June 2034: An Energia Rocket Took off from the Wideawake international spaceport for beginning the construction of a Lunar International Space Station.
After 5 days of trip, the LISS core; a DOS-Class station like Zvezda (DOS 8) and Voskhod (DOS-9, this last, the core of the World Space Station, which is being assembled at this moment) fired the DM2-M stage engine attached to itself for putting in a 150 km * 150 km * 45º orbit.
While it occurs on the moon, an ATV took off from Kourou CSG. The ATV will be the propulsive module for the LISS.

6 days after launch of ATV, it rendezvoused with the LISS. ATV used 2 days for doing some complicated maneuvers for matching both orbital plane and phasing angle with the LISS.
Before docking, LISS jettisoned the DM2-M tug... It only has just 40 kilos of fuel, just for a cool deorbiting. It was a good tug, and later, an excelent impactor. :speakcool:
The ATV docked in the frontal door first, 12 hours later, a transposition maneuver made by the LISS, allowed the placing of the ATV in its definitive place: the aft dock.
Now, August 5 2034, the first manned mission to the LISS begun: a Proton-M KVRB took off from the launch complex 81/24 in Baikonur, Kasakhstan from begining an epic adventure
