Description

[Abort] hibernate

KISS-II is an upgrade of my original Kerbal Interplanetary Space Station that comes with a complete set of Minimus launchers, making it easier for the first-time space station builder to get into orbit. It is also simpler to assemble.

Asterisk is the first launch and provides the space station ‘hub’. (Note that the Asterisk hub is self-powered [R] and is capable of boosting itself to the desired, final orbit.)

KISS-II is comprised of the following components, to be launched in sequence:

  1. KISS-II Asterisk
  2. KISS-II Observatory
  3. KISS-II Cupola
  4. KISS-II Orangutan
  5. KISS-II Lab Hab
  6. KISS-II Solar

Note: All launchers are rated for polar orbit.


Deployment:

  • SAS Hold and ignition
  • 32 m/s go Sfc Pro
  • AP 72km and coast
  • after 50km jettison fairing
  • circ 72-75km
  • Asterisk separates and maneuvers to higher orbit (recommend 90km)
  • place Asterisk into hibernation [Abort]
  • return to Minimus S1 and execute retro burn at 159W
  • Sfc Retro and coast
  • nearing KSC, if overshooting, apply brakes [B] judiciously

Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.11.2.
