A specific parachute was made for Voskhod:

However, in the end this part was identical in dimensions / colour / function to the existing Soyuz parachute. So to prevent redundant parts, the Soyuz chute will just be moved a tech tree node down to live with the Voskhod parts.

I forgot the soyuz chute is flat and has a node... whoops, my bad, sorry.

I read somewhere that if the Soviets had been successful in their moon mission, there would have been a lunakhod that the cosmonaut on the moon could drive.  Probably a partial lawn chair and some joy sticks.  Anyway, here's Bill testing out stuff:

Did some more digging (google image search), and looks like the vostok (and I think the voskhod) had a fairing that went from the service module up, and a separate fairing covering the service module down.  So I did some magic with the Progress SAF, and got this:

Of course since I'm rescaling the Vos's for my porpoises, and I have no idea if you can rescale the SAF fairings with mm patches, I probably won't get to use the Voskhod fairings (if Beale makes them for SAF), but hey, it gets to orbit without special fairings.  The Beale Sphere empire will continue to reign!

that's a very... festive rocket :).

Hopefully there can be some custom fairings for this, still looking into that.

 

 

 

Dev continues, panels can be b9 switched for the upgraded versions, with appropriate mass and EC generation

I'm not sure whether I still have the save from my 19k mission. I was doing a mission report, but my engines experienced catastrophic failures during the lunar transfer burn thanks to Kerbalism (and poor choice of engine by me), and I never got round to redesigning it.

Thanks to a hard drive glitch, I found myself faced with rebuilding the N1-L3 from scratch. I've found that since I finally got the quasi-matryoshka fairings twigged, it's not such an onerous task anymore. Now to pay the screenshot tax.

Woohoo!

There's also a litlle bug I've noticed, not sure if it's a mod conflict or something, but every time the the Kvant 2 airlock is reloaded, all attached parts are rotated 45°

Great build!

Unfortunately I cannot replicate such a bug, not sure what could cause that.

Getting very close to completion now, just a few more things.

Various cleanups and localisations

There's an issue with the new telescope and a few issues with fgb colliders I 'm already aware of.

By the way, I have started, and I maybe even will finish, a separate side project.
