SPACE STATIONS! Post your pictures here

[Captain Sierra]

I had a rather large station back in .20, but it got lost in the transition to .21. I'm currently working on rebuilding it.

IKOS - International Kerbal Orbital Station

The two large spaceplanes docked toward the head of the station are emergency escape SSTO's capable of deorbiting to Kerbin and landing at KSC or escaping to my Mun base.

I think this one is my favorite, not because of the station, which is nice, but because of all the other stuff that goes with the station (planes, a cargo thingie with the DROMOMAN robotic arms, awesomeness).

Updated my radio dish array. Now uses over 140 fewer parts, making the FPS manageable again. YAY!

This is what it was:

And now here is what it is:

The empty arm will be my fuel resupply arm. I have not yet begun to design that stage, but it will come eventually. I have to re-design, and re-do the habitat modules. My OCD will not leave them backwards from each other. And, I've got a few different ideas I want to try anyway.

I have to re-design, and re-do the habitat modules. My OCD will not leave them backwards from each other. And, I've got a few different ideas I want to try anyway.

I fixed this today. Two launches, minor tweaks to the design. I like it better this way, and it fixes the problem of the habitat cans not being lined up with each other. Eventually a 3rd will go up, but I want to do my fuel arm next. Trying to keep the part count down so that it remains useable, always.

Currently, room for 26. Staffed by only 12 to keep it comfortable. Plans to expand to 38 capacity. Probably will keep concurrent Kerbals onboard to a max of 20. Probably 18.

I really like the Stayputnik probe cores

[Fleb]

Cool thread guys. Some really awesome stations. Heres my current Station, I named it Gateway station.

It's just the hab module at the moment, theres room for 130, not too sure what I am going to add just yet.

What it took to get it into space, barely.

Started making my refueling arm. Going to try some things differently with attachment points. We'll see if it works or if I end up scrapping this arm and starting over.

My first space station was smashed to pieces when I accidentally deleted a mod I thought I didn't use any longer, so I restarted the endeavor. I've got to say I'm happy that happened, because this space station turned out so much better.

It is heavily inspired by the ISS, but not necessarily a recreation of it.

Here's what I've been up to while waiting for remotetech. Surprisingly smooth framerate on my laptop

got linky to work

Lost in the recent update. Time to re-design a few bits, then to re launch.

[Enigma179]

Named my station the Artemis Space Station.

Didn't realize the problem with that until three days later.

There's a ship docked there at the moment, but this image is a bit out-dated; added an orange tank for re-fueling along with some other stuff recently.

Here's my screenshots, some from a previous save, but using the same craft files for the most part.

Kerbal Station 1 under construction:

I'm using it as a refuelling point and Kerbal storage centre. The ship currently docked is filling up before continuing on its journey to Eve.

Just finished my first space station. I named it Infinity and it's a multi purpose station (science and refueling).

Almost 500 parts keeping my GPU busy. ^^

[kola2DONO]

Wow all thoose awesome space stations makes me remember how freaking noob i am.. lol

[BananaDealer]

Dear SQUAD, could you please stop it with the save-sensitive updates? I'd like to at least try to rebuild the original Hades Station before you blast it out of the sky again, thank you...

I just put this into orbit today. It is my first space station, and this is only the "core" part with space for the kerbals. I'm working on the fuel depot now, and Ill see about getting some EVA vehicles up there for tugs and stuff.

After getting tired of simplistic space stations that worked effectively and had a purpose, I just decided to make one that looks cool. So behold, the Entity 2 space station!

[egreSS]

Spherical Tank's (Can be launched empty) 4LOF 6Mono configuration with explosive decouplers on each section, should the kraken strike during a botched docking procedure. (For ****s and giggles - F9 is your friend)

I have the same configuration around Mun and Duna. The one in Laythe is still under construction.

This was my previous attempt at a fuel depot but proved too prone to space seisures

Ladies and gents, I give you Space Station Beta:

Javascript is disabled. View full album

I used Fustek, FustekX, KW Rocketry and KSPX to build this thing.

Space station Alpha was moved to a 200 km Munur orbit after the completion of Space Station Beta. The last 2 pics show the refuler craft filling up the RCS tanks. The first crew is expected to arive tomorrow!

[Agent86]

This is my latest project, Vital Station.

93 tonnes, 295 parts, orbiting at 150km with three SSTO planes docked. More pics of the SSTO here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/33312-Showcase-SSTO-s!-Post-your-pictures-here/page30#295

Each of the three is slightly different, the one with the intakes where the rocket nosecones were is the latest optimized one.

What mod are the 2.5m connecter hubs from?

Also, I just put a transfer station up around them Mun for operations between my low altitude recieving station and my high altitude fueling station. I'll get some pics up later.

[GDJ]

Great space stations guys and gals! You all have given me some ideas for mine.

I'll post my Dragon based station core here soon.

They look like either manually resized (rescaleFactor) Rockomax Hubmax Multi-Point Connector's or the ones out of the Mobius Rocketworks pack (which are the same thing).
