Special cargo in the bay: a set of temporary solar array that will serve to power the batteries that keep the station alive until Snax give the station it's own power source.

Seeing these shuttle missions reminds me of the 282 X5 missions I did from Briton Beach to a 100 km circular lunar orbit to build my space station using Orbiter 2010 P1 and IMS 1.0. The main reason it took me so many missions is I brought up each component from the lunar surface and then docked it onto the station using a 10x sized Canada Arm..My turn my turn !!
My flight was just before @LordCroussette.
Soooo, this is LGS-5 flight.
This mission is about bringing a module to an embryo of a Space station that I started 2 years ago in Orbiter 2010.
Shuttle Massilia is on the pad.

And "Lift off of Massilia, building the station and our future in space !"

Had fun with SSV Mission Builder to place the latches on the longerons. We know see the Shuttle's payload, a module that I called "Schuman", after Robert Schuman, one of the precursors of modern Europe.

It's a successful landing at the KSC by night with this lovely picture of Massilia about to touch.

And for this mission, I did a quick patch, I will do one for every mission I do as of now
View attachment 34324
Now Massilia will rest, another Shuttle will take it from here and continue the assembly on a next mission !
See you all !
Well I do hope you don't plan to bring that back to Earth. A fuel cargo tank placed in front of the DG? The reentry will turn it into a bomb! x)
