SLS Parts Pack

[SpaceLaunchSystem]

DISCLAIMER: I know that there are multiple (WIP) SLS projects. This request if different. I have noticed that many of the SLS projects are complicated, requiring multiple mods with hundreds of parts. I am requesting a SLS that is somewhat simplified, and requires only one folder to be added to your GameData.

Hello, SpaceLaunchSystem here. The SLS is by far my favorite launch vehicle (as you can probably tell by my username). My request for a SLS mod would include the whole rocket family, from the initial 70t version to the evolved 130t version. It would include all the parts necessary to build these launch vehicles, as well as the Orion MPCV. I envision this mod to be more realistic than stockalike, but still look at home with the stock parts.

Here is my envisioned parts list:

Core Stage

- Core stage fuel tank (5m)

- RS-25 Engine Cluster (5m)

SRBs (70t/130t SLS)

- Radial SRB Decoupler (radial)

- SRB Separation Nose Cone (2.5m; includes separation motor)

- Basic SRB (70t SLS; 2.5m)

- Advanced SRB (130t SLS; 2.5m)

Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (70t SLS)

- ICPS Interstage (5m to 3.75m)

- ICPS tank assembly (Includes upper (3.75m) and lower (3.5m) tanks)

- RL-10B2 cryogenic engine (3m)

Large Upper Stage (130t SLS)

- LUS Interstage (5m)

- LUS tank assembly (Includes upper (5m) and lower (4.5m) tanks)

- RL-10C2 engine cluster (4.5)

Fairings (130t SLS)

- 5m Fairing base

- Fairing nose cone

- Fairing side panel

(fairing would be assembled in much the same way as the ones from KW Rocketry)

Orion MPCV

- Orion Crew Module (3.75m)

- Orion Service Module (3.75m; built in RCS and Solar Panels)

- Orion Main Engine (3.75m)

- Orion Main Engine Adapter (3.75m)

- Orion SM Fairing (attaches to nodes on the Main Engine adapter)

- Orion Boost Protective Cover (2.5m top, 3.75m bottom)

- Orion Launch Abort System (2.5m)

- NASA Docking System/Parachutes (2.5m; goes on top of Orion; compatible with stock clamp-o-tron and FusTek IACBM)

Most of the SLS parts are already in stock as the 3.75m parts, but I wouldn't mind the 4m and 5m parts from SLS. I really like large parts for my launchers.

There are a couple of SLS mod packs currently under development. Google is your friend.
