I follow Historical Progression in a career save. This is my (very incorrect) interpretation of Salyut 1 and Soyuz 11: End result, for now, we moved the tug to one of the front nodes to make way for another Soyuz craft. Wow! Nice mission The improvised Kvant tug is very easy to love. Hopefully I will have TKS modules for you soon. Related... Solar Madness Work continues... The folding animation, I think is one of my favourite things in KSP done so far. The fairings fit very comfortably around the panels, no more odd-Protons! Many thanks @InsaneDruid!

Moiety Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Thanks @Beale Those solar panels looks really promising. Question, which solar panels should I use on the Soyuz capsules. It used to be Tantares.Solar.C (IIRC) but those are no longer with us. Oh, I’m also working on TAC LS support, will make a pull request once it’s a bit more balanced.

Depends if you are making the older 7K-OK ferries, in the case, use body hugging solar panels with pointy bits (T-RYD 1x6R Photovoltaic Panels) Tantares_SolarBasic_1 and 2 If you are making a more modern Soyuz, use the flat solar panels (Apparently also called T-RYD 1x6 Photovoltaic Panels... I should fix that). Tantares_SolarStandard_1 and 2 There are many more differences between old and new, of course, but right now all I have is the different panels. Hope this helps Edited March 3, 2017 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad they are being enjoyed. Sofora Truss Trial Run Before beginning work on the various Kvant truss parts, a little trial run... Lift off in Buran Jr. Blok-V available if we want to go a little further. But we don't. Lusy Kerman constructs the mast like a complete amateur. Good work Lusy. Test fire successful! At this distance from the COM, the roll consumes much less fuel for the same effect. But, we can't really go home like this... Lusy gains some credibility back by doing something right for once time. Back in time for lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moiety Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) @Beale, you’re too good for us . This solves the clipping probe cores under the docking port in a more elegant way. Edited March 3, 2017 by Moiety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not aware of a full list of parts on show anywhere, but I used quite a bit of them in this post. @CaptKordite has a Flickr album with even more parts on show. Hope this helps.

TK-313 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Ow. Ow. Eridani_Crew 1 and 2 gone. Right in the middle of them being in orbit as a starting space station. With kerbals inside. OW.
