togatown Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I present the Kerbal Orbital Space Station (KOSS):Chris would you be willing to share the craft files for this? Want to practice orbital assembly and this looks perfect for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripzter Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Oh its on baybay. Part count 597 tons.Here is my "build" thread from day 1 to the final build stage with tons of pics. To clear things up i only completed it because lag was getting too intense.http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/45602-Tripzter-Space-Station-%28Evolution-and-completion%29-Image-heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex_NL Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 K-Nor 3Build in orbit as a single piece.450*450km equatorial orbit.Maximum 145 Kerbals.Docked to one of the upper pylons is a Runabout evacuating carrying 8 Kerbals.(In the past I've build much, much bigger stations but those where all made up of a few dozen parts.)

zavdan62 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The criteria of this challenge are to...1. Create a space station with a minimum crew of 10.2. Not have more than 6 different ships that make up your space station.3. The station must orbit at over 120,000 meters in altitude.4. One of the 6 craft must be a escape pod (i.e. a spaceplane) in order for at least 1 Kerbal to return.The rest is up to you, the winner will be decided by me, in order for you to win you must submit at least 1 good picture of the craft(s). Bon chance mon amis!gtruslersend pictures to [email protected] or post them.well you need to fit and save all 10 so that is what the craft has to carry:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihtoit Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Here's one I built earlier. Four launches to deploy, it was eventually scrapped as the part count/lag was getting ridiculous.https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1185311_327777404024930_544608672_n.jpgOrbital mass: 425 tons (fully fueled, and yes it's missing a few engines - couple mishaps with space debris ) (plus one spaceplane at 4.7 tons)Hence, surface thrust-to-weight ratio (Kerbin): 1.75 (not enough to get it off the ground!)Crew capacity: 28 (current complement: 29 incl. 1 spaceplane pilot)Power: capacities:LOX: 33.6KTFuel: 27.5KTMonopropellant: 8.7KTMax. Electrical Output: 57.7KWPart Count: 867Orbital mechanics:Apoapsis: 151.2kmPeriapsis: 149.5kmPeriod: 36m13sInclination: 0.1 degreeOrientation: 0.0 mark 0 (North, nose to polar horizon)I will be giving it another go (and yes, I WILL be using the Luvodicus "cheaty" nuclear engine!), this time round with hopefully fewer parts to try and mitigate the lag problem.Oh, here was one I built as a single stage launcher in June. She was BIG. No crew beyond what I could dock to her though; she mysteriously exploded midway through an approach manoeuvre.https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1077882_321133874689283_2062982844_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
advil Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 well you need to fit and save all 10 so that is what the craft has to carry:mad:4. One of the 6 craft must be a escape pod (i.e. a spaceplane) in order for at least 1 Kerbal to return.If you look at his space station it's obvious there are windows all around which would imply that these are personnel space rather than fuel. His docked ship is capable of carrying 8X the number of Kerbals the rules clearly state is needs to. Thanks by the way for re-posting them so I didn't have to go back to page 1. I will, however point out that the screenshot doesn't actually show any crew so considering this is obviously a craft of mod parts, perhaps he should provide some proof that there are sentient life forms aboard? I'm not even in this competition, I just hate seeing people being poor sports splitting hairs like this. You are not prepared to enter a competition unless you are prepared to be outdone and congratulate those who outdo you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kablooey Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I’ve build this station during my first career game in KSP 0.24. Its purpose was the completion of various Station Science contracts - e.g. study animals/kuarqs/plants in orbit of Kerbin/Mun/Minimus etc… Therefore, I decided to build a station which is easy to steer (with robust connections and the center of mass barely in the center of station) and provides all basic parts of the Station Science mod. The deployment of the station in Kerbin orbit (200km AP 176km PE) took me four launches plus one for the experiments.After completing its mission at Kerbin I transferred the station to Mun and Minimus which required additional launches to attach an engine module. It may be not the largest station but quite a nice one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat2ch Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I'd like to enter, too, with this:http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/29533-What-did-you-do-in-KSP-today?p=2153370&viewfull=1#post2153370150x150 orbit, space for 102 Kerbals, but only 12 allowed, due to rescue pod limitations ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jim Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) OK, I think this one qualifies: Terrapin Station Mk-IIShe is fully automated, but can house 80, plus 2 researchers in the central lab. And the shuttle can carry 5. She's in a keostationary orbit (2,869km) above the KSC. Oh, and there are four extended docking ports, so even my biggest ships can dock safely.Her stats are (including the shuttle)Electric 17,500Liquid fuel 25,660Oxidizer 16,500Monopropellant 3368Ore 3000Mass 385.88I now have 4 of these stations, each over a major planet, with lighting to match. But the one over Kerbin has an escape shuttle, so I'm entering that one. Edited August 24, 2015 by Just Jim forgot a stat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
