LKO challenge

[Dimetime35c]

Okay here is the challenge

Create a space station that orbits in the lowest possible orbit.

Rules

Station must maintain orbit and hold its orbit. Ie not falling back after X number of orbits.

Ap and Pe must be as close as equal as possible. No Pe of 70k and Ap of like 500k.

Any # of parts can be used as well as any part based mods.

NO physics mods or gravity hacks allowed.

Finally station must be able to be docked with and must be able to stay in its orbit while ships are docked.

Entries must have screenshot of the orbit map and screenshot of station at Ap and Pe.

Winner will be be decided based on lowest orbit.

How do you define 'space station' ?

Please clarify X, if it's to be outside the atmosphere then there's a limit to how low it can go, at which point this doesn't feel like much of a challenge.

So, just a 69x69 orbit? ok

*builds push motor for existing space station*

Easy enough.

I have a space ctation, but it'll be pretty useless on such a low orbit. What's the point of having station so low?

[Synapse]

"Station must maintain orbit and hold its orbit. Ie not falling back after X number of orbits."

Yeah, this is somewhere between 65,000 and 70,000m. I think all orbits deteriorate below 70k.

Well, according to wiki, atmosphere starts at 69 ,077km. Anything higher won't fall.
