SSALAD is a ksp modding adding concepts from the SPS program. The Solar power satellite (SPS) program was a NASA program designed to create Satellites to power the Earth from solar power in Geostationary orbit. Currently this mod is aimed at creating the launch vehicles and crew vehicles envisioned within the concept. Currently the launch vehicles such as the Propane booster and JSC HLLV are available right now.

Looking forward to seeing the final mod

@Lil_Bread402 Thanks for sharing this. It looks nice.

I see BDB listed in dependencies. Is that a hard requirement and your parts won't work without it? Or is it just a soft requirement to use BDB parts in some of your SPS related craft?

Is CryoTanks a hard dependency?

I'm using the mod without BDB and as far as I can tell it all works just fine.

BDB is listed as a dependency because of 1 engine added from BDB. The engine is an Ethalox variant of the F-1 Engine from BDB

currently, yes. In  the future I'd love to make it not a hard dependency though. I just need to change the config to not naturally use certain fuels from CryoFuels

The k key didn't work. :(

Thinking about White HLLV, Payloads, and some recovery options

Finally getting a chance to play this mod, loving the parts so far. I don't have pictures here, but the HLLV doesn't destroy my framerates quite as bad as I thought it would. I'm also glad this exists because I tried making the booster awhile back using procedural parts. But this mod looks way better!

what engine goes in the little slots on the Propane Booster?

For some reason i can't get the PLV to separate without it blowing up the shuttle ET, has any else had this problem?
