Tiangong 3 orbital station 2013-06-15

tg3.jpg



Standalone addon simulating Tiangong 3, a station planned for launch in 2015 and which will be the core block of the proposed Chinese Space Agency station. According to information available, the core module will be very similar to a Zvezda module (see picture enclosed in this folder). 
 
As I understand it the Tiangong-3 planned for launch in 2015 will be a station in its own right but also a tryout for the Chinese Orbital Station from 2020, as it will serve as core block for that larger station. Whether this core block will be the TG3 reused (only 5-7 years old at that time) or a new unit, not clear at present.

So I took the Zvezda by Jekka with VC interior by 4th rock and modded it to represent the new station.
Most of the work was done by these two authors, I only tweaked it to make it look more in line with the existing Shenzou/Tiangong addons, by borrowing textures for panels and dock ports from the CMSP v1.5 addon and pasting them in. I also put on a flag and a logo. 
 
I also converted it from spacecraft3 format to dll and then patched it for the latest UMMU to avoid bugs. Tested, the Ummu excursions work fine and a list of real taikonaut names is included. 
 
Based on (but not requiring) addons by:
 
Jekka - J-Zvezda   http://www.orbiterfrancophone.com/index.php?disp=addons&id=33
4th rock - Zvezda interior VC http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6083
MajorTom - Chinese Manned Space Program v1.5 http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3179 
CMSP is the source for textures for dockports and solar panels. 
 
The enclosed launch scenario would in theory work with the CMSP addon but I can't get the $*%& thing to join up.
