SSI-2 "OASI" Mission

[fausto]

SSI-2 "OASI" mission is the second Gaia space station assembly flight. Mission goal is the rendez-vous between "OASI", te new main habitation module, and "ELETTRA", the life support module already on orbit.
OASI launch is scheduled for Wedensday, July, 18th at 19:37 UTC atop a Jarvis B rocket

Just asking.... how many missions would be required to finish the SSI station? (I guess around 20-30?)

And when will be the development taken to the level of a "releasable" add-on?

The station will be habitable after the 4th mission. This is the first assembly level and i don't know if the following modules will be cancelled. I thing assembly sequence will go on until mission number 7 in order to add main research module Marconi, the Cielo Telescope and hopefully the Sfera module (it is like a giant cupola).

I don't know if we are going to release it.. I think it will be just a simulated space station assembly!

You should release these modules!

Oasi is ready to be integrated to Jarvis B rocket. Rendezvous and docking between the two modules is scheduled for Monday, July 23th at 19:52 UTC.

The rollout to the launch pad will take place Saturday (Pad JA). The launch is scheduled for Wednesday July 18th at 19:37 UTC

Hi Fausto,

All best with the mission on Wednesday!

Just wanted to ask whether the station modules were/are to be released for download? I'd love to build with them!

Best,

Dores

 

[fausto]

We will find time to release them! :thumbup:

Cheers Fausto!

OASI module was successfully launched yesterday, and now it's on orbit at 390 km alitude, on the right path to intercept ELETTRA module and perform the first Gaia Space Station docking, which is scheduled for monday, July 23th at 19:52 UTC.

Oasi module is spending its third day in space. RCS units performed some fine burns to reach the right orbit to intercept the Elettra module tomorrow, Monday July 23th at 19:52 UTC. Docking operations will be broadcasted live on OLM:
