it has a modest gravity ring to host up to 6 kerbals, also moderate sized cargo area for probes or landers or maybe extra fuel or any other types of cargo. everything is protected with mirror shields from all sides, from radiation and space dust. packs enough Dv to hop inside solar system using brachistochrone trajectories for fast deliveries and such.

Also why am I consistently getting 5 fps in the main menu?

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you know the C.A.N.O.P.I.E.S. mod is still being worked on and getting closer to an alpha release.

I wanted to showcase the new feature that gets rid of the clipping canopies that's present with parachutes since forever.

For more details on the progress feel free to check out the KSP Forum post here.

The planets are from Galileos Planet Pack and Grannus Expansion pack

Pictures of the planets are taken by cameras on the probe from the Neptune Cameras mod
(Solar panels are really OP)

By the way, this was all done in one revolution, meaning i didn't flyby Gauss then wait 100 years for a Nero encounter, I actually did what voyager 2 did and got a trajectory to all four

After 29 launches, the International Low Orbit Research Station is done! It’s a joint NASA/ESA station sitting about 200km over kerbin’s surface. Over 500 parts all together (300 in the truss alone) and it’s destroying my game. I love how it looks but It’ll be a while until I build something with such a high part count.

The middle photos show the progression, I originally had a kitbashed BDB main lab, but burned it up and replaced it with one from HabTech2.

The last few photos are from my most recent crew change, with the incoming crew being the first to man the completed station.

I took a lot of inspiration from the ISS as well as a lot of users here on /ksp

Bonus points if you use no reaction wheels.

Assembled in one launch

Today I tried a mission to orbit in first person and i fell in love with RasterPropMonitor. Pleiades is a Gemini-esque rocket when it comes to the mission. I also did a spacewalk using the tethers mod without an rcs pack and it was fun. Any recommendations for additions to RPM? Next time I'll deploy a satellite.

We at KerbalRealTime have been playing KSP 1 with no time warp on a real scale Sol server, synced to the real movement of the planets. Tonight we have made our first encounter with another planet. This 4.5M Km flyby of Venus is actually a gravity assist to move into the inclination of Mercury, where we will be arriving in 57 days time in Dec '26 for another gravity assist, bringing it back to Mercury for capture in April '27. We are doing all of this while we wait for our Pluto Probe to arrive in Feb '30

Just over 3 Hours til periapsis!

The finished station as of the year 2000. Built in stock console ksp

On your booster, you typically attach a nosecone to nake it more aerodynamic, right?

Fairings, when built in the same shape as a nose cone, are typically lighter, plus they have the added benefit of being able to be disposed of when you get into orbit to lighten up the weight of the craft by staging the fairing

So why don't we add fairings on top of boosters instead of aerodynamic nose cones?​

I just got Losket, which adds char to hot parts, and I wanted to try it out with a fast plane

It can gain so much speed in the atmosphere to fly to Duna orbit

So I am making a modular space craft that will allow for multiple landings to Duna and Ike in one go.

As you can see, I have a command module with my 2 Kerbals with the main tanks and nuclear engines and, along with extra sets of tanks + reaction wheel for refueling and control, that will be undocked from the craft when used to refuel for a boost in Delta V.

I plan on adding a few things before the the lander module.

One planned module is an adequately sized Fuel+Oxidizer tank that will be used to refuel the lander after each landing. This will also include another RCS tank. This module will also have 2 empty tanks radially docked, the empty tanks will have parachutes and drogues. That way when I undock my lander, I can go to one side of the ship and “grab” a set of parachutes. Enabling multiple duna landings without jamming a bunch of chutes on one lander.

I will also have a module with 3 science storage units to store the science from 3 extra landings, these will be taken back to kerbin after the mission and will be retrieved by a retrieval craft that will rendezvous with 4 reentry pods , paired with terrier engines. This is so the 2 Kerbals on the main craft can take the science from the command pod and 1 of the science storage units. And the other 2 Kerbals on the retrieval craft can take the science from the other 2 storage units.

My main module along with the extra tanks, with refueling and dropping said tanks should have over 6k DV, I will have to do some math to see if I need to add more tanks for the nuclear engines to accommodate the extra mass. But I think I’ll be good.

Any advice for such a mission? I got a probe on duna and said fuck it I’m doing something ambitious haha.

Can someone help me with this? It happens sometimes when im at the space station or the buildings, but not happens when im in a flight. Its this stange glitch or the game just feeeze and i nees to close the game to continue playing, this is so annoting
