Yes

Below is a sample Product Information card. The plan is to make one of these for each craft file, with varying amounts of information depending on the complexity of the vehicle:

Did you change the product information card or am I going insane?

Is the Orion capsule going to have its own IVA at any point in the future?

[Budgie]

Yepp, though there are bigger concerns on Yanfret and his team's plate right now, I think. That's a further future goal

Dear Esteemed Chaka Monkey Exploration Engineers,

We, your most steadfast and loyal customers at Voidryder's Aerospace appreciate this most novel idea of "product cards." Our flight crew training instructors also considered "cards" such as these attached to control panels. Price of paper and ink was found to be prohibitive. Is cheaper to replace flight crews.

Sincerely,

The Grand Designer,

Voidryder's Aerospace

Post script: Will there be collector editions of product cards?

[YANFRET]

â–² hahaha for sure!

Actually great timing I stopped by to show you guys this new product card and ask if you feel the instructions are sufficient.

PS:

As requested the Station Core X pattern arrays are back, with some added lighting enhancements as well:

I think the instructions are clear

[Voidryder]

Dear Brilliantly Innovative Chaka Monkey Exploration Engineers,

In sincere response to your request for critical feedback on instructional product card, we, your most staunch and appreciative customers at Voidryder's Aerospace ran the supplied instructional product card through the most vigorous and expert testing. We asked our secretary pool to read card and then fly simulated Duna Return to Orbit missions. All eighteen secretaries successfully completed missions following instructional product card. All eighteen secretaries were immediately promoted to Duna prime flight crews. Previous Duna prime flight crews are now studying typing and shorthand.

Sincerely,

The Grand Designer,

Voidryder's Aerospace

Will this mod be compatible with TAC-Life Support? (I'm sorry if that is a dumb question, I don't understand how mod compatabilities work)

[YANFRET]

With the previous version we indeed added TAC support support, although I think I need to update the MM scripts a bit

Now that I see it, may I ask why your SLS has 5 engines?

[Arcturusvfx]

Its a re purposed Ares from bobcats american pack, essentially the same the thing as the sls.

[YANFRET]

A brand new four engine core stage model is being manufactured at the NOS Technologies assembly facility

And we have proof because here is a picture from inside the factory:
