a few hours The Crew of Expedition 6 consists of: -Commander Cobalt Kerman -CSM Pilot Rhode Kerman -Mission Specialist Toast Kerman -Mission Specialist Joseph Kerman -Mission Specialist DG Kerman (ESA) Toast Kerman also plays an Important part in the Future of Freedom, as he is one of the Engineers trained to ready the P1 Truss for the docking of the next section, the P2 Truss. Launch Complex 39A, Late afternoon Fuelling Finishes on the Saturn, and the crew are readied to board Frontier. Also hitching a ride on this launch are two old Apollo Lunar Subsatellites, retrofitted to monitor earth's magnetic field. Crew arm retraction F1-A Ignition and Launch Commit Liftoff!
