IP CTC-B JAL

Interplanetary Crew Transport Craft B variant, soft landing capable, Jet Assisted Launch.

Delivers 6 Kerbals anywhere in the kerbol system, usually to an orbiting station for further transfer into a lander, re-fuels at said stations to operate fixed routes between LKO Station Alpha and Stations around other planets/moons. Is soft-landing capable in atmosphere but it's not part of it's normal mission parameters. B spec is launched using SABREs in jet mode during most of the ascent to save on fuel, A spec is the same craft launched using conventional external rocket boosters.

Senior port on the back and radial regular port, senior port used to attach to the front of larger assemblies in orbit to act as a command module.

IP KM-O + LPO SA

Interplanetary Kethane Miner OrbCraft + Low Planetary Orbit Station Alpha.

Self propelling planetary station and kethane miner, station empty while lander has enough fuel to push the assembly anywhere in the kerbol system and then detach to mine kethane and return to fill the station, station has 2 senior ports and 4 normal ports, used as a hub for personnel transports, material transports and re-fueling station for interplanetary missions. Kethane miner has 2 micro-landers for surface conditions scouting, re-attaches to the big lander before ascent. Both launched on top of large KW asparagus launchers, both launched empty or partially empty to fuel up in LKO. Miner has been to Minmus and back to LKO to stock up on fuel on it's own.
