The Space Station design and screenie topic

[Luigibro606]

Nice! My first satellite was an SAS that flew up to 830k then came back down and crashed. Like most of my first satellites.

[RedRockets]

After about a week of development and a destroyed flash drive a new KSP release and the everyday hustle of life in general...

The WorkShops of RedRockets is proud to present...

Orbital denial vehicle!!

(Loosely Based on the CCCP\'s Almaz secret military space station.)

Spare no expense in keeping your orbit clear of all the unwanted new neighbors!

Long term space station!!

Like a nuclear sub only the crew\'s endurance is the limit.

Self recharge fuel tanks; solar powered sensors and cameras, RTG powered living quarters, crew return vehicle (if they last that long), and the best feature twin solid rocket orbital impactor missiles!!

The sequencing is very fidgety watch out!!

A polar orbit is the most realistic mission profile.

The rocket is designed to be flown with very minimal human inputs just like a military missile.

Only in this case it has two people on board.

Use the RCS and the SAS; burn the first two stages top dead center, the next two at 45 degrees as close to due north as you can, then just fire up the orbital motor and wait till apogee and circularize your orbit.

Not meant to start an arms race in space...but....You Feel Lucky Punk? Well Do Ya?

Throw Down!!

What parts do you need? This looks REALLY cool!

Looks like it needs Silisko Edition, Assorted Hardware gimballed mini engine thingies, and that other mod. Forgot it\'s name.

Speaking of Satellites... here\'s a video of me

I don\'t really know if this counts as a space station per-say, but my ACEV drops the Habitation/Service module into a roughly 50km Munar orbit.

Undocking

After thrusting away with RCS.

What parts did you use to make that probe? It looks awesome and I\'d like to test it out.

Vector Station

[Guest Flixxbeatz]

Here\'s my very first

, orbiting at a ~75km roughly circular (<300m difference) orbit. Excuse the size.

Oh Holy Jeb

That looks beautiful! Fantastic attention to detail.

[CarolRawley]

I have a new Defense station! Presenting, the Sunray:

You can see it up top. It has 6 railguns with my custom MIKE rounds. I\'m currently staging the station so it fires in a spiral pattern.

When we get persistence, I\'ll orbit 12 of them in a cross-coverage pattern.

Haven\'t go it into orbit yet, though :-[

Someone finally took your suggestion.

\'Bout time.

So I take it nobody\'s designed a centrifuge-style station yet? For shame.

Now an European Modell my K.S.S. (Keuropean Space Station, if you know a better name please inform me XD)

Start is a little bit complicate XDXDXD

[Luigibro606]

Nice, good work with the solar panels.

[SteevyT]

I was trying to land a bunch of tanks on the Mun to make sort of a Munar fuel depot. Hills are not suitable construction sites.

Here\'s my over-engineered, FPS - killing Space Station 1 in a stable 150x130km orbit (I think, I actually did this some time ago):

[Volt]

Not particularly epic, but I\'m happy with it... even the Intrepid SLS had trouble with orbiting this; I had a 50,000m dip into the atmosphere during orbital insertion but I managed to jump back out long enough to get to Apogee and push my orbit up a bit.

The OWP-1 or Orbital Weapons Platform 1 is a small station that can carry from 1 to 16 Railgun projectiles into orbit. Each of these could be a lump of concrete or a high-impact durable tactical nuclear warhead, depending on how rich your nation is after the mammoth costs of launching this thing. There are provisions on board for two to three Kerbals to stay as long as their arriving spacecraft carries air, water and food for them, as there is barely room for movement next to the huge bundles of wires and silicon that make up the targetting system. The solar panels should rotate to angle themselves to Kerbol as long as you keep them pointing perpendicular to it, but we forgot to install the gyros, so you might have a power problem.

It is not recommended to leave Kerbals on board this station without a lifeboat for any period of time. Symptoms of this may include:

• 
  [li]Crew insanity/Space rage[/li]
  [li]Asphyxiation[/li]
  [li]Fart ignition and subsequent craft conflagration[/li]
  [li]Starvation/Dehydration[/li]
  

Man, this entire topic makes me want to go to Mexico and beat HarvesteR until he promises to include persistence and docking in the next update.

Both of those stations look good.
