ISS (3 launches)

International Space Station

Always thought you would never have the patience to own your own International Space Station in Kerbal Space Program? And all these goodness in under 100 tons and slightly over 600 parts? I had exactly the same problem and solved it, so this is your chance to finally own one! Did I tell you it's completely stock?

How to fly it

Just like all my rockets. straight up to 7.500 meters, start your gravity turn there to 70. Continue rocketing up to 15.000 meters go to 45. As soon as my apoapsis is above 50 I generally point the nose to the horizon, but do whatever you like anyway. I tested the station on 400x400 kilometers but I guess you should be able to circularize on 600.000 as well.

The unrealistic and ugly launch vehicles aside I think it's quite succesful. I might add a 4th launch to it with the cupola and some other details to add to your ISS. Enjoy!

There you go cupola + airlock.. though still WIP.. I accidentally put an RCS truster in front of the window :-/ But this thing is stable: I used to build it from the same components as the real one and it just became one big wobbely mess. Now I can even rotate the whole station towards the Sun if necessary :-)

You finally managed to not take a picture of your screen with your phone but to make a SCREENSHOT! Nice

Would you mind showing some screens of the launch vehicles? I'm curious how you managed to bring that thing into orbit with just 3 launches

Don't tempt me ;-) Feel free to download the crafts they come with launchers, but as i said.. the launchers are terrible but functional:P

Module 1: The Zvezda, Zarya, Node 1 (Nodte 1 should have been the same as Node 2 & 3 though) & Destiny

Module 2: Node 2, PMA-2 , MPLM, CAM, JEM, JEM ELM & JEM EF.

..and a close up of the solar truss
