International Space Station Evangeline - A More Modern and Larger ISS [Sunshine Over Lunoxia TL]

[MYKori_Rosales]

INTRODUCTION

Hello there, I am the creator of my upcoming AH Timeline "Sunshine Over Lunoxia," and this would be my first Mission Topic in the KSP Forums...

So why don't I try to make an AH timeline aspect of myself? But first, however, you can take a look at a bit of history in this nowhere-to-be-completed lore document here. As you can see, the POD for this timeline of mine that I've created revolves around the Maynilakyonese Association - if Colombia stretched from the Siberian Mountains to the Caribbean Islands and was the largest, most diverse, and most powerful country in this TL. 

Enough for some backstory, I decided to get it done with it all! 

Where Are We?

As of now, I only have two weeks of my school before my mid-term break this December, so maybe during the break, I can be able to make it most of the effort during my school break.

Mods I've Used:

My Modlist wont be final throughout the story, so there might be some changes
(Note: I'm on a computer that balances performance between minimal impact to high effort, so some mods are excluded to prevent my game from crashing.)

But here they are! (As of December 3, 2024):

Inspirations:

I would like to @GoldForest, and @AmateurAstronaut1969, for their original works right here:

But... As well as a bunch of other timelines I've got to make my AH Timeline!

UPDATE: December 17, 2024

Hi guys! Sorry for the slightly long halt of the mission reports, I currently wanted to install Parallax Continued, but unfortunately, I have some installation issues (even though I did read the installation instructions). So in the meantime, I have to keep myself with the Parallax 2.0 Mod. But another problem is that the performance of my PC is kinda bulked and while working on the launch of the Supermodule Concordia, my game crashed. So in the meantime, I'll try my best to not make it crash as long as possible! Happy Holidays!

Ladies and Gentlemen... We're finally here:

MISSION 1: CONCORDIA SUPERMODULE - September 2, 2006

FLOWN ON A JUPITER-III DIRECT

After a few years of manufacturing and designing the Supermodule Concordia, It was ready and decided that it would be launched on a Jupiter-III Shuttle-Derived Launch Vehicle (SDLV), at that time, SDLVs like the Jupiter-III were popular in serving payloads and their respective missions. But for a Jupiter-III, they said it was the most Kerbal-looking rocket due to the number of SRBs and a pair of External Fuel Tanks from the Space Shuttle it has. Nonetheless, the Jupiter-III rolled out of the VAB and would begin its mission, launching on Launch Complex 39A, where the former Apollo and Current Space Shuttle missions were launched.

Mission Profile:

Never build something you can't launch... well, NASA, unfortunately, didn't follow this common advice several times when they launched a few supermodules like Concordia. For the flight plan, the Jupiter-III would follow regular launch procedures and be inserted into a low insertion orbit (150x150km) carrying the Concordia Supermodule. Once in LEO, the upper stage would maneuver sideways to make it aligned with the Baikonur Space Center for future missions and launches from the Sovereign Union.

Supermodule Concordia roared to life by late morning at the KSC.

 

Jupiter-III awaiting for launch, at T-Minus 1 Hour

"Coming up on a go for auto-sequence start in ten seconds"

[...]

"And we have a go for auto-sequence start, Onboard Computers have primary control

of all the vehicle's critical functions T-minus twenty-two seconds"

 

"Ten Seconds"

[...]

"We have a go for Main Engine Start.. six, five, four, three, two, one.."

 

"Booster Ignition and Liftoff of Space Station Evangeline As we continue to

Expand our presence in Space"

 

"Two Thousand Miles per hour, Altitude one mile, downrange three-and-a-half miles

from the Kennedy Space Center"

 

"All systems remaining go for Evangeline"

[...]

"Altitude seven miles [...] Speed sixteen-hundred miles per hour... Downrange eight miles

from the Kennedy Space Center"

 

"Altitude nineteen miles"

[...]

"Speed three thousand five-hundred miles per hour.. already twenty-five miles

northeast of the Kennedy Space Center"

 

"Booster Officer confirms the clean separation of the two solid rockets... Jupiter-III's engines

now powering the first stage"

 

"Good Aerocover Caps Separation"

[...]

"Speed now fifty-one hundred miles an hour, altitude sixty miles.. downrange ninety miles

from Kennedy Space Center"

"Standing by for Main Engine Cutoff"

[...]

"Booster Officer confirms Main Engine Cutoff"

 

"First Stage Separation Confirmed"

[...]

"We've received significant damage from the First Stage and we've realized that the Second Stage wasn't functioning!"

"Fortunately, there's enough fuel on the Third Stage, so we'll get it over there."

"Payload Separation Confirmed"

[...]

"Third Stage Ignition Confirmed"

 

"Third Stage Separation Confirmed"

[...]

"Station Evangeline is now in orbit on its own"

 

[Switchover to Mission Control at Goddard, MD]

"Good Solars, Good power output"

"All Systems report nominal readings, Station's now entering the dark side of the Earth"

Post-Flight Analysis:

- Now the Largest Operational Station as of 2006

- Is now related to other supermodule-derived space stations such as ISS Nova Stella, Freedom-3, and ISS Polaris

- First Superheavy payload launched out of the United States

- First Wide-Diameter Station of the 21st Century since Skylab, Skylab-B, Olympus, and Olympus-B

 

Though Earth's moons landing plans are still there with the required hardware to do so, it somewhat took a backseat in favor of expanding U.S. presence in Low Earth Orbit to eventually serve as a staging area for future Posoo, Lunar, Aeurian, Oxylus, Physis, Lilithian missions, and potentially Other Interplanetary missions

 

A new program for Station Resupply Missions is well underway, inviting multiple private companies to participate as well with their proprietary hardware under the name Advanced Commercial Resupply Services [ACRS-1]. Initial contenders are:

- Boeing Space Division

- Rocketplane Limited, Inc [Kistler]

- Lockheed Martin Subsidiary

- Rockwell Aerospace Incorporated [Branch of Rockwell International]

Other International Partners will provide their resupply programs, mostly JAXA, HADSA, Sovocosmos, MNEA, ESA, FBSA, and their subsidiary companies

 

Well... Thank you all for your patience and it would be helpful to respect my works!
