SPACE STATIONS! Post your pictures here

[AlamoVampire]

she is not much to look at, but, this is my second station, I had to deorbit its predecessor before launching this one. basically the same station as the first, with 2 changes, 1 its 2 of the same core and this one lacks docking ports on the hatches for EVA/Crew Transfer abilities. Kerbal International Space Station:

primary core are the hitchhiker modules 2 each with a lander can in the middle with 2 truss's coming off with solar panels. 1 section has a heavy RCS tug and 2 large fuel tanks and a cupola. each core is rotated 90 degrees off the other

[jscheiben]

this is the one i've been working on, is currently 464 parts and growing, 200km orbit;

[Sadgeras]

KSS SkyGate

Currently in progress : 1200 km orbit.

[mellojoe]

Don't know if I've posted this yet or not:

Jool of the Skies

She has room for 6, but only 3 crew at anyone time for comfort reasons.

And here she is with a resupply vessel attached:

Ressupply can return home safely, so that crew transfers can take place. 3 onboard at any one time, and room for 3 in the resupply craft.

KSS SkyGate

Currently in progress : 1200 km orbit.

if you dont mind my askin, why such a high orbit?

[Sadgeras]

I find that below 1000 km is too close of kerbin. I have a lot of debris xD. Excuse my English, i'm french ^^

[ZodiaK]

This is what i'm currently working on. say hello to the ZOLA!

ZodiaK Orbital LAbratory, that is.

ZodiaK. Nothing more to say, really.

Updated Space Station "K3" Been thinking of putting one around the Mun???

Mun Station "K4" up and running :-) http://i.imgur.com/FPR3Wp8.png

Created a different type of space station (EX-Station): http://i.imgur.com/s7MN0Ib.png Fully functional - 109 Max population.

I have not done craft files yet. Where is a good place to go to create the files (w/o signing up for service)?

Included a view of the basic space truck vehicle. Powered by 6 mainsail engines (drop 2 at a time) and one center skipper engine.

The "truck" is quite a workhorse around the orbit of kerbin. Add a sphere fuel tank and it refuels most of my crafts in orbit around Kerbin.

Note:I set the skipper to fire at stage 3. This add enough boost to get it into orbit to complete whatever mission is assigned to it. Engine run sequence 6, 4, 3, and then 1. For heavy loads one could add to top booster tanks and add solid boosters to bottom and outside of booster tanks. A very adaptable craft :-)

K3 update & Truck View

[Dimetime35c]

Hey can I have the craft file for your re supply ship? I'd like to turn it into a tug/RCS craft. Tried to make one from the pic but can't match it right.

[SaturnV]

My full stock (except MJ thing) station, with control center, fuel supply, living quarters, science module, docking bridge and 4 workers (Tadple-22D)

365 parts (including workers), 285t in total (196t fuel)

[cathasatail]

Here's what happens if you don't plan a station properly - HMS Cromwell, new modules added as and when I thought of them with very little regard for framerate.

My oh my, what a fabulous design. I notice a hint of the ISV Venture Star! Maybe, one day! Also, that shuttle you have on the bottom left looks rather like a valkyrie shuttle, I wish i could make such a station without my frame rate getting shot down as well :3

[Voli]

Finally have my Space Station fully completed. Besides from my interplanetary space vehicle ofc.

I've unoriginally named it the World Space Station.

Took inspiration from the ISS, and WSS that is in the movie Mission to Mars.

Apologies in advance for the size of the pictures.

Started to lag a little for me 2 modules ago.

I wish the giant Ring span

Which addon has those rings?

[Haze-Zero]

Which addon has those rings?

Its the Wayland Corp Rings, he is using the 20meter one. He did quite a bit to spice up the look.

[Captain Sierra]

That isn't a wayland ring. That is a ring built with stock parts, or so it appears in the pic. Building a stock or otherwise non-single-part ring is actually pretty damn hard. I have killed many a kerbal trying to launch a manned station core that used a ring.

My KSS : Cherubim

[Wyrmshadow]

I've had a lot of problems adding mods. This station took 63 crashes to build.

I've had to stop this one and go onto smaller stations because things would get soooo slow.

[SpaceVolvo]

From the DPRK (democratic people's republic of Kerea), I bring you New Pyongyang, unfortunately, a quicksave loading error caused me to lose the docking module on the right, which I'm now attempting to replace with a solar array (if mechjeb will ever let me target the damn clamp o tron port, several crashes have gone into building this station). Room for 14 crew, featuring a Shenzou 99 orbital vehicle, a Ryugyong habitat module, and a Koyro 1 high capacity living quarters/emergency return module, featuring landing legs, a hitchhiker module and mk 2 lander can, parachutes, and detachable engine and docking module. Plans for a Mun Base to be named New Kaesong will be announced shortly.

[Bartybum]

KSS SkyGate

Currently in progress : 1200 km orbit.

Which mod pack are those plant-growing modules from?

[Flyerken]

Well, I'm pretty new to KSP. But I have been busy building my first station.

It does not really have a use at the moment. I just did it because it was fun. I cost me 14 launches to get this thing in orbit. The middle section is rotating. Suggestions are welcome

Some of my space Stations:

My Munar orbiting kethane refueling depot. ~130 KL of Kethane and ~48 KL of Rocket fuel mix.

Kerbin orbiting space station. transitioned to the next station and remaining part deorbited or used for targeting practice

First attempt at a drydock. Not the most structurally sound vessel. but she got up there and thats what counts.

And the crown jewel of my station armada. 6 launches to get everything correct. my attempt at the ISS. holds ~30 crew, not necessarily comfortably

MAKO Space Corporation's - Mako Space Station

(using a few FusTek station modules)

I promise you, that ring is the Wayland Corp 20m Ring with like a buncha stock fuselages stuck around it. I have replicated something very close to that ring for myself.

[Bill Zarr]

Got my first station mostly finished. Still has space for a science module and 4 more jumbo tanks. Currently 259 parts (not including the 2 docked ships).

[Oddbin]

How did you dock the habitation pod with the aerial and antenna on top?

How good are the two small tugs for shifting loads?
