GoldForest Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Okay, so I've decided to take a more toned-down approach to Super ISS 3. It's basically going to be Lunar Gateway and ROSS on a Supermodule Core. Two cores. Maybe a two supermodules and 1 tuna module (or whatever the small super module is called) to connect the two of them. Still designing it out in my head.

GoldForest Posted June 2 Author Share Posted June 2 Yes, I'm back at this. Sorry for the hiatus again. Supermodule troubles took away my drive to do this project, but after Benjee's return to Habtech and the new 5m parts, I've decided to come back to it. I might even return to SISS 2, using the new 5m parts instead of Supermodule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldForest Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 July 16th, 2029 Sunset on a Titan Core Module Flown by Saturn VIIIB (8B) Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet Kennedy Space Center, Launch Complex 39A, July 16th, 2029, 09:00 AM local time. Crowds gathered around the stands as well as outside the complex. Boats got as close as they could without violating the range safety zone. No one wanted to be the one to scrub this launch. This launch was special. 60 years ago, Kerbals once launched from this historic site on a journey to the Mun. Now, they were going back, to stay this time. The world governments came together to make the Munar Supersized International Space Station project, and this was the first module. Supermodule 3, built specifically for Munar orbit. This behemoth of a space station was the third module produced by the Supermodule team. They went with a more conservative design for number 3, going back to Supermodule 1 in core aspects, but with upgrades to allow it to function in Munar Polar Orbit. 32 minutes away from launch, the nations of the world watched the live broadcast on KerTube, K.com, anywhere that had a live stream up and running. The crowd grew quiet as the KASA Director came to deliver some words to the public. "My fellow Kamericans and people of the world. Today marks a wonderous day. Today, we go back to the Mun. Today, we choose to stay at the Mun. Today, we honor those that went before us. I'll paraphrase the words of a Kerbal long gone. We choose to go to the Mun. We choose to go to the Mun and do the other things in this decade, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." The director took a pause. "Hard. Indeed, it is hard. We remember the crew of Kapollo One. We remember the disaster that struck SISS one. We remember all the brave Kosmonauts of the Krussian Federation. We remember the animals that were lost in the pursuit to prove that we can conquer space. We remember." He took another pause. "I want to thank everyone who has made this program possible. From the engineers of the Kapollo program to the astronauts that flew on these mighty rockets. The rocket you see on the pad is the last of the ole titans. Saturn Eight B. Saved from the scrapheap and upgraded specifically for this mission. She is the last of her kind. The last of an era. For this special launch, we've decided to do something a little different. We'll be playing a song for this launch. You will be the only one to hear it for obvious reasons. All teams, verify procedures and statues. At T-minus seven minutes, we will proceed with the final status check." It seemed like forever, but seven minutes finally rolled around. The team did a go no go poll. Everyone waited with bated breath as they went through the list. Go after Go came, then the final one from the launch director. "You have permission to launch." Cheers roared around the world. The launch would proceed barring any complications. Now was the waiting game for the final minutes. At 2 minutes to go, the speakers blared to life with a song. There were a mix of laughs and cheers as people realized what song it was. At twenty seconds to go, the music was turned down, but not stopped. "Fifteen... fourteen... thirteen... twelve... eleven... ten... nine... eight... seven... six... Go for main engine start... three... two... one." "It's the final countdown." Went off in the song as the 8 mighty F-1Bs roared to life. "Clock is running.... we have liftoff at thirty-two minutes passed the hour! Saturn eight has cleared the tower, beginning roll and pitch program!" Cheers and cries erupted around the world as the mighty Saturn 8 began to slowly lift into the air, gaining momentum. Few minutes later, staging occurred, the 12 J-2S's roared to life. Staging of stage two occurred shortly after. The S-IVF with 2 J-2A-2s would burn direct for the Mun. After burn out, the waiting game began. For four days MSISS would coast to the Mun. After performing an inclination change after entering the Mun's SOI, MSISS performed orbital insertion burn, ending it at 17:21 UTC. "Ladies and gentlemen... we're in orbit around the mun." The call went out across the globe, met with cheers, applause and cries. This marked the beginning of a new era in space flight. A permanent Kerbal presence around the Mun.

Both can get SISS into a Polar Munar Orbit. I mean, Neither Rocket is easy to build. The C-8 would need to be made near the cape... Same with the AJ-260s. The only difference is the AJ-260s DID have a factory and test site on the cape already. the C-8 never did. AJ-260 is **SLIGHTLY** more realistic. C-8 is simpler to build. Flip a coin. Now if you had put 4 156" SRMs on that Saturn V core, probably end up with about the same performance (I recommend the Photon 146" SRM/RSRM with the extra segment) Edited June 3 by Pappystein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next United Kerbin crew will go up in late January aboard a new crew spacecraft. A temporary United Kerbin crew will be aboard SISS when Columbia launches in early January. Hide contents SISS 8: P2 Truss Segment - January 7th, 1990 Flown by Columbia - STS Return to flight of the STS program with Columbia carrying the P2 Truss segment. Columbia lifted off the pad later afternoon. The shuttle had been retrofitted to decrease the weight in the back, installing smaller but still powerful engines for flight. Columbia released her payload when she was close to the station, holding back to allow Aardvark to dock the P2 truss to the truss structure. Afterwards, Columbia docked to the station. This was a momentous occasion, as not one, but two shuttles were docked to SISS right now. Columbia and Buran at once. This was also a test to see if SISS could hold up to the strain of having two large spacecraft at once. Things went well for the first few hours, but only time would tell if SISS was up to the task.

They also bring a temporary PMA that will be discarded when they return to Kerbin. (Also moved LSISS to an equatorial orbit.
