[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.

Solar is the sixth kind of launch and provides the space station with solar power.

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

Deployment:

• use Resources LF check box to open all tanks; pin open the X200
• 1/3 power; SAS Hold; Ignition
• 20 m/s SAS Sfc Pro
• when nose has pitched down to 45 deg go full power
• AP 50km coast
• 45km full power AP 75 (don’t use more than half the X200
• 70km stage first fairing and warp momentarily to rid it
• stage fairing 2 & payload [Abt]
• payload AP T-30 burn for circ
• deploy panels [5]
• return to S1 for recovery; S1 Radial Out and [B]
• return to Solar and maneuver for KISS-II; use Finch to finalize if necessary
• in close proximity bleed fuel from X200 into all boom tanks; retract the panels; stage the panel trusses
• rotate the Puffing Billy 90 deg around its longitudinal axis and then fire deorbit retros
• put back into hibernation to save charge for SAS Hold under final parachutes
• return to the space station and use the Finch to dock the trusses

CONGRATULATIONS!! You are now READY for business!
You do have two options:

1. de-orbit the Finch and remain in LKO
2. or dock the Finch to the Cupola module; refuel with LF (very little OX) and then resituate elsewhere; e.g. Mun, Minmus, Duna…
