Orbiter Forum Space Station
I'm often building space stations and many others have done the same, so I got the idea to build one together with other Orbinauts. There was something similar discussed some months ago about different groups modeling space station parts, but this is only about building a space station with existing parts.
The following ships will be used:
- Deltaglider IV
- Space Shuttle (Shuttle Fleet or SSU)
- XR-1
- XR-2
- XR-5
- CTV
- ATV
- Progress
Here are the types of mission that would be flown:
- Construction: Space Shuttle and XR-5
- Payload: Station parts.
- Supply: Deltaglider IV or XR-2 (also ATV and Progress)
- Payload: Supply module (e.g. MPLM).
- Crew: Deltaglider IV or XR-1
- Payload: Three long duration crew members for the station
Home Port - Wideawake International
Each pilot should finish a mission in at least three real days, if it isn't finished I'll just add the modules to the station via the Scenario Editor, so that the next pilot can fly. After completing a flight, the scenario file should be saved after the landing and then posted by the pilot.
A package will be posted including required config files, scenarios, and a list with the required addons for every mission. The first part, a big node module with strong RCS will be brought into orbit by me via the Scenario Editor, into a perfect 375km, 45° orbit.
So any Orbinauts who are interested should join the OFSS Social Grou HERE and post which of these spacecraft you're able to launch, rendezvous, and dock. Reentry skills are not required.
As many are having problems with reentry, it is not necessary to be able to land at a base, just deorbit and land somewhere, preferably as close to the target as possible. Looking forward to all who want to join! Feel free to post any questions and suggestions here. Also any suggestions for a name for the station would be great too.
Sign in until June 10th and answer the poll!
Best Regards,
Astrosammy (Mission Director)
