KSP OHP- Orbital Habitation Program

[Jeb42]

Constructing space stations has around the Mun and Kerbin has always fascinated me. I decided to document my new project, the Orbital Habitation Program. I'll be detailing construction of the station, supply missions and the likes of that.

First, a confession. I use Mechjeb to perform orbital manoeuvres , as I don't have enough time to manually plot intercepts and the likes.

The ships

Celestia

The backbone of the OHP, the Celestia is a three-man pod designed for crew transfers and supply missions. It consists of a Soyuz-style service module, and a descent pod consisting of 3. I've used this ship many times before, and has a flawless safety record.

Delta-V Heavy Lifter

Based off the Celestia launch vehicle, the heavy lifter is used to send up the major parts of the station modules into space. Payload at the top is just a dummy, it can be adapted to carry a wide range of cargo into orbit.

Planned Missions

Celestia Missions

1. Achieve orbit with full crew and test systems
   
2. Test autonomous flight
   
3. Deliver first crew to OHP Station
