Description

A stock observatory called Outpost. Built with 95 of the finest parts, its root part is crewCabin.

Outpost is intended to be put into a Kerbolar orbit either just trailing Kerbin or just leading.

It facilitates the easy spread-sheeting of trial maneuver nodes for plotting proposed interplanetary transfers.

It’s also the ideal assignment for your indolent or inept space cadets!

To position:
1. raise Ap to 84 megameters (just inside Kerbin’s SOI)
2. reaching Ap, raise Ap (on the opposite side of the orbit) slightly further to just exceed Kerbin’s SOI
3. just after escape, zero velocity relative to target:Kerbin
4. adjust orbital period to match 426d 0h 32m 24.6s
5. fudge slightly as necessary

The objective is to place Outpost at a Kerbin-stationary position just outside Kerbin’s SOI in order to make trips between Kerbin and the Outpost as rapid/efficient as possible.

Built in the VAB in KSP version 1.6.1.
